New collection of exclusive accessories.
Pattern design: Daria Alyoshkina (Ukraine)
Exclusive accessories of the new Franco-Ukrainian brand VYTYNANKA, inspired by the traditional Ukrainian craft technique called "vytynanka". This traditional art consists of cutting symmetrical patterns out of paper.
The collection was created in collaboration with renowned Ukrainian artist Daria Alyoshkina. It revived the ancient craft tradition of vytynanka and transformed it into a true modern art. Today, the artist's incredible paper panels are exhibited all over the world. Each giant panel is cut by hand. The patterns are never repeated.
The artist first draws a sketch, folds the paper in half, then manually cuts each element: the result is a unique paper lace.
The author's drawing was transferred to digital format to create collars in vytynanka technique and, for the first time, textiles were used instead of paper with the French technique of Richelieu lace. Thus, the absolutely decorative art, born from such a delicate material as paper, turns into an exquisite design accessory. The concept best demonstrates the evolution of vytynanka art, its modern aesthetic and the possibility of collaboration with design.
"Working with vytynanka every day, I am always amazed by its versatility and universality in various forms – I see it in metal, wood, ceramics, but most of all I wanted to see it in textiles so I could wear this beauty every day," says Daria Alyoshkina.
VYTYNANKA accessories are created for those looking for something special.
The collar is ideal to combine with dresses, shirts, T-shirts, jackets and sweaters. Put this accessory in your purse with lipstick and your casual outfit will instantly transform into a refined outfit.
