Daria Mikhailiuk is a creative director, choreographer and stylist working across commercial campaigns, stage, film and editorial projects.
With a background in dance and art history, her visual language is rooted in movement and research. She works intuitively with form, drawing out the sculptural potential of costume, gesture and space, weaving together diverse elements into a cohesive, moving narrative.
Collaborating closely with artists, brands and performers, Daria creates imagery that feels both constructed and alive, bridging artistic expression with commercial clarity. Her editorial work has appeared in Schön!, Sicky, Glitch, Vogue Italia, Nowness, Montecristo and REVS, and brand collaborations include Bocci, Fluevog, Sangre de Fruta, Social Studies Shop, State of Underdress, One Of a Few, Nathalee Paolinelli and Delsey Paris.
She has worked with photographers such as Carl Ostberg, Ryan Voigt, Gabriel Cabrera, Luciana Moreno, Fahim Kassam, Mackenzie Walker, Katrin Braga, Jennilee Marigomen, Sophia Baboolal, Felix Yuen, Nanne Springer, Marcus Erickson and Brendan Meadows. Her independent projects have been presented by Kinosaki International Arts Centre, PuSh Festival, Yokohama Dance Collection and MANA Contemporary.
Before transitioning into creative direction, Daria had an extensive stage career, performing and touring internationally with companies including Corporeal Imago, Wen Wei Dance, Vision Impure, FakeKnot, Kinesis Dance Somatheatro, Ne. Sans Opera and Dance, Inverso Productions, Dance//Novella, MascallDance, Furious Grace Dance Theatre and Hiroaki Umeda.
