Introducing TTSWTRS, the Ukraine-based label to know now

The new label-to-love creating tattoo-inspired “second-skin” apparel.

Founded by stylist and costume designer Anna Osmekhina in 2013, “creative laboratory” TTSWTRS [which stands for TATTOOSWEATERS] combines modern minimalism with dark graphic inkings from international tattoo artists, including cartoon artworks from Korean artist @hugotattooer and sensual drawings by @nesheva_ulyana.

“I began my career as a stylist and in a short time became a popular specialist for Eastern European stars,” Anna Osmekhina tells us. “While working as a stylist, I took a summer course at Central Saint Martins.

“The impulse was a meeting with the talented tattoo artist Ian Levin,” she adds. :He inspired the idea of creating a capsule collection with him in collaboration. I didn’t plan to be a designer. Initially, it was just beautiful and comfortable clothing for friends and clients.” Since then, the brand has enjoyed a sell-out collection in Colette and international stockists in the US, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, UK, Austria, Russia and Ukraine.

From rebellious slip dresses, mesh bodysuits and voluminous outerwear, check out HUNGER’s five-piece edit of TTSWTRS’ FW18 collection in our gallery below.
