01The house

An independent house of pleated occasion wear

REPULO’S is a European atelier of occasion wear — pleated evening dresses, cocktail dresses and gowns for weddings, galas, proms and anniversaries. Pleating is our signature, and every design is created by Kateryna Nechyporenko in her studio in Warsaw.

Each piece is produced in the brand’s own atelier in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, in a limited number and with hand-finished detail. Nothing is standardised: every design is made to order and tailored to your individual measurements and height, at no extra cost. Order online at repulos.com, with worldwide shipping — to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Germany and many more countries.

Kateryna Nechyporenko

Founder & Lead Designer

Kateryna leads every creative aspect of REPULO’S and designs from her studio in Warsaw. She brings a European sense of form together with the hand-craft precision she inherited from her family’s tailoring workshop.

Her designs are defined by architectural silhouettes and signature hand-laid pleats, finished with the couture floral details that run through every collection. It is pleating that has become the hallmark of the house — from pleated evening gowns to cocktail dresses and anniversary ensembles.

The brand’s strategy and business direction are led by co-founder Dmytro Nechyporenko. REPULO’S is a family project, deeply personal and built to last.

03The journey

From a mother’s workshop to an independent house

Roots

A family tailoring tradition

REPULO’S grew out of a family tailoring tradition. Kateryna’s mother, Olena Repulo, a master seamstress with decades of experience, spent years working with fabric in her own workshop. It was there that the future designer learned a respect for detail, an instinct for cloth and precision in the making. The brand’s name is a direct tribute to that heritage.

Dubai

A debut and an international award

Kateryna Nechyporenko created her first collection in Dubai, one of the most demanding fashion environments in the Middle East. It was there that she debuted as a designer and was recognised with a young designers award — an early confirmation of her talent on the international stage that opened the door to shows abroad.

2022–2023

Toronto Fashion Week and a solo show

REPULO’S was formally registered in 2022, and its collections were presented at Toronto Fashion Week. In 2023 the brand staged its first solo runway show in Toronto, establishing its presence in the North American market.

The brand has also appeared on Canadian television and across the international fashion press, including L’Officiel.

2025

Warsaw — studio and salon

Since 2025 Kateryna Nechyporenko has lived and worked in Warsaw. The brand took part in the pop‑up section of Warsaw Fashion Week, and in the heart of the city the REPULO’S studio and salon now offer the full collection by the designer alongside carefully selected pieces by other European designers.

04The craft

Pleating — our signature

“Every design is an original, made in a limited number of pieces. No repetition, no mass production.”

Our signature is hand-laid pleating — it gives a dress the movement and depth a flat fabric never can. Designs are born in Kateryna’s studio in Warsaw and made in the brand’s own atelier in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, in a limited number. Fabric is chosen for each design, hand-finished and quality-checked at every stage, and every piece is cut to your own measurements and height, at no extra cost.
