Poland based costume designer Agnieszka Osipa creates a wardrobe for another world. Another time. Her creations turn modern women into mythic royalty — protectors of ancient lands.

She graduated from the Lodz Academy of Fine Arts, with diploma in fashion design.

Agnieszka Osipa rents out her costumes and also takes commissions — if ever you were in the market for a truly breathtaking, spellbound dress or crown for an occasion demanding nothing less than ethereal perfection, this should be your first stop.

Osipa draws inspiration from painting and folklore. As a girl, she was fascinated by folklore and felt inspired by Eastern European traditions. This surreal mythology has helped form her artistic style.

Polish designer Agnieszka Osipa’s creations feel like home to me, embodying a sort of feral holiness I associate with Slavic folklore…

A good read. Thank you Patti

P.A. Moed

Most people walk by the plaque on the corner of 5th Avenue and 15th Street in New York City without noticing it. Even if they stopped to read it, they most likely would not know that it commemorates a historical event which rocked New York City in 1943.

At 9:40 p.m. on Monday, January 11th, someone fired a bullet into the back of Carlo Tresca’s head, killing him instantly.

Carlo knew a bullet would find him soon enough. He was a realist who knew his luck would evaporate someday. He had escaped several assassination attempts and still he had not backed down from the fight. His enemies were powerful and dangerous–Communists, Stalinists, and fascists from around the globe. He even joked about his death to the distress of his friends, united by their fierce loyalty and devotion to him and the anti-fascist cause.
