TTSWTRS pushes body and identity into a new dimension—where tattooed illusions, raw sensuality, and AI-built worlds collide, turning the human form into both canvas and manifesto.
Founded in Kyiv in 2013 by former costume designer and stylist Anna Osmekhina, TTSWTRS short for “tattoo sweaters”, began as a collaborative art-and-fashion experiment before evolving into a label. We first discovered the brand during their early days at Kyiv Fashion Week, where they stood out for drawing from the subversive allure of tattoo culture. At its core, every collection champions freedom of identity, body acceptance, and unapologetic self-expression.
Since then, they have built a following spanning the globe worn by a wide roster of cultural icons including Offset, Zayn Malik, SZA, Nicki Minaj, Tina Kunakey, Grimes, Winnie Harlow, Kourtney Kardashian, Kristen McMenamy, Róisín Murphy, and Sita Abellán, among others. Despite its international reach, TTSWTRS remains deeply rooted in local production. The brand continues to operate a manufacturing hub in Kyiv that houses garment production, printing facilities, and an experimental workshop. Rejecting traditional seasonal calendars, TTSWTRS focuses instead on purpose-driven releases defined by craftsmanship rather than trend cycles. Environmental responsibility is also central to the brand’s ethos. Since 2020, TTSWTRS has prioritized the use of sustainable fabrics.
TTSWTRS’ Fall Winter 25/26 collection shot backstage by Monica Molto during New York Fashion Week celebrated the human form in all its raw authenticity. Following the show, the Ukrainian brand also unveiled their official campaign and a fully AI-generated lookbook extending the narrative of the collection beyond the runway into a visually striking universe. Stand out pieces include the intricate Metamorph fringe dress, entirely hand-laid thread by thread, creating a waterfall effect with a first-of-its-kind print on textured fringe. The dress comes with piercing accessories worn on the nipples. In line with the brand’s DNA the “blurred tattoo” effect, sees motifs appear to melt down the body, merging with the skin and creating the illusion of traces left by wear or moisture. The Skin Couture jeans anchor the look with a low-rise, raw-cut waistband, zippers, and carabiner closure, allowing the fit to shift effortlessly for a sense of suspended sensuality.
