Project 1: THE MULTI-STYLE HATS
Ladies I am sure all of you will be able to relate in some way or the other to what is about to follow: cold winter blues tend to undress all of the beautiful hues of colour that make up a woman’s feminine charm. In all seriousness how many of you do think it’s kinda cute to pair elegant boots and fancy coats with thick, plain looking woolen hats that have a spiky pompom at the top? … Hmm I thought so too ;)
That is how I came up with this ‘fantamiraculous’ idea that I am about to share with all of you! I am going to redesign how we ladies express our sense of fashion and identity even in the midst of the coldest winters … all through the hats that we wear. The main premise of my idea is as follows: through the introduction of a circling belt-like strap around the hat, we can add different designs or pieces of jewellery that match our unique personality and make an additional statement about how we identify to the world. There is no need to modify the hat itself. It can be another plain, woolen hat but with the addition of your personal touch … that will make it uniquely YOURS.
Are you liking this idea so far?? :)
The hats can be pretty multifunctional. To provide you with an example, let’s just say that you have two winter coats. One is brown in colour and the other bright red. As you will be able to see in the ‘Olesya’ collection of hats below, you can easily pair both coats with a bright green hat. Simply adjust your hat with a reddish belt when you don your bright red coat and a brownish belt embedded with beads when wearing your brownish coat. Tadaa!
Fantastic … Gorgeous … Sexy … Simply amazing … * Clears throat*. Ladies, basically what I’m saying is that you will always look really cool in them whatever your age and however you roll. And I speak from personal experience. Strangers on the street, my friends, gentlemen and ladies alike, have all complimented me on it. The best response though did come from my husband who was completely wowed the first time he saw me in one. And he actually never notices anything I’m wearing. Has any guy every complimented you on your hat fashion sense before? ;)
But I can sense your rising excitement so let us move forward with my explanation of this revolutionary hatty hatty idea! The hat is meant to have three different levels of straps: two smaller ones fixed on the ribbed edge of the material and a larger one strategically placed in between the smaller ones. This enables the creation of curved lines as well as a limitless ability to play with belts, chains, beads or whichever product hits your fancy. That is why the hat in itself becomes a multifunctional aspect of your wardrobe that you can accessorise however you like.
Below are three samples for your perusal and enjoyment.

make your business style unusually bright
CONCEPT DRAWING
Traditionally speaking, the suit and tie business attire has been a fashion staple universally recognised to be masculine. In this current evolving world though more and more women are stepping up to male dominated areas so it is equally time for women’s business fashion sense to evolve in a similar way. The tie-brooch concept is a notch upwards from the usual skirt and suit. It translates the uniqueness of feminine power to the wearer and is a form of business dress in opposition to more rigid forms of masculine wear.

Project 3: THE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DRESS
CONCEPT DRAWING
Still in this series comes a business dress that may serve multiple purposes …
Pair it with a vest or an elegant tie for important meetings or simply on a regular day at the office. Ladies working in fields such as social work may find it particularly useful since the need for more formal wear is only required during court hearings.

Need to attend a dinner or gala event after work? Stay classy either by pairing just the tie with your dress or removing it altogether. In both stances, feminine charm is at its apogee.
As you can see though, the tie is not the most essential element in this attire. You may choose to preserve only the collar for a chic yet professional look. The multifunctional dress can be accessorised in so many more ways.
Project 4: THE SPLIT WAIST EFFECT SKIRT

Meet the split waist effect skirt, a business attire that is both discreet and enigmatic at the same time. It is perfect for casual Fridays that end into relaxing evenings out with friends.
