Olesya is a young Russian-Finnish fashion designer located in Helsinki, Finland. Born in a small town in Southern Russia, where she spent her childhood and teenage years. Before moving to Finland she studied information technology, graduated from Rostov State University of Transport, Russia and worked as a system analyst for a Moscow-based IT-company.
However, her dream has always been to become a professional fashion designer. In August 2009, Olesya started her fashion education in Tampere Vocational College, Finland, where she got a seamstress qualification. Shortly after that she was accepted to study fashion design at Aalto-University in Helsinki.
In 2016, she was elected as a finalist in the International Talent Support Competition with her “ON THE EDGE” BA final collection in Trieste, Italy. Currently she is finishing her BA-degree in fashion at the Aalto-University and working on her own brand “NO.RR 312”, which was launched in May 2017.
With this collection, her aim was to give a different point of view on stereotypes of so-called Russianness and combine archaic features of national costume with futuristic elements of urban life.
