by Adriano Batista
Ukrainian Fashion Week FW25-26 is set to take place in Kyiv from February 14th to 17th, giving a powerful message of hope and resilience. Over 40 Ukrainian brands, including well-known names like FROLOV and up-and-coming designers, will present their collections.

“Ukrainian Fashion Week is more than a platform for innovation and creativity. Fashion is an integral part of national culture that shapes our common vision of the future, and the Ukrainian fashion community has joined the voices of the nation fighting for its freedom and identity,” says Iryna Danylevska, Founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week.
The event will also be fully virtual, thanks to a partnership with VLGE.COM, allowing people from around the world to explore the digital Mystetskyi Arsenal and see Ukrainian designers’ work. It’s a great way to connect with the global fashion community, despite the war’s challenges.
Ukrainian Fashion Week is also focused on the future. The NewGen Lab offers resources, mentorship, and workshops for emerging designers, helping to nurture the next generation of Ukrainian fashion talent.
The trade show from last season is back, providing a platform for brands to connect with buyers and boost domestic growth. Even amidst conflict, the Ukrainian fashion industry continues to innovate and adapt.
Additionally, Ukrainian Fashion Week is partnering with “Doctors for Heroes” to support soldiers with severe facial injuries, offering them not just physical reconstruction but also renewed confidence. This project highlights the transformative power of fashion.
