“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2019 WWW. UNWLA .ORG 31 Tetyana Paliy’s designs have been described as both whimsical and elega nt. Some of her creations are “retro” in style, indicating a love of the past. One example of this phenomenon in the featured collection was a beautiful wedding gown and wedding shirt for the groom — each embellished with charismatic Ukrainian embroidery on exquisite fabric.

After the fashion show presentation, guests examined the items for purchase with 25 percent of sales designated to the U krainian Humanitarian Relief Effort specifically to help families in eastern Ukraine affected by the recent military crisis. In closing , it is worth noting that Ms. Paliy participated in the Miss World competition held in China by creating the national en semble for Miss Ukraine. Her work has also been featured at the UAModna Chicago Fashion Show in 2016 and at a fashion show held in Montr eal. _______________________________________________________________________________ Snowman vs. Snow Baba: Cultural S emantics Once upon a time, when I was a child growing up in Philadelphia, the snow fell and fell and fell all night, leaving the streets covered in white fluffy drifts. By morning the snow was deep enough to make walking and driving to work or school diff icult, so parents and children took the day off to shovel and to play. Our family joined the neighbors, non - Ukrainians, who started making snowmen. We went in a slightly different direction and created a beautiful Snow Baba, adorning her with a fancy flowe red hat an d scarf. The neighborhood kids started singing “Frosty the Snowman,” a song we were not familiar with. So we countered with a few koliady. It was not till many years later that I thought about the gender differences in our respective creations, c oming to t he conclusion that Ukrainian women were in many ways the movers and shakers of many of our hromada families — whether they were stay - at - home moms or moms who worked outside the home and still managed to cook and do other domestic chores, always mag ically fin ding time for friends and fun and community work. It was a role they assumed naturally, a point underscored by Martha Bohachevsky Chomiak in her book Feminists Despite Themselves . They did it all, and they did it well. − tsc
