ABOUT ALESIA CHAIKA

The Journey Begins

Alesia Chaika, the creator behind Alesia C., is a fashion designer and artist based in Lake Forest, Illinois. This is more than just a brand—it’s a celebration of art, elegance, and femininity. "When I was a child, watching my grandmother crafting custom dresses, I didn’t just see fabric; I saw potential, expression, and individuality coming to life." With three generations of creative mastery flowing through my veins, I invite you to experience my world of sophisticated silks and Art-A-Portepieces, where every garment is a story in itself.

DEFINING ETERNAL STYLE

Welcome to the world of Alesia Chaika, where art transcends the frame and each brushstroke comes to life. Here, color dances and the essence of femininity radiates from canvas to cloth. Alesia C. Art-A-Porte is a revolutionary blend of fine art and luxury fashion, transforming original paintings into wearable art. Each piece—whether a silk dress, blouse, or accessory—tells a unique, meaningful story, designed to elevate the wearer with elegance and purpose.

Alesia C. Art-A-Porte philosophy

Alesia Chaika is a visionary luxury fashion designer who merges fine art, timeless fashion, and sustainability with a profound commitment to social good. Through her signature concept, Alesia C. Art-A-Porte, she transforms her original paintings into luxurious silk garments, creating wearable art that tells powerful stories. From eco-conscious outerwear made of virgin wool and cashmere to elegant silk dresses and accessories, every collection is designed and produced in the USA, supporting local craftsmanship while revitalizing American manufacturing.

ELEGANCE IS KEY FROM ALL DOORS

Driven by a passion to bring U.S. manufacturing back to life, Alesia creates patterns, sources fabric, and ensures each piece is produced in the USA, infusing it with soul and purpose. Beyond fashion, she is deeply committed to educating others about disappearing animals, plants, and the Earth crisis, fostering awareness through exclusive patterns, stories, and community workshops that connect people with art, design, and sustainability.

Alesia Chaika Show at the Museum of contemporary art of chicago

At its core, Alesia C. Art-A-Porte is more than just fashion—it’s an immersive experience. Every six months, Alesia introduces new collections inspired by her artwork. Models walk the runway holding the original paintings, wearing garments brought to life by the art itself. These fashion shows merge runway and art exhibition, offering an experience that promotes both fine art and sustainable fashion. Through partnerships with art galleries and non-profit organizations, Alesia uses these shows to raise awareness about the Earth crisis, championing Elegance as the key to all doors, a symbol of strength, confidence, and refinement.

Art Meets Fashion - The Revolution

I take my artwork, those intimate moments of creativity, and infuse them into 100% silk fabrics. From the heart of my atelier, I weave the elegance of silk scarves to the comfort of resort wear line, custom and bespoke bridal gowns, luxury ready-to-wear and wool outerwear. Each piece one-of-a-kind, just like you. Imagine wearing not just a scarf, dress, or coat, but an experience, a story, a piece of me, meticulously designed and crafted at Alesia C. atelier in Lake Forest, Illinois USA. 

Silk meets artistry

Through Art-A-Porte, Alesia brings art out of the gallery and into everyday life. Each collection is a dynamic fusion of fashion and fine art. These fashion shows are more than just runways—they are living art exhibitions. Alesia partners with galleries and non-profit organizations to raise awareness about environmental issues while promoting timeless, sustainable fashion. Each event reinforces Elegance as the key to all doors, a symbol of grace and strength. Discover Alesia Chaika Art-APorte ™ style.
