A Visionary Clothing Designer Lucy Oleksyuk.
Lucy Oleksyuk was born in Kolomiya, Ukraine. She received her Bachelor of Fashion Design from the Lviv National Academy of Arts. Lucy is a visionary clothing designer, who incorporates the elements of Ukrainian folk art into her stunning contemporary collections.
While living in the Ukraine, Lucy was influenced by indoor mural art, as well as by graphics. She enjoys creating landscape and portrait art in her spare time. Over many years, she has designed and tailored a vast number of custom-made pieces.
Nowadays, she is inspired by creations of artists from different historical styles, including modernism, urbanism, ethnic influences, and pop-art. The configuration and silhouette are always accentuated in the collections through expressive geometrical forms are combined with drapery softness. The garments incorporate natural materials, such as leather, furs, wool, silk, and cotton.
Lucy`s creations are infused with traditional Ukrainian elements, with which she attempts to forge a symbiosis between Past and Present.
Since 2009, she has participated in the Fairmount Arts Crawl & Philadelphia Open Studio Tours – POST from 2009 to 2018 and had three personal fashion shows at the Ukrainian League in Philadelphia.
In her collections, Lucy expresses her vision, imagination, thoughts and life experiences; her creativity and artistic expression contribute a special quality to the exhibits and fashion shows.
