Ones To Watch
Constanzia Yurashko
Moldova
Constanzia Yurashko is a high-end Moldavian brand with a sustainable ethos and totally committed to domestic production. Starting with womenswear first, then expanded into menswear, it is now defined as an androgynous line. Our collections are about one’s attitude, character, power, strength, uniqueness, sensibility, regardless of the gender identity.
We mainly use Swiss organic cotton, linen, wool and their blends which are dyed with natural substances, including berries or fruits where possible. Our garments are 50% handmade in our workshop with the uttermost attention to detail, often using time-consuming and hand-executed techniques. The entire supply chain management control is essential for us, in order to deliver a human-ecological quality product to our end customer.
‘Passage Through Time’
‘Passage Through Time’ is an artistic journey of time–traveling, from 14th century men’s shoulder capes with dagged edges, 16th – mid 17th century men’s clothes cut and construction, specifically doublets and linen shirts, 18th century British stomachers, to the archetypal Julia Cameron’s Victorian figures, Hammershoi’s mood and Traditional Dutch Costumes from beginning of the twentieth century.
For our ‘Passage Through Time’ Film we have had a wonderful collaboration with one of the most talented composers Ilya Beshevli, who allowed my favorite composition – Compassion to be played as a soundtrack for the video. An absolute honor!
Thank you to Chemonics International INC, implementing the Moldova Competitiveness Project, Funded by USAID, Government of Sweden and UKaid, for supporting the realization of this Film and Campaign.
