VISION
Garments that hold presence — pieces that live between art and wear, body and ghost.
About the Brand
In Ukrainian, the name Vyshnevetska translates to "cherry"—a metaphor that perfectly captures the essence of the brand. Like the fruit, the label is a study in captivating contrasts: sweet and alluring, yet possessing a sharp, tart edge that makes it unforgettable. Palais Des Chimères is a demi-couture house focused on wearable art. Crafted from premium materials with impeccable tailoring, these garments are designed to act as a second skin. They are an invitation to shift your perspective. By stepping into a piece, the wearer is encouraged to leave the ordinary behind, look at the world through a new skin, and embrace the transformative power of becoming a chimera.

VID’MY
The collection is inspired by an ancient Ukrainian belief that every being and every object possesses its own skin through which it perceives reality. Humans see one world, while other beings may simultaneously witness another. Reality is never singular; it depends on who—or what—is looking.
The story follows a group of young witches who gather in the forest to perform a ritual. A black cat watches them silently, acting as a guide between two worlds. During the ritual, something shifts. The witches cross into what appears to be the afterlife, where the boundaries between consciousness and madness dissolve. Only the cat remains unchanged, observing their transformation.
Yet the narrative deliberately leaves questions unanswered. Did the witches truly enter another realm, or did they simply experience the reality the cat chose to reveal? And perhaps the most unsettling question is: was the cat ever truly a cat?
Each look represents a different state of seeing, blurring the boundaries between reality, illusion, folklore, and memory.
Ultimately, Vid’my proposes that clothing can transform not only the body but also the way we experience the world. By wearing these pieces, one symbolically adopts another perspective—seeing reality through a different skin.
