Us
We're Stas and Misha. We met at the French School in Warsaw and spent the last year building this.
The idea is pretty simple, we want to work with artists and interesting people in different cities, actually get to know them, and let each collection come out of that. Different minds meeting, and something existing because of it.
This first chapter is just the two of us. We haven't done a city yet. Foundation is us laying the ground first, saying what matters to us before anyone else is in it.
Raw unbleached cotton, nothing stripped out of it. Cosmos flowers embroidered by hand. GOTS-certified down to the tags, not as a selling point, we just think that should be the bare minimum.
Mirabilia came out of the same thinking. A dress with a glass orb of living algae that gives light only when it's looked after.
It doesn't work if you ignore it, and it doesn't work if you control it.
We liked that it doesn't quite belong to us.
First city is Paris, soon. From there we're not doing this alone. We invite you for the journey.
Michał "Misha" Orłow — Co-Founder
Hi, I'm Misha (Michał) Orłow.
I'm the co-founder of The Lucid Node, and I'm very excited about the launch of our brand. Stas and I have known each other for a long time, since our days at the French High School in Warsaw. I'm interested in business, technology, art, and my favorite sport is rugby. I'm currently studying at the University of Amsterdam, and we've been working on this project for almost a year. We sincerely hope you'll like it. :)
Stanisław Kostrzewski-Rozenek — Creative Director
Hi, my name is Stanisław Kostrzewski-Rozenek and I am the Creative Director of The Lucid Node. With Misha we worked really hard to bring this vision to life. I hope you will enjoy the first collection inspired by nature and get lost in THE LUCID NODE's Analog world.
We are Stanisław Rozenek and Misha Orłow. Here's what we've been working on.
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.
