Young fashion designers from Poland promote vyshyvankas with Belarusian ornaments

A fashion show of young designers from Eastern Partnership countries took place in Białystok as part of the festival Wschód Kultury/Inny Wymiar. The attenders had a chance of judging the collections of Polish and Ukrainian designers.

It is curious that young Polish creators actively use Belarusian national ornaments and embroidery in their works.

Xoroshe.pl is a Podlasie-based company. The fashion designers say that they combine modernity with traditions. Many residents of Podlasie, a historical region in the eastern part of Poland, are Belarusians.
