Agnieszka Osipa, Costumes inspired by Slavic Fairytales

7 Aug

Poland based costume designer Agnieszka Osipa creates a wardrobe for another world. Another time. Her creations turn modern women into mythic royalty — protectors of ancient lands.

Osipa draws inspiration from painting and folklore. As a girl, she was fascinated by folklore and felt inspired by Eastern European traditions. This surreal mythology has helped form her artistic style.

“Yes they are often added to my design process,” Osipa says. “This is where I am from, and I feel that Slavic culture is often regarded as minor compared to other cultures of the world, I try to change that by showing how rich and inspiring it can be, when you really dig into it.“

She graduated from the Lodz Academy of Fine Arts, with diploma in fashion design.
