The new TG Botanical Autumn-Winter 2024 collection is inspired by a concept of “māteria”, which the designer considers to be the only objective reality possible — the one we can sense. This season Tetyana Chumak seeks for inspiration in natural textures, which form the māteria of our being.
The collection refers to the various surfaces of the earth — the soil, the field as seen from a bird view, and the volcanic desert. The designer tries to recreate them in the collection with various materials, using distinctive trimming methods, such as quilting, distressing, and stitching with elastic threads. These methods help the designer to make each garment more tactile and interactive in terms of the wearer’s senses.
The collection consists of easy-to-wear separates, textured knits, bustier dresses, and more. The color palette is neutral with an emphasis on earthy hues — khaki, graphite, volcanic gray — and a bright splash of light green.

TG Botanical introduces the very first collaboration with Dasha Tsapenko’s bio-atelier in the AW24 collection. Artist Dasha Tsapenko made a unique selection of knitted styles made of natural plant-based yarn and inoculated with spores of polypore fungus. This project is a manifest of collaboration and co-creation in its broadest sense: between brands (TG Botanical x Atelier Dasha Tsapenko), disciplines, countries and between species (human x fungi).
TG Botanical AW24 collection is an expression of the unique primal energy hidden in earth — the giving and taking source of life on the planet. With the new collection the designer Tetyana Chumak wants to remind us that we are all māteria and it can be as dark as it can be celestial.
