The esteemed Ukrainian conceptual apparel label, SIDLETSKIY, has unveiled its latest collection for Spring/Summer 2024 named “Be/is,” aimed at echoing the intrinsic individuality of each person. The assembly epitomizes the ideology of self-rediscovery and the expression of genuine identity through the medium of attire.
The brand’s designer shared, “Our collection explores the concept of reverting to one’s true identity, highlighting the societal pressures and norms we often conform to, to gain acceptance or reach accomplishment, many times suppressing our innate emotions and instincts.”
The collection portrays a profound expression of constructivism, blending architectural designs with refined textures, featuring versatile pieces such as dresses, suits, and tops, alongside some of the brand’s signature pieces. A distinctive item is an elegantly loose raincoat, symbolizing transformation and self-restoration. Its simplistic and succinct silhouette harmoniously integrates with diverse wardrobe elements.
This season, SIDLETSKIY emphasizes meticulous handcraftsmanship. A notable milky-colored top stands out as a piece of haute couture, with every drapery fold intricately hand-laid.
SIDLETSKIY reimagines traditional motifs and appearances, creating innovative pieces utilizing time-honored Ukrainian techniques. “Our designs infuse ancient traditions and unique weaving techniques, aiming not only to preserve but propagate them,” commented the designer. The brand accentuated the collection with decorative beads made from blown glass inspired by traditional “lyskavky” jewelry, each piece embodying uniqueness that is irreplicable and inimitable.
Remaining true to its principles, the brand seamlessly integrates reconstructive design with architectural elegance, emphasizing the ethereal nature of their creations with raw edges and neutral color palettes, representing a commitment to minimalism and intelligent fashion. The collection stands as a testament to individuality and the pursuit of authentic self-expression, disregarding societal validation.
