In a recent development, Miss Ukraine Universe 2021 Hanna Nepliakh has revealed her national costume for the preliminary competition tomorrow. The costume is called ‘Embroidered Code of Ukraine’ and is inspired by the beautiful art of embroidery prevalent in her country. The skirt is decorated with 25 embroidery hoops, equipment used in the process of embroidery, representing each region of Ukraine, including Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk region.

The designers wanted to showcase the diversity, richness and uniqueness of embroidery of different regions of the country in one image. “Every nation has its own unique code, which is present in simple things - traditions, songs, fairy tales, clothes. Traditional Ukrainian embroidery occupies a special place in Ukraine. Depending on the historical region of Ukraine, embroidery ornaments differ in details, colors and their own unique embroidery technique. Masters in the process of embroidery lay in their product not only beauty but also a subtle spiritual symbolic meaning, signs of some kind. In ancient times, clothes and towels were often decorated with embroidery. They were carefully preserved and passed on to descendants. Embroidery really distinguishes our people, it is our personal and sacred. For Ukrainians, embroidery is a process of spiritual growth and upliftment,” said Natalia Shevchuk, the designer of the costume, while explaining the importance of craft of embroidery.
