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.
This collection is a tribute to transformation. Inspired by the feathers, forms, and flight of birds, it explores the tension between strength and delicacy, chaos and grace. Each look is sculpted in pleated fabric, designed to echo the movement of wings and the quiet power of breath. Crafted entirely by hand, the garments carry symbolic shades of red, black and beige – colours drawn from Ukrainian cultural heritage, each one speaking of protection, rebirth, and resilience. Nezlamna is not just about adornment – its about presence. It is clothing for women who are both grounded and untamed, spiritual and bold. Every fold holds a fragment of freedom.
