Ms. Danilishen started with wall pieces, performed in the batik technique; at the same time she began creating unique and exclusive hand-painted silk fabrics (wearables), each of the garmets possessing its own character. The emphasis is on hand-painted fabrics and hand-done finishing. Each collection of garments is based on a well-researched theme. The latest one is entitled, "Water Nymph" inspired by Claude Monet’s works of the early 20th Century, sensuous and free paintings of water lilies. The theme is also reflected in the form of garments with layers of semi-transparent silk chiffon, streaming and flowing like water. Presently, Ms. Alexandra Danilishen resides in Chicago, Illinois where she opened a textile and fashion design studio in 2001.
