Oyunbileg

Born 1975 in Ulaanbaatar, 1997 diploma at the Institute for Design and Arts "Setgemj", 1997–2004 designer at the "Gobi" company, participation at "Goyol 2002" and "Goyol 2003", since 2005 free-lance woollens designer for various manufactories in Mongolia.

Oyunbileg has specialised on products of cashmere. Having studied at the state-run wool factory "Gobi", which employs a staff of designers and produces for the international market, also for German trade chains, she has had the benefit of a solid training in handicraft. However, since her abounding creativity wasn’t called for at "Gobi", she set up for herself as a free-lance designer.

Oyunbileg loves references to traditional costumes, translating them into bordures or clasps, into simple wraparound cuts, but she also improvises with international brands such as Adidas. Her openness concerning the materials also manifests itself in her designs for evening and cocktail gowns. Unlike most of her female Mongolian colleagues she also designs men's fashion, orienting herself by rather classical models. For the exhibition, Oyunbileg has designed five creations, which are currently in production.
