is a Ukrainian designer. Her style is rooted in minimalism, incorporating smart technologies for fabric treatments and detailing. Her work adheres to the principles of slow fashion and reimagines historical silhouettes with a modern engraving, emphasizing clear lines and freedom of movement.

She believes that clothing’s primary function is to protect the body, which inspired her to create a brand of rain and sun coats designed specifically for this purpose.

Maria Banzeruk draws significant influence from Ukrainian art in her designs. The flagship colors, red and black, were chosen for the first model, Party31, due to their prominent role in her homeland’s culture, where they appear in traditional clothing and symbols.

In the rain-abundant Azores, where Banzer started, museums still preserve capes with large hoods that locals wore for centuries, long before fast fashion and its global influence.

Thus, the connection between generations and the synergy of cultures are key creative elements in the models designed by Maria Banzeruk.
