Stella Polare

Art of joy to live.
Stella Polare is a French-Uzbek artistic house founded by artist Khulkar Yunusova. At the crossroads of contemporary art, textile, design, and ritual gesture, the brand creates wearable works of art—objects meant not only to be worn, but to be lived. At the heart of Stella Polare lies a singular concept: vitaculture. A philosophy of creation that embraces the urgency of joy as a conscious, aesthetic, and existential act. Here, beauty is not decorative—it is vital, intentional, and embodied. Each scarf and textile piece is conceived as a standalone artwork. Every drawing emerges from an artistic practice rooted in memory, the feminine body, motherhood, the dialogue between East and West, vulnerability, and resilience. Wearing Stella Polare means carrying a story, a symbol, an inner orientation. With a background in economics and years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry—particularly in pediatric oncology—Khulkar Yunusova brings a rare vision of luxury: a luxury of meaning. Shaped by encounters with children facing life at its limits, her work affirms a powerful belief: 
 

joy is a form of resistance,

and living is a conscious act.

The name Stella Polare—the North Star—embodies this inner compass. It guides each collection toward what truly matters: creating pieces that accompany life through its cycles and transformations. Works designed to endure time, seasons, and emotions. Stella Polare speaks to those who seek more than an accessory: a sign, a refuge, a gentle force to wear close to the body.
