Olga Boyarinova
Artist, fashion designer
She is a graduate of the Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Industry in Saint Petersburg. Since 1999, Olga has worked as a designer for various local brands, and in 2006 she founded her own fashion house Olga Boyarinova. Under this name, she created costumes for theater and stage looks for Russian and foreign artists. In 2013, she became particularly interested in the topic of sustainable development in fashion and six years later launched the Boyari brand as a result of long-term research. She was particularly inspired by the material "apple skin" (yes, it actually contains apple peel), as well as the highly eco-friendly fabrics Tencel and Hollofiber. In Boyari, she sews everything from dresses and down jackets to bags.
