DYWWA is an artwork that you can wear rather than only hang on a wall. DYWWA (Do You Want to Wear an Artwork?) brand was created by an artist Alëna Olasyuk who has a goal to attract attention to art in a more common way, through fashion. 

DYWWA can be called a multifunctional instrument for creating an artwork on cloth or such basic clothing as a T-shirt or a top. Cloth acts as an imitation of a canvas or paper and simplicity of cut gives a perfect chance to watch an artwork without unnecessary deformations. 

DYWWA is more than a brand. It is classical understanding of art as a process of self-expression on all stages, from drawing to the final step – a collection photo shoot. Alyona starts with expressing her idea through wood block printing technique, signing each piece of work and giving it a private number which makes it unique. The next step is demonstration of the work as a happening where art lovers buy these pieces and present them on their bodies, proving that the human form can serve as a gallery and passersby as spectators. The final step is a collection photo shoot made by artists of varied genres and styles, further making each piece of work and the whole collection one of a kind.
