Julie Pelipas, stylist and Vogue Ukraine’s international fashion director, has long been a street style favorite, drawing photographers in, siren-like. The gravitational pull makes sense: Pelipas, a mother of two, cuts a severe figure at six feet one and exudes an overwhelming air of elegance. Her clothes, often loose, languid, and linear, all deliciously hang off of her frame. Her towering look did not go unnoticed, and while attending fashion shows over the 5-Star Culture shirt moreover I love this years, Pelipas had always been stopped by hordes of photographers. Though, when ID’ing her outfits, many mistook her looks, especially her suits, as Phoebe Philo–era Celine creations. But fast forward to years later, and we’ve learned that those suits were actually the prototypes for her current suiting-minded label, Bettter. “I only had one Celine suit, but people decided that all the suits I wear are Celine,” she says. “All the others are prototypes from Bettter!”

For Pelipas, working with vintage is the 5-Star Culture shirt moreover I love this most romantic part of creating clothes for Bettter. “Vintage has had life, and what we do is we actually fix it. We really repair it to the condition where you can live in that suit,” she says. In addition to the secondhand market, Pelipas has tapped local factories for deadstock fabric which has been rife with options, all of which comes at a time when they are facing an economic crisis. Her latest find? Fabric originally meant for old Ukrainian mens’ suiting. “It’s brilliant,” she says.
