Ukrainian fashion

The history of Obrani fashion house is a history of inspirations and design solutions, resonant shows and the deserved recognition.
Now the fashion house is managed by its main designer and ideological inspirer - Helen Migdisova - her non-standard ideas, magnetic images and such a special understanding of internal female beauty. Since childhood Helen cherished a dream to create beautiful and feminine clothes. While travelling a lot, she absorbed nuances, details of style of different cultures, developed her exclusive creative scent and taste.
But not at once the fashion house became what it is now, its formation was preceded by the whole history.
The brand exists since 2009. Helen Migdisova's dream to create clothes gradually began to come to reality.
Initially nobody believed even in idea of the fashion house creation and the launch of its work. The skeptics were convinced in unreality of idea, predicted short life of the brand, as well as failure of the undertaking.
The presentation of the first collection has made the meaning perfectly plain by receiving positive reviews in press and a warm welcoming of public. Thus, this was the first, confident step to formation of the fashion house.
The success was fixed by high indicators - the whole collection was sold out in a month.
Helen's charismatic abilities work wonders and here already soon Obrani causes the present furore of the public. October, 4th, 2012 the first live broadcasting in the history of the national fashion-industry from SS’13 runway has caused unprecedented responses in press. The fashion show was visited by the top persons of Kiev’s elite, as well as famous visitors from Moscow and Europe.
