The heroine of her own novel
“I live in a way that makes you want to film a movie about me.”
Aesthetics over function. They pay for an experience, not for a night out.
One colour. One night. Every state we usually keep to ourselves.
A private event in Kyiv for those curious how an evening looks when everyone has agreed to be themselves. One dress code — a red dress. For everyone: women and men alike. The permission — to allow yourself everything.
We invite you to dive into the depths of temptation and honesty with yourself. Open up to a new experience — allow yourself the courage to be different.
This is not just a party. It’s the perfect chance to make a statement and to live those tempting moments we usually don’t allow ourselves. A unique space of possibility and openness, of desires and fantasies realised. A space of freedom with beautiful rules.
To find the courage to be bright, alluring and provocative. To become part of a celebration of Life — and to remind yourself how important it is to step out of your usual shell and embrace your many sides.
Let’s grow bolder together — and dive into the atmosphere of the red colour of passion.
Different lives, different languages, different reasons to come. The only thing shared — the dress, and the permission to be yourself for this one night.
“I live in a way that makes you want to film a movie about me.”
Aesthetics over function. They pay for an experience, not for a night out.
“A place to relax and finally meet the people who get it.”
Founders, producers, creative directors. No corporate vibe — the format is honest and tasteful.
“I’ve always wanted to try something unconventional in what I wear — this is a chance with a frame around it.”
Men from creative fields. A safe space to experiment with your look — no judgement, full support.
“Tell me there is a real party in Kyiv tonight.”
Journalists, models, stylists, creators. The Kyiv worth posting in a story back home.
You don’t need to be a model, an extrovert or “perfectly fearless”. Curiosity and a readiness to respect others’ boundaries are enough.
An evening about states we rarely enter, yet wish we could more often. The perfect chance to make a statement — and to live those tempting moments we usually don’t allow ourselves.
A red dress — for women and for men. That single rule becomes the central piece of the composition. Red in frame — Caravaggio and Almodóvar at once.
A space of possibility and openness, of desires and fantasies realised. Freedom with aesthetic rules that help you reveal your facets.
The event has a guided flow, without chaos. Each stage is about a different depth of contact.
Welcome drink, first faces, first toasts. Time to exhale after the road and look around without rushing.
Gentle facilitation of introductions. Small rituals and little handmade things that take the first step for you — we keep the details for the night itself.
Eye to eye, without words. A few facts about yourself in threes. Nothing that would make you feel ashamed — only what brings attention back to the body and the moment.
Participation is voluntary. You can skip any exercise.
Dancing, an open vibe. The night we’re all here for.
Stay as long as you like. Leave whenever you want. No ceremonial goodbyes.
Preliminary date — Aug 1, Saturday. Think intimate private event, not a mass party.
We share the details of participation in correspondence after your invitation is confirmed. Think intimate private event, not a mass party.
Participation includes a welcome drink, the evening’s programme, facilitation and the work of an invited photographer.
There are no mandatory physical practices at the event. At any moment you can say “no”, leave an exercise or simply observe. Contact — only by mutual consent. The facilitator holds the atmosphere, the boundaries and the pace of the evening. Photos — only with respect for guests’ privacy.
At the event there’s help from a stylist and costume designer within the theme. As an optional extra — a small capsule of dresses and skirts by Maria Kulieva, available to guests a week before the event. Not at the door, not at the last minute — so that everyone finds their own.
Contact MariaThis party isn’t only about actions.
It’s about states we enter very rarely,
yet wish we could more often.
If you feel this event is about you.
