Born in Kherson, Ukraine, Yura is a young artist, sculptor, and model. At the age of 6, Yura enrolled in "The Tavrium Art Lyceum," where he began his artistic journey.At the age of 12, he started participating in local art contests for sculptures and decorative arts, winning certificates and medals. It was at this early age that Yura discovered his passion for recycled fashion. Within a couple of years, he presented his first student collection of fashion pieces made from second-hand materials.In August 2022, following the occupation of Kherson by Russian military forces, Yura was forced to immigrate to Holland, where he currently resides. In September, he received confirmation to debut at Miu Miu SS23 Paris Fashion Week with a Ww Exclusive. This opportunity led him to work with major industry creatives such as The Norgaard, Vanessa Reid, Lotta Volkova, Robbie Spencer, Elodie David, Touboul Vanessa Reid, Viviane Sassen, Katie Shillingford, Marie Chaix, Liv Liberg, Isabelle Sayer, Helena Tejedor, and Guen Fiore.During his spare time, Yura enjoys cutting second-hand clothing into smaller pieces and sewing them into something new. He defines himself as "he" but is open to exploring the fashion world by wearing both men's and women's clothing and interpreting any type of character.
