Michał "Misha" Orłow — Co-Founder
Misha (Michał) Orłow is the co-founder of The Lucid Node. He studies at the University of Amsterdam. He has worked multiple jobs since he was 16, across hospitality, retail and corporate environments. He handles the side of the project that isn't design, but rather how it's built, funded and structured, and who it gets made with. He's interested in design, technology and philosophy, and in trying to ask the right questions. His favorite sport is rugby.
The Lucid Node exists because we believe that a brand can only do good if it treats respecting ecological and human rights standards as the absolute bare minimum.
We made this collection with raw organic cotton that has not been bleached. Thanks to that, it retains a beautiful and charming texture dotted with particles from the cotton plant.
The whole collection has been GOTS-certified, including our pieces of clothing, but also our tags and embroidered cosmos flowers that are here to symbolize harmony with nature.
We are not searching to bend nature to our designs, nor to get bent by nature. Our flagship design, Mirabilia, contains a glass orb filled with bioluminescent algae that gives us light only when it wants to and gets properly taken care of. This dress only functions when both humans and nature work together.
What we believe in most of all is connection. This first collection is our response to the question: Trying to do the right thing, what does that actually mean?
But we can't ponder these questions alone. That's why, in future collections, we will be working with artists all around the world on fashion collections to bring you their answers.
Most of all, we are curious to know too.
