The event is being held in an in-person format for the first time in 2 years

Ukrainian Fashion Week is back for the first time in two years. The fashion event of the year opened on Sunday, September 1, in Kyiv and continued until September 4, 2024. The spring/summer 2025 collections will be presented at various catwalks and presentations.

Ukrainian Fashion Week is a major fashion forum that has been supporting young and emerging designers at the beginning of their careers for the past 27 years.

One of the famous people and artists, the actress and princess of Belgium, Isabella Orsini, gives her support to Ukrainian designers.

“Fashion is more than just clothing, it is a language that transcends borders. Ukrainian Fashion Week embraces these global trends, positioning Ukraine firmly on the international stage,” said Orsini, quoted by the event’s official page on social networks.

Barbadian beauty and R&B diva Rihanna also trusts Ukrainian talents. The singer chose a voluminous brown scarf by the designer Ruslan Baginski for an advertising photo shoot of her cosmetics brand.

Madonna, Beyoncé, as well as representatives of the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla, also trust the taste of stylist Baginsky.

 “We are firmly convinced that without the creativity of our designers it is impossible to imagine the essence of modern Ukraine. Our mission is to demonstrate creative power and Ukrainian resilience to the world, support the country’s fashion industry and inspire young artists who are just starting their journey to continue creating. It is important for a new talented generation to have a future in Ukraine,” the founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week, Irina Danilevska, told the event’s official website.

“Our endurance is a testimony to the strength and indomitable spirit of Ukrainian designers,” adds Danilevska.

This season, some of the most famous Ukrainian designers who continue to work, despite all the challenges, will have a field of expression. Among them are Kseniaschnaide, Frolov and Gunia Project, as well as a number of upcoming designers.

The fashion forum began with the participants of the New Names SS25 platform, who, together with their models, proudly walked through the heart of Kyiv, culminating on the steps of the Ukrainian House on the European Square.

Among the participants in New Names SS25 are the finalists from the “LOOK INTO THE FUTURE” competition, who presented their collections during the Fashion Week in Berlin: Veronika Daniliv, Maria Dobrova, Anastasia Naumenko, Aliona Prodan, Elizaveta Kostenko.

One of the designers in the program will receive an award from the United For Freedom charitable foundation of the entrepreneur and influencer Irina Adonina. This grant will support the winner in creating their next collection or developing an existing product.

“I hope that with the help of our award, everyone in the fashion world will hear about Ukrainian talents,” says the founder of the charity fund “United for Freedom” Irina Adonina.

Among the innovations this year is the “Open Shooting” format — a photo session with the collections of young designers, open to journalists, stylists and fashion activists.
