STUDENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ART AND FASHION DESIGN VISITED THE SEWING ATELIER AND SHOWROOM OF THE BRAND “ELESEL”

On September 17, 2025, students of the first (bachelor's) level of education of the educational and professional program “Fashion Design”, accompanied by their curator Nadiia Liuklian, visited the sewing atelier and showroom of the brand “ELESEL”.

Designer and founder of the brand “ELESEL”, Svitlana Litvinova, met with students to share her experience of creating her own brand, outlining the key stages of its development and the specific features of the modern Ukrainian fashion market. She paid particular attention to the transformation of ideas into finished models and clothing collections, as well as to the principles underlying the brand’s stylistics.

The meeting took place in a live discussion format, where students actively asked questions and showed interest in the specifics of the design profession and career prospects in the fashion industry. During the visit, they also had the opportunity to view the products presented in the “ELESEL” showroom, including evening and wedding dresses distinguished by their original cuts and high-quality craftsmanship.

A separate part of the meeting was devoted to an introduction to the materials and fabrics used in garment production. Particular interest was sparked by the opportunity to observe the production process, including the work of seamstresses and craftsmen who create components and accessories, such as designer buttons.

Special mention goes to Valeria Kryvunenko, a master student, who assisted in organizing the excursion and contributed to the successful implementation of the event. This experience proved to be an important step in helping students understand the practical side of the fashion industry and inspired them in their own creative development.
