      Fashion designer Olesya Telizhenko settled down in the Ukrainian fashion industry from the moment of awarding the President`s grant on 2005. Owing to this grant was created her first collection named “Drevo rodu” based on the motives of the traditional Ukrainian rusnik. Later on she made several collections which generated the main style of the designer – ethno-modern.  

      The familiar style is easy to recognize in her collections «Miy dobriy zvir» (2006), «Skifiya zolota. Velykyi step» (2007) and «Tatkova vytynanka» (2008): modern silhouette and traditional motives combination, usage of expensive natural materials and, of course, large space of handmade embroidery. 

      The authentic manliness is typical for the men collections by Olesya Telizhenko, which shows the inner sense of the personal style. Thoroughly selected color and texture of the materials makes the special feeling of the comfort and confidence.  

      Making the women collections Olesya pays a great attention to the cut, complicated applications and decoration, but all this bases on the natural materials anyway. Just that very combination of the details, which completed with the handmade work from element to element brings the tenderness and sensitiveness to the clothes ensembles.

      Olesya won’t going to stop. Among her famous clients ex-President of Ukraine – Viktor Yuschenko and his family, Rosava, Nina Matvienko, “Mandry” band etc. In the frame of the Ukrainian Fashion Week, on spring 2010, the designer presented her new collection of season Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 “Dykyi prostir” making an emphasis on the men audience with the typical style ethno-casual. Besides that, the designer created the new eco-line accessory collection.
