At Vogue Talks in Kyiv, speaker Marta Skalska stepped on stage in a look by REPULO’S — the red Catalina cocktail mini dress with pleated cape sleeves. Covered, elegant, yet impossible to miss — the kind of dress that lets you hold the room without shouting. Below: the event, the look, and the dress you can order from the brand’s site.

The eventWhat is Vogue Talks and what was it about?

Vogue Talks is one of the most talked-about events at the intersection of fashion and culture. In Kyiv it gathered thought leaders, creatives and inspiring women to speak about what matters most — the relationship with yourself: self-acceptance, confidence, the inner dialogue and the strength of female identity. Among the speakers was Marta Skalska, whose appearance drew attention not only for her words but for her look.

The lookWhat did Marta Skalska wear on stage?

Marta chose the Catalina mini dress by REPULO’S. The dress is elegant and covered, with no hint of the vulgar. But the detail that turned the outfit into a true statement was the pleated cape sleeves. During the talk, every gesture became a small piece of choreography: the sleeves moved with the speaker, and the audience instinctively watched, listened, felt. That is not an accident — it is the art of clothing that amplifies the person wearing it.

Why REPULO’SWhy did this look work?

Several things came together in this choice. Marta needed a dress that matched the context of the event — intellectual, inspired, feminine. Not vulgar, but noticeable. Covered, yet vivid. A dress that lets you speak — and speaks for itself.

That is exactly what REPULO’S is about. Our clothes are for those who want to stand out without bowing to trends; who value originality and aren’t afraid to surprise; who look for more than a wrapper in what they wear — an instrument of confidence. Marta spoke about the relationship with herself, and the Catalina dress became part of that statement. Because when you are dressed right, you feel like yourself. And it shows.

The brandREPULO’S — for those unafraid to be seen

We make pieces that add confidence and the feeling of being special — not because you’re trying, but because you simply are yourself in the right look. Vogue Talks confirmed it for us: clothing is not a backdrop, it is part of the voice. REPULO’S is a Ukrainian fashion brand for those who want to surprise.
