Olena Zelenska's former stylist named the brightest image of the first lady in three years of cooperation: details were carefully worked out

Natalia Kamenska, a Ukrainian designer, co-founder and creative director of GUNIA Project, spoke about her collaboration with the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska. The stylist has been working with the wife of the Ukrainian president since August 2021, leaving her post a month ago. In addition, the artist named the most successful image of Zelenska for more than 3 years of collaboration.

In an interview with the YouTube channel "Speaking Support," Kamenska explained what she and the public figure were trying to convey to the audience. "With the war, of course, we rethought our entire wardrobe and positioning, we didn't sew new things, but we always wanted to speak. Lena had to speak louder than before the war, and I think she became the voice of Ukraine at some point," the fashion designer said.

In particular, the designer emphasized, special attention was paid to details when creating images for the first lady. One of the elements that became iconic for Volodymyr Zelenskyy's wife was the symbolic brooches that could often be seen on the first lady's lapels.

Kamenska believes that the best image for a public figure was the outfit she wore to address the U.S. Congress. "For me, Olena's speech in Congress was the most memorable. It was an event in general, because she was the first woman speaker (the first wife of a foreign president - Ed.) to speak in Congress. The topic she raised was the war in Ukraine," the stylist recalled.

The designer added that the image was carefully thought out in detail: "We made a very elaborate costume, because at that time, I don't want to be wrong, but I think there was a very difficult situation with the war in eastern Ukraine. We added embroidery from a towel from the eastern (part of - Ed.) of Ukraine to the costume, which we used in the storytelling, and I think it really enhanced the whole speech."
