Though Natalia Fedner launched her eponymous label seven years ago, her designs have recently become flashy catnip to celebrities. The slinky dresses and tanks are formed from a patented metal “chainmail,” shimmy-friendly and completely curve-skimming. They’re the perfect on-stage or red carpet head-turner: Fedner counts Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Kylie Jenner, Megan thee Stallion, and Alicia Keys as fans of her megawatt garb.
Fedner got her start studying at the Parson’s School of Design. There, she entered a contest between the Fashion Institute of Design and Parsons and opted to submit a knitwear piece. Fedner had only known how to knit by hand, but she quickly learned from a professor how to knit on a loom, and made her first piece, a tank top. From there, her love for knitwear bloomed. She credits her love of experimenting with metal to her parents, Soviet-era engineers from Ukraine.
She creates her signature pieces out of her own, patented six-way stretch metal. The material doesn’t only stretch from right to left and up and down, but also from the front and the back. The front-to-back stretch further allows Fedner’s pieces to mold the body, meaning that the same piece can fit someone from size 0 to 18.
More recently, Cardi B sported a bikini and t-shirt dress made from over 1,300 feet of chain metal on her Instagram in February. Megan thee Stallion wore a chain and crystal gown, along with a silver chain thong to theEdition launch event this July. The gown took over 1,800 feet of silver chain to construct, while the leg chains were composed of 40 feet of vintage Swarovski silver chain.
