Fashion. Style. Harmony.


What does it mean clothing and culture? How should people choose clothes not to look banal in the most expensive dress/suit and be gorgeous in the simplest one? These are the questions I wanted to cover for many years of my life, but being in a whirl of activities of everyday life, working in the sphere that has nothing to do with fashion and living in Kyiv – a big megalopolis and the capital of Ukraine – I left my dream on the most distant shelf of my subconscious suppressing my inwardness and my understanding of “Inner Me”. Look and style of every person is inseparably linked with inner feeling and who you are. After many years of working in megalopolis and due to my close friend I happened to be here in Northern California – a mecca of luxury, wealth and unbelievable beauty of nature. And If there is a heaven on the Earth, than it’s here in Marin County… It’s a perfect combination and harmonious coexistence of two different worlds: wildlife with its small inhabitants and our modern world with its fuss and endless progress. They look like two parallel worlds that do not bother each other and do not disturb the rest of its inhabitants. This State is completely different from the rest of US States I’ve been to. The difference is tangible in lifestyle, fashion, food culture, body cult…this list can be endless but I would like to stop on the style of clothing. This is the very place where I decided to do the thing I postponed for many years again and again being busy with everyday activities of my life. And this is the place where I want my dream to come true!

The style of Californians pleasantly surprised me with its ease, comfort, relax and unique beauty. You will never find here people dressed in the same way. It’s not about fashion just for fashion, it’s about the fashion that is within us and every new look is a self-expression of each of us. Fashion is an art to be natural, to highlight your own individuality and unique beauty and it’s very important not to overstep the verge of that perfect and ideal look. Our style, world understanding, state of mind, feelings, emotions and passion are expressed in our look. You can blindly follow the fashion and at the same time you don’t feel comfortable or natural in this or that look. It’s not about the clothes that make us attractive, charming and fascinating, it’s our hot and gorgeous body, impeccable skin, magnificent hair, mysterious character, stunning charm, charisma and uniqueness. All these character sketches and body peculiarities make our look amazing and unbelievable. The simplest and banal dress may look gorgeous on an interesting person with rich inner world and vice verse; the most expensive one may be ugly, because we make our own style and fall out of step not looking for new clothes, but trying to understand who we are in this sometimes even crazy world. Each of us is unique, but we all try to understand ourselves, find our own style and only after that we radiate happiness, inner harmony that helps us look 100%, highlighting the beauty and magnificence of our body, peculiarities and uniqueness of our soul, distinctive features and charisma of our character by delicate dress, perfume, accessories, etc. Style is what we are, it’s people that surround us, hobbies, etc.

There are no people that can be so to say ‘replaced’ as all of us are different and we should prove it in our ability to dress well and unique!

I believe that every modern person notwithstanding the age and sex ask these questions. I look forward to your comments and testimonials because each of us leaves a part of him/herself and no matter if it’s just a tiny part, but perhaps it helps somebody else understand who she/he is.

More soon…

  1. Reading you newly born creation, I cannot but refer to Coco Chanel, who said, that "...Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." Wishing you a success with such a creative beginning! Truly yours, Iris.
