The story

Ukrainian Fashion Week in Kyiv

Ukrainian Fashion Week is the country's flagship runway event, held at Kyiv's Mystetskyi Arsenal since 1997. Founded by magazine editor Irina Danilevskaya, it showcases established and emerging Ukrainian designers, and after wartime disruption forced editions abroad, returned to Kyiv in 2024 with brands including Frolov.

Ukrainian Fashion Week traces back to 1997, when designer Sergei Bizov approached Irina Danilevskaya, then editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Eva, about creating a Ukrainian answer to London Fashion Week.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Ukrainian Fashion Week began as a ready-to-wear show called Fashion Seasons in 1997, inspired by London Fashion Week, before renaming itself in 2005 to explicitly represent Ukrainian design on an international stage and invite foreign press

02

The mystery stays covered

Its most striking chapter came after Russia's full-scale invasion, when the event could no longer safely run in Kyiv and instead traveled abroad as Support Ukrainian Fashion, staging showcases in London, Paris, and Copenhagen to keep Ukrainian designers visible to international buyers during the war

03

The city starts moving

The 2024 return to Kyiv, its first domestic edition since the invasion, featured more than fifty Ukrainian brands, signaling a fragile but real restart of runway fashion inside the country

What moves first
