Paris, France — October, 2023: against the stunning backdrop of a teal and gold French-windowed salon, within the historical Parisian left bank palais, ‘Maison de l’Amérique Latine’, Ukrainian luxury womenswear brand, KARUNAS, launched its highly-anticipated collection, “The Gift of Woman”, during this Paris Fashion Week.
Originally conceived last year, this exceptional collection by the Ukrainian designer was regrettably delayed in its full debut due to the onset of the conflict in Ukraine. Post show an emotional Nadia Karunas, Creative Director of her eponymous brand, declared “It’s a dream come true to not only finally show this collection on the runway, a moment which we’ve all been waiting for – but on a Parisian catwalk, no less, on the closing weekend of Paris Fashion Week.”
“The Gift of Woman” — Celebrating the Essence of Womanhood
The collection is a reverent celebration of the innate value and magnificence of women. A woman is not merely a gift to the world but also to herself—an embodiment of unparalleled power. This collection serves as an ode to the profound ways in which women enrich the world with fresh perspectives, new beginnings, and transformative ideas. Each meticulously crafted piece narrates a unique story and embodies the inherent beauty that resides within every woman.
Craftsmanship and Consciousness
At the heart of “The Gift of Woman” lies Karunas’ unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. Each garment is a testament to the brand’s dedication to creating not only visually striking pieces but also environmentally-conscious fashion. The collection features exquisite fabrics such as sumptuous velvet and delicate silk, embellished with dazzling Swarovski crystals, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication. Karunas takes immense pride in its use of eco-friendly materials, including animal-print fabric sourced from sustainable origins and high-quality faux leather, underscoring the brand’s commitment to sustainability and ethical fashion.
