About

Anastasiia Pozhydaeva is a Kyiv-born designer whose work explores the emotional and cultural dimensions of dress. Educated at Polimoda, Central Saint Martins, and London College of Fashion, her approach blends sculptural form with deep respect for artisanal processes and sustainable values.With experience at Mowalola, Bobkova, and various emerging ateliers, Anastasiia has developed a design language that is both refined and resonant—centering the human, the handmade, and the timeless in every creation.

Echo is a womenswear collection that explores cultural memory, emotional resilience, and the power of craft in times of conflict. Inspired by life before the war in Ukraine, the collection reflects themes of longing and preservation through tactile storytelling. Created using natural deadstock fabrics from Recovo and Marton Mills, it features hand-felted wool, crochet, and low-waste construction techniques. Digital design via CLO 3D supported material efficiency and silhouette exploration. Echo is a tribute to tradition reimagined—connecting past and present through garments that carry both personal history and collective strength in every stitch.
