About
Ukrainian fashion designer Ivanna Diadyk is deeply informed by nature, spirituality, and the desire to honour Ukrainian culture. Growing up in Kyiv, Ivanna studied Fashion Design and Art, forming a strong foundation of knowledge in Art History and design techniques. Moving to London in 2021 to pursue a BA in Fashion Design at Regent’s University, Ivanna continued developing her creative skillset. She started utilising natural dying and printing methods and environmentally friendly materials into her work. Since 2022, the ongoing war in Ukraine has resulted in mass instability and a deep sense of powerlessness for Ivanna and her people, many of whom had to flee the country for safer ground. With this, Ivanna’s designs and sources of inspiration shifted. She began incorporating symbolism and silhouettes that pay homage to Ukrainian traditions. But beyond this, she now endeavours to create garments that provoke profound feelings of freedom and empowerment for the wearer.
Collaborative project with Johannesburg Warnke. The metro project is about the feeling of space and the emotions that we experience in this place. This project also took inspiration from dystopian themes and 90s movies. The 1995 film Fallen Angels, directed by Wong Kar-wai, was one of the inspirations for this project. The atmosphere, colors and materials were the main points in this project.
