For every woman who wants to express and PROYAVI her uniqueness. High-quality materials, stylish silhouettes, and unique designer details create a timeless look that emphasizes individuality.

Brand History

Yana and Victoria, who studied styling together, decided to create a joint brand by the end of their course. Through a long process of trial and error, they arrived at their first full collection in July 2021. The inspiration for this collection came from a classic men’s suit borrowed from a husband’s wardrobe. This gave birth to the key visual concept of the brand: the freedom of personal boundaries framed by a strict masculine silhouette that does not suppress delicacy but highlights intelligence, sensuality, and character. Currently, Proyavi is represented at Bolshoy department store (Yekaterinburg) and Trend Island (Moscow).
