“We are all responsible for the future we create through the choices we make today.”

For Julie Pelipas, fashion is not simply an industry but a reflection of how we choose to live. The former Fashion Director of Vogue Ukraine has built a career grounded in the belief that style carries meaning, responsibility and cultural power. Renowned for her precise tailoring, intellectual approach to dressing and unwavering sense of self, Pelipas represents a vision of fashion that values substance as much as beauty.

After helping establish Vogue Ukraine as one of fashion's most influential editorial voices, she founded Bettter, a platform dedicated to transforming existing garments into contemporary luxury. The project challenges the industry's culture of excess, proposing a more thoughtful approach to consumption where creativity begins with what already exists.

Beyond fashion, Pelipas has emerged as a significant voice for Ukrainian culture, resilience and innovation. Through her work, she continues to champion designers, artists and makers whose perspectives are shaping the future of global fashion.

What distinguishes Pelipas as LOVEWANT girl is her conviction that elegance, politics and ethics need not exist in opposition. She belongs to a generation of women redefining luxury through intelligence, purpose and authenticity. In a world obsessed with the new, Julie Pelipas reminds us that true progress often comes from reconsidering what we already have, and imagining what it might become.
