Before a concert in the philharmonic

I'm going to a concert of my favorite singer Pavlo Mrezhuk in the philharmonic. I took the picture before I leave home.

Lviv Fashion week

Lviv Fashion Week is one of the most large-scale fashion events in Eastern Europe. I was invited at Lviv Fashion Week spring / summer 2010 hosted on October 23-25, 2009. I would like to thank organizers for such beautiful event! There are few photos from two days:

International competition of opera singers

I need to write a separate post about my idol Solomia Krushelnytska. But this post is about event related with Solomiya. Lviv hosted the Forth Solomia Kru­shelnytska International Opera Singers Competition at 16 – 25 October 2009. Nowadays, mentioned competition ranks among the 20 most prestigious competitions for opera singers in the world. I was invited to Gala Concert in the Lviv National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater. Yo can see my festive look.

Transparent holes

A few days ago I watched a movie about a black hole in space. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing. It is so upset. So, I decided do something much better! I created a transparent hole in the hat! Yep, In order to be consistent with deep space I used a black color but you always can fill these holes with light and other positive objects :).

White rose

White roses can mean many things to many different women. They can convey feelings of love, friendship, respect and hope. I think that combination of white rose and black hat just underline all mentioned thing together.

Unexpected simple meeting

There are hundreds billboards about candidates in Ukrainian's president election in the city, but only one of them communicates with me directly: he shakes my hands :).

Flowering Ukraine

End of previous month was eventful. We celebrated an Independence Day of Ukraine and few days later Assumption of Our Lady. I was at Patronal Feast of Assumption of Our Lady Church in Lviv:



After service I went to the downtown to see map and flag of Ukraine that were made from flowers:




BTW, It was really cool to see that Diana is one of us:

Autumn

I do not really like Autumn. I've noticed that there were not enough sunny days last summer. It would be nice to have a few more now. But the reality is a little different :(: cloudy and rain are our friends at most of the fall's time. The weather also begins to get colder. But one think is awesome! Autumn is the time when deciduous trees shed their leaves. As result, parks begin to change their green color to red, orange, yellow or brown. There is no time to stay at home or office! I put on a black beret with orange and go to greet Autumn.

Gold & black design

What do you think about gold & black colors? Yes, this combination is the most common and effective combination that is used in jewelry. I am sure that there is no female that does not like a gold ring with black onyx,isn't? :). I tried to use this combination in my hat's design. I hope you will like it too.

Hat of emerald color

I am going to the theater! There will be Cio-Cio-San opera today. I've decided to wear a hat of emerald color for this event.

Red flower

I planted garden bed of flowers for Bill Clinton : ) last summer. It blossomed at August 19. This photo is taken at that time. I shown it to my friends and asked them to choose the best flower there. The answer was: No doubt, you are the best red flower around :)!

White hat and flowers

The summer time is almost over. It is a little bit upset that the sun does not shine so strongly any more. But anyway, as you know, the nature does not have a bad weather. And I can say the same about me: I always have some creative ideas :) regardless of any events around. I created a white hat and T-short yesterday.

Polka dot

History of clothes shown above started in 1975. I went from work to home near drapery one fine day. It was the famous (and one) place for creative designers in USSR: there was huge range of different fabrics and you can bay small pieces of them !!! I saw 6 meters of polka dot material. By the way, my family and I planned a vacation trip to the Black Sea at that time...and I was looking forward good-looking swimsuit. Yes, I was looking forward, because there were no such swimsuits at all! All swimsuits that I saw were simple black/gray one-fashion-like swimsuits. So, I bought fabric and created new exclusive hat, blouse, swimsuit, skirt and big shawl in two days. I used only my moms' sewing machine ZINGER... I was like a star at the Black Sea a few weeks later. No one believed that I had created all mentioned set myself and asked me: “Where did you buy it and where is this swimsuit made?” My reply was simple: “Made in Japan. No more comments.”. People gossiped in background: ”Wow! How it possible to buy any fabric made in Japan in USSR? Who is this women?”... It was really fun time. Nowadays the USSR is collapsed, I am not 27.. but, the history is repeated: I went to home near new “World tissues” store... polka dot material... memory... and, as result, a new hat.

My new hat
