Imagine twisting a kaleidoscope on a sun- drenched morning colours fracturing into infinite, mesmerising symmetry, each rotation revealing something more dazzling than the last. Now picture that same hypnotic beauty captured not in glass and mirrors, but in the most exquisite silk, tailored with surgical precision and brought to life by British hands. That, my darling reader, is the Kaleidoscope Capsule Collection by Mariya Dykalo and Laura Green, a five-piece silk wonderland that doesn’t just enter your wardrobe. It transforms it.
This is no ordinary collaboration. In the hushed grandeur of The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, beneath cascading chandeliers and classical mouldings, the collection revealed itself not as a standard presentation but as a quiet study in creative reverence a tribute to the artistic vision of one extraordinary woman in particular.
Mariya Dykalo, the Ukrainian-born artist and designer based in London, is a true creative force whose work bridges fine art and fashion with rare emotional depth and technical mastery. Trained in both art and fashion design, she rose from intern to Creative Director of Aspinal of London, where for over a decade she designed covetable handbags that became instant best-sellers and favourites of the Princess of Wales, Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lopez, Sienna Miller and more. Her hand-drawn illustrations and paintings pulse with symbolism, meticulous detail, and
a profound sense of harmony drawn from her cultural roots and lifelong passion for creating. Alongside her close friend Laura Green, the acclaimed London-based designer celebrated for her purposefully modern, impeccably tailored womenswear, Dykalo has brought to life her original painting titled Kaleidoscope. Hand- painted with painstaking layers of royal navy, silver, gold, and light blues, it marries Art Deco grandeur with 1920s retro opulence: intricate motifs of pearls, diamonds, and tassels dancing in symmetrical, repeating patterns that feel both timeless and thrillingly modern. Multiple layers of acrylic give the composition a dreamlike depth, blending memory and imagination into something quietly hypnotic.
Green saw the painting and knew instantly this belonged on fabric. Not just any fabric sumptuous silk that catches the light like liquid gemstones. The result is a capsule so versatile, so distinctive, and so utterly addictive that once you slip into one piece, you’ll find yourself reaching for the others, layering, twisting, owning every room you enter.
Every garment has been designed and made in London, printed in close collaboration with talented students at the Glasgow School of Art, and finished by skilled British artisans.
This is British craftsmanship at its most luxurious a celebration of established mastery meeting emerging brilliance. Green’s clean, sculptural silhouettes think fluid trousers that elongate the leg, a shirt that drapes like liquid poetry, a camisole that whispers elegance, and separates that move with feline grace meet Dykalo’s kaleidoscopic brushstrokes in perfect harmony.
The prints shift subtly with every movement, turning each piece into something alive, immersive, and quietly dramatic. What makes this collection irresistible is its deeper magic. In an industry driven by speed and constant churn, Kaleidoscope chooses deliberate softeness in every motif carrying the memory of hours of hand- drawn precision and thoughtful refinement that define Dykalo’s artistic process. Fabric swatches, printed silks, and the original framed artwork were arranged with curatorial care at the launch, inviting guests to trace the full journey from canvas to finished garment. An accompanying documentary produced by WOW Oscar Film Studio and directed by Ksenia Bugrimova captures these intimate studio moments, revealing the emotional layers, trust, and shared vision behind the work, with Dykalo’s illustrative universe at its radiant centre.
Each twist of the original kaleidoscope-inspired artwork reveals something new just as every way you style these pieces reveals a new facet of you. Drape the silk shirt open over bare shoulders for evening drama. Cinch the trousers with a statement belt for daytime power. Let the camisole catch candlelight at dinner. These are not clothes you own; they are extensions of your own distinctive spirit artful, individual, and unapologetically opulent.
The collection officially launched in October 2025, but its allure has only grown. Limited in number and infinite in possibility, it speaks directly to the woman who refuses to blend in. The woman who seeks clothing as layered, as mesmerising, and as deeply personal as she is and as richly storied as Mariya Dykalo’s own creative journey.
If you’ve been waiting for the moment when fashion finally feels like fine art you can live in this is it. Stop scrolling. Start dreaming in royal navy and liquid gold. The Kaleidoscope Capsule Collection by Mariya Dykalo x Laura Green is available now. One piece, and your entire wardrobe will never look the same again.
Because some patterns aren’t meant to be admired from afar. They’re meant to be worn and to make the world turn its head every single time you move.
