The purpose of the article is to define the metamorphosis in Ukrainian ornamentation based on the principles of gradualism and punctualism, which allows us to determine the evolutionary gradual approach due to mimesis and the discrete approach according to poiesis. The research methodology is based on the methods of semiotic and epistemological analysis, system-analytical and comparative-historical methods. The semiotic and epistemological method has been used to determine the philosophical meaning of the symbols of the Ukrainian ornamentation patterns. System-analytical method has been applied to systematise changes used in materials, technique, ornament, and compositional and coloristic solution in the design of Ukrainian ornament in the ethno-contact zone of the SlavicRomansh borderland. The comparative-historical method has been used to specify the areas of Ukrainian ornamentation in the historical retrospect of the 20th century on the Slavic-Romance borderland of Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the research occurs in a certain metamorphosis in Ukrainian ornamentation based on the principles of gradualism and punctuality; justification of the factors of artistic integrity of embroidery by ethnographic regions. Conclusions. It was established that the design of Ukrainian ornamentation in the context of the ethnographic development of the ethnic border regions of Ukraine evolved according to the principles of gradualism and punctuality. The evolution of the formation of the subject environment is particularly noticeable in Ukrainian ornamentation and its motifs, which is also due to their sacred meaning, laid down by master embroiderers. It is shown that metamorphoses in Ukrainian ornamentation on the Slavic-Ukrainian borderland in the ethnoregions of Bukovyna, Eastern Podillia, Budjak and Bessarabia took place as a result of mimesis due to the imitation of traditions in embroidery and under the influence of poiesis due to the creativity and innovation of embroiderers in changes in the technique of processing materials, colour scheme, and compositions. The conducted comparative analysis of the ornaments of ethnographic areas reproduced the features of their sacred content with the aim of encoding the foundations and laws of existence in the universe and the preserved code of the Ukrainian nation.
