Nastia Kot is a creative platform and living archive that explores Ukrainian heritage through the lens of contemporary fashion. The brand name is a tribute to  is my mother’s maiden name.

My practice focuses on translating traditional Ukrainian costumes, materials, and artisanal techniques into modern silhouettes. At its core, my work is a tangible manifestation of feminine care and touch, brought to life through meticulous handcraft and ethereal, moody aesthetics designed to evoke curiosity.

Driven by a commitment to social and environmental responsibility, I utilise sustainable practices such as repurposing secondhand clothing and sourcing deadstock wool. By merging archival documentation with a functional shop, I aim to celebrate intangible cultural heritage and advocate for a more ethical, emotionally resonant fashion industry.
