PERFORMANCE PART 1

PERFORMANCE 2025 - Mayfair, Hanover Square.

Pola Łupińska is to debut at Haberdashers Hall for the Final Graduation Show of the Design,

Branding and Entrepreneurship Students. Pola Łupińska will present six looks of her

first collection from her brand, LADY POLA, introducing PERFORMANCE.

LADY POLA is a couture womenswear brand, founded in London. Pola Łupińska's main

intention with LADY POLA is to bring back Traditional Techniques and skills that have

been lost due to overconsumption and mass production. Bringing back Polish

Craftsmanship with Crochet Lace and celebrating the skills that her grandmothers have

passed down to her, the creation of LADY POLA has been an emotional and rewarding

journey through her Fashion Career.

The debut collection, PERFORMANCE, crocheted with legacy and intimacy. At the heart

of the collection is a single colour: black. Elegant, sensual, and unapologetically bold.

Inspired by the traditional Polish handcraft of lace crochet, a skill passed down from

generations of women in Łupińska’s family.

PERFORMANCE reimagines heritage with

contemporary seduction. In a world where everyone is performing, on stage, online, in

love, this collection blurs the line between power dressing and private allure,

PERFORMANCE wants women to embrace the preparation of a woman during the day

to them present themselves in their best way; much like a Fashion Show where the

energy and buzz around a backstage room where everyone is preparing, and

completed with a stunning, jaw-dropping Runway. We translate all effort of this hard

work and preparation through our crochet, a hard-working process of every stitch and chain.

“PERFORMANCE is about the duality we live in every day. We dress to impress,

protect, attract, and express. There’s performance in every gesture – whether in the

spotlight or behind closed doors.”

- Pola Łupińska.

Rooted in craftsmanship and emotion, LADY POLA’s PERFORMANCE is a tribute to

the inherited rituals of womanhood and the modern complexities of feminine identity.

Each garment tells its own story to resemble any kind of woman’s own tale, through the

framed in satins with our tailored suits pieces and trousers created for the elegant, to

the intimate sheer layers for the risk-takers, and the brand’s signature handmade black

crochet lace, made by the Designer herself, for the ones who embrace tradition and

handcraft.

PERFORMANCE is split into two separate shoots, the first one featuring the future tailored staples and classics of LADY POLA.

Look one features an intimate Lace Crochet Bodysuit framed in with a Straight pair of

Tailored Black Trousers.

With a similar pair of straight trousers, the second outfit is a Cropped Tailored Jacket and a beautifully handcrafted Black Lace bra; a piece that experiments on the boundaries of comfort.

The third outfit is a sculptural ode to the female form with a hand-crocheted spine of

lace blooming down the back.

PERFORMANCE is launching on the LADY POLA website and will be presented for the Final Graduate Show on June 9 2025.
