Original projects
( number of products: 6 )
Hello! I'm Kuba Dobrenko, lead designer and founder of Oakstall. For over a decade I've been creating unique custom costumes, treating each project as its own adventure. Through these years, I've learned not only to adapt designs to the client's silhouette and needs, but above all to listen to your dreams and turn them into reality.
The costumes I design aren't meant to just look great in a photo or for a moment at an event. I care that every element is thoughtfully designed – from comfort during long hours of wear to material durability that will last for years.
Creative Process and Inspirations
My work begins with observation. Watching popular series, films, and analyzing games, I extract the essence of characters and worlds that fascinate me. I follow the work of the best costume designers and concept artists from around the world, but I also draw inspiration from history, material culture, or simply chance encounters on the street.
Sometimes one motif, material texture, or even the way light falls on old armor in a museum makes me sit down with my tablet and sketch an entire silhouette. I imagine then how someone will wear that 6 kg leather armor, how they'll move in it, how they'll feel in their own skin – because that's what's most important.
About the Open Projects Category
In this category, I share my ideas with you. Each one is a new original project that we'll create for you from scratch. Over time, you'll see more new drawings here, where we detail with descriptions all the elements that make up the complete silhouette.
The design process never ends, and this place is my way of showing costumes I want to share with you.
What You Get When Ordering a Project
With every order, I include detailed measuring instructions – step by step I'll guide you through the process so the costume fits perfectly. You'll also receive complete information about all materials used and practical care guidelines, thanks to which your costume will serve you for years.
But that's not all – throughout the entire creation process I maintain constant contact, sharing work progress and ensuring the final result exceeds your expectations.
Project Personalization
Each project has an established base price, but the final cost always depends on your individual needs and dreams. What you see in the drawings is just the starting point – I can customize the project specifically to your wishes. Want to change the color scheme? Add personal symbols or crests? Modify the cut for a specific silhouette? No problem.
The best projects are born from collaboration. If you want to change something in an existing Open Project, write to me. Tell me about your vision, share your inspirations, and I'll guide you through the entire creative process. Together we'll create a costume that will be perfectly tailored to you and your story.
Remember – this isn't just a costume, it's a way to express yourself. That's why every detail matters.
