Ukrainian Fashion Week comes back to Kyiv
More than two years after the start of Russia’s full-scale
invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian Fashion Week will once again take place in Kyiv,
organizing committee of Ukrainian Fashion Week announced on June 10.
After four International Seasons, which took place on the
catwalks of UFW’s international partners in London, Copenhagen, Los Angeles,
Lisbon, Berlin and other cities as part of Support Ukrainian Fashion
initiative, 55th UFW season will be held in Kyiv on September 1-4.
“Our resilience is a testament to the strength of fashion
industry, solidarity and indomitable spirit of Ukrainian designers,” said Iryna
Danylevska, co-founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week.
“We firmly believe that without creativity of our designers
it is impossible to imagine the essence of Ukraine. Our mission is to
demonstrate our creative power and Ukrainian resilience to the world. That’s
why we decided to bring Ukrainian Fashion Week back to Kyiv to support country’s
fashion industry and inspire people. Despite the missile attacks, air raid
warnings and daily challenges, we have to create and develop. And the voice of
Ukraine must be heard.”
In addition, Ukrainian Fashion Week will also continue to
implement International Seasons format as part of the Support Ukrainian Fashion
Initiative, thanks to which Ukrainian designers will present collections in
Berlin, Copenhagen, Budapest and other European fashion capitals this season.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
