In the world of fashion, the brand Irina Filova stands as an embodiment of dedication and craftsmanship. Over four decades, she meticulously honed her skills in the art of embroidery under the tutelage of master teachers. Each day, she immersed herself in this timeless craft, evolving her expertise.

But what sets Irina apart is her unique source of inspiration – the works of Vincent Van Gogh.

Unlike many artists, Van Gogh’s distinctive technique involved applying brushstrokes to the canvas with irregularity, leaving areas deliberately untouched and even some paintings incomplete. Irina found profound inspiration in this approach, infusing her embroidery with an ethereal quality that captures the essence of airiness, lightness, and vibrancy.

The result is a stunning collection that reimagines Van Gogh’s masterpieces through the delicate art of needle and thread. Irina Filova’s creations are not mere reproductions; they are a testament to the fusion of two artistic worlds – where fashion meets the spirit of the great Dutch painter.

Step into Irina Filova’s world of embroidery, where each stitch weaves a narrative of timeless elegance and artistic transcendence. Her pieces are a testament to the beauty that arises when fashion embraces the magic of fine art.”
