Following her lifelong dream to become a costume designer, Iryna gives a chance to her clients to try a new look and revive the history of the ancient city.
Iryna Shuhtueva has been working at the National Historical-Architectural Sanctuary "Kam'ianets-Podilsk Castle” since May 2015. She likes to compare her services with time travelling. When her clients try on clothes similar to those that were worn by inhabitants of the fortress and take a promenade around medieval gates and walls, they can imagine themselves living several centuries ago. Iryna has more than 50 outfits, some of them she found at a flea market, others she sewed herself. By the start of the next tourist season Iryna plans to deepen her knowledge of the history of fashion design and create new outfits. In order to perfect male medieval images, Iryna needs to have armour and swords; her husband who recently started learning smithing will take care of it.
