For the FW25-26 season, Ukrainian Fashion Week proudly announces the launch of a new charitable initiative, “Faces of Heroes” – a project dedicated to supporting and rehabilitating individuals with mine-explosive facial injuries. As a gesture of gratitude for the donations, everyone will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Ukrainian Fashion Week and receive invitations to their favorite brand’s fashion shows.

“Charity has become an integral part of Ukrainian Fashion Week during the full-scale war. This season, we’ve chosen to focus on supporting defenders with facial injuries caused by explosions. Every designer and guest will have the chance to contribute to the treatment and rehabilitation of specific defenders. We aim to show that fashion is not only an integral part of culture but also a driver of societal change, actively responding to the challenges of our time,”says Iryna Danylevska, Founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week.

How to participate in the “Faces of Heroes” initiative and receive an invitation to a fashion show:

1. Follow the link: Complete the form.
2. Donate a minimum of 2,500 UAH via Monobank.
3. Select the show you’d like to attend and provide your contact information.
4. The Ukrainian Fashion Week team will contact you to send your e-invitation.

Guests can also contribute to the project at the main location in Mystetskyi Arsenal using QR codes or by following the direct donation link: Join the Initiative.

The project is being implemented under the Memorandum of Cooperation between Ukrainian Fashion Week and the YANKO Charitable Foundation.

Last season, the Ukrainian Fashion Week and fashion community set an ambitious goal: raising funds to equip the palliative care unit of the Svyatenko Rehabilitation Clinic (Tsibly, Kyiv region). Thanks to the joint efforts of designers, partners and guests, an impressive 4,057,621 UAH was raised. The YANKO Charitable Foundation coordinated the fundraising and equipment procurement.

Ukrainian Fashion Week invites designers, partners and guests to unite once again and support the FW25-26 “Faces of Heroes” initiative. Together, we can make a difference.
