Telling Our Stories: Ukrainian Fashion Designer Tania Homenko

Westchester resident and Fashion Designer Tania Homenko shares her story with us and the inspiration for her fashion designs, which are based on Ukrainian textiles and patterns.

Beginning her studies at the Kyiv Technological Institute of Light Industry, Tania Homenko continued her education at New York City’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). This opportunity was made possible with the support of her Ukrainian-American friends and led to a successful career in the fashion industry. Today, she is an adjunct professor at FIT, a designer in the Garment Center, and the owner of a recently established clothing brand – Sew Fashion School. This fall, a collection inspired by traditional Ukrainian costumes will be released. Long-time Pelham resident, Tania is excited to have an opportunity to share her love and knowledge of Vyshyvanky – the traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirts.
