Inspired by the folk ornaments, color compositions and motifs of Ukraine — created from the cultural heritage of all its historical and ethnographic regions.
The geometric patterns of Volyn keep their sharp definition, those of Ivano-Frankivsk region build a dynamic rhythm, and those of Lviv region leave plenty of clear linen around them.
A particular highlight of the shirt is a stylised woman's neck ornament, the «borshchivskyi yazyk», which comes from the Borshchiv area — today's Ternopil region.
Crimea appears in the composition through a motif reproduced from a traditional Crimean rushnyk and worked in Kasnak chain stitch, characteristic of Crimean Tatar embroidery. This element is an important reminder that Crimea is an inseparable part of the Ukrainian cultural space.
