Yana Goburlsky de Supayana

Supayana est la jolie collection de vêtements créée par la jeune designer Yana Goburlsky. Fabriquées à partir de vêtements récupérés, les créations de Supayana sont loin de l’image qu’on peut se faire de l’éco-design. Pas de sac de patates transformé ni de vêtements au look granola. Au contraire, les créations de Supayana sont bien coupées et conçues dans de beaux tissus.

Montréalaise par adoption, Yana d’origine russe a vécu à Moscou et à New-York avant de s’installer dans notre belle métropole pour y suivre son amoureux. Trois ans seulement et déjà sa marque se taille une place sur la scène montréalaise underground. Entre deux coupes de ciseaux, Yana a gentillement accepté de répondre à quelques-unes de mes questions (entretien en anglais car elle apprivoise la langue de Molière).

First Moscow than NY and now Montreal. Why Montreal ?

I moved to Montreal because I wanted a change from a fast-paced life. Also, I met my boyfriend at the HQ Galerie & Boutique opening party. Wow, that was already three years ago! He’s from here, and we did the long distance thing for a while, and then eventually I decided to move up here.

How would you describe your style?

My personal style is a mix of vintage, basic, and handmade.

What are your inspirations for your clothing line? Any fashion icons ?

My fashion inspirations are vintage fabrics and trims, 1960s pop stars, and just things I see in everyday life. The architecture in Montreal is truly inspiring.

What do you think of Montreal fashion? Are we following NY or do we have our own trendsetters?

I think that fashion in Montreal is very unique. People don’t seem to care what the trends are, and they just do their own thing, which is great. Also, I think that Montrealers have great vintage or second-hand style, probably because the vintage here is soo affordable, and you can still find old old things. In NYC, thrift stores are picked through, and if it’s real vintage, it’s expensive.

Where do you see your line in 5 years? With your new sell point in Japan, are you considering any new destinations worlwide?

Hmmm, five years. I don’t like to plan that far ahead! Haha! Well, I love where I am right now, so hopefully I can continue doing the same thing, maybe having more people doing the production aspect, and selling in more stores.

Mon coup de coeur Supayana: la chemise matelot !
