BALYKINA is a womenswear label based and produced in Ukraine, since 2020.
The brand's designs are distinguished by their transformative and sculptural tailoring, allowing BALYKINA pieces to be worn in versatile ways. For instance, a dress can be transformed by attaching or detaching the train, or even reversed to create a completely new look. Decorative elements, such as signature fastenings reminiscent of historical corsetry, bring a dramatic flair to the clothes.
BALYKINA’s aesthetic revolves around corset dresses and corsets themselves, with the brand’s muse embodying inner beauty, freedom, sensuality and strength. Inspired by the timeless elegance of old Hollywood, founder and creative director Alina Balykyna crafts iconic silhouettes, focusing on proportion and celebrating the natural curves of the female form.
Each year, the brand releases four main seasonal collections of eveningwear, complemented by a bridal line Balykina Bridal and a children's line – Miss Balykina.
