About

My name is Viktoriia Stelmashova.

I am a fashion designer from Ukraine and have been doing what I love my entire life.

My brand, StelmashoV Couture, was founded in Kyiv in 2002.

The war forced me to move to Germany, and for the past three and a half years I have been living and working in Potsdam.

2024
My first fashion show in Berlin.

2025
A fashion show at Frankfurt Fashion Week and a show at the Fashion Open Air in Berlin.

Design Principles
Architecture — garments are created as architectural forms. Precise cutting, construction and sculptural silhouettes form the foundation of the design.

Transformation — transformation is a key element of the brand's design language: reversible garments, detachable elements and modular details.

Craft — respect for craftsmanship and materials. Each piece is created with attention to construction, fabric quality and details.
