Long story - short
ALXNDR OCHERETNY
OCNY is a Ukrainian brand of women's and men's (partly unisex) clothing. Founded in 2009 in central Ukraine, Stryzhivka town.
Paris - since 2023.
Our designer Alexander Ocheretny has his own particular handwriting, which reflects the feelings of joy or pain through fabrics. "It's easier to express your emotions this way than to shout about them." - Alexander says. We have vibrant outfits that breathe emotion.
The aesthetics of the OCNY brand is an inseparable connection of the outer shell, which reveals the inner world of a person through the textiles displaying those facets that seemed invisible.
The key - "Ce n'est pas beau, c'est pire."
[It's not beautiful, it's worse.]
OCNY brand clothing is inspired by the classics and figures of the High Middle Ages. To accentuate the lines and cut of the pieces, to show a unisex prism, maintaining an emotion of confidence and sexuality, as well as practicality. From a light evening look to heavy complicated pieces. Alexander Ocheretny uses his many years of design practice, knowledge of pattern making and fine art to create unique garments.
In addition, Alexander grew up as a child in the ukrainian town named Stryzhivka. He was inspired by flowers and filled with ethnic Ukrainian images. His grandmother instilled in him a love of Ukrainian culture.
That's why you can also trace reinterpreted Ukrainian motifs and the codes of the Ukrainian nation in his works.
Since 2009 OCNY has increased its presence in different European locations and has gained a reputation as a well known brand in Ukraine, where all products are produced. We create all the pieces with high quality materials and proven technology, partly handmade.
In solidarity with nature we also use leftover fabrics for sewing and want your OCNY items to serve and please you for many years.
