La Spilla

The La Spilla collection, presented at Ukrainian Fashion Week FW25-26, seamlessly blended everyday wear with exquisite evening gowns. With a focus on intricate details and high-quality materials, the collection struck a balance between refined classics and contemporary fashion trends.

A particular highlight was the innovative La Spilla Skin bodysuits, introducing a new approach to essential wardrobe pieces. Made from lightweight, soft-touch fabric, these bodysuits became the foundation for any look. Semi-transparent, with barely visible inscriptions on the body, they created a tattoo-like effect, literally becoming a “second skin.” Available in various colors, they effortlessly paired with other elements of the collection.

“We aimed to introduce a new style to the Ukrainian market, as no one has created bodysuits like these before. La Spilla Skin is our signature design element that highlights the uniqueness of the brand,” noted Sofiia.

Certain pieces in the collection contained references to the heroic struggle of Ukrainians against Russian aggression. Notably, headpieces symbolized the courage and resilience of Ukrainians in their fight for independence. *”It was important for us to convey the fusion of Ukrainian and European culture, to showcase our roots through the lens of modern trends. *The La Spilla collection is more than just clothing—it is a story of strength, resilience, and the beauty of Ukrainian women,” emphasized the designer.

Shev Studios

Shev Studios is a young Ukrainian upcycling clothing brand. Each product is handmade from old pairs of jeans. We find, recycle, and give things a second life.

The collection “make russians cry” is inspired by the indomitability of the Ukrainian people — a nation that finds the strength to create, restore, and win even in the darkest times. The collection reinterprets denim, transforming it from a utilitarian material into a symbol of struggle, freedom, and resilience. The main products of the collection include a blazer, jeans, corsets, an asymmetrical dress, and skirts.

The central phrase, “Make Russians cry,” is not just a slogan but a symbol of light breaking through the darkness, reminding us of the strength of spirit and hope. The phrase is applied to the products by rhinestone print on T-shirts, tank tops, and a shopper – symbolizing the light that appears after dark times.

The upcycling technique is a metaphor for the Ukrainian spirit: from the old, we create the new, and from the destroyed, the future.

Kate Brilliant

The Ukrainian brand Kate Brilliant, renowned for its unique design approach and artisanal craftsmanship, unveiled its latest collection, “Deadly Sins”, at Ukrainian Fashion Week. This collection delves deeply into human nature through the lens of the seven deadly sins, which, according to biblical canon, remain timeless symbols of human flaws.

The designer, Kateryna, drew inspiration from Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy” and masterpieces by Hieronymus Bosch (“The Seven Deadly Sins”) and Peter Paul Rubens (“The Fall of the Damned”). This concept has been maturing in Kateryna’s imagination for several years, with the initial sketches created before the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine. The collection reinterprets these early ideas, enriched by the imagery of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, merging Christian symbolism with modern aesthetics and the realities of today.

Each piece in the collection represents one of the seven deadly sins, embodied through dresses and tops that are part of the DNA of the Kate Brilliant brand. The use of liquid-like materials, avant-garde designs, and meticulous attention to detail allows each creation to tell its own story while preserving the authenticity, boldness, sensuality, and emotional depth that defines the brand.

The “Deadly Sins” collection is a philosophical manifesto that challenges perceptions of human vices and serves as a poignant reminder of their enduring presence in our lives. Kate Brilliant invites you to immerse yourself in this unique realm, where beauty and sin coexist in perfect harmony.

Spokiy by E.17.Project

The “Spokii” collection is a personal expression of harmony and comfort, created by designer Nastia Spokii. It tells a story about the importance of finding inner balance without conforming to external expectations. This clothing embodies freedom, confidence, and true style—when you feel completely at ease.

The core idea of the collection is that clothing should be an extension of one’s personality, reflecting inner harmony. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail, materials, and form, as the creation process is part of the experience of comfort and tranquility.

Nastia Spokii incorporates upcycled materials, giving fabrics a second life. This is not just an eco-friendly approach but a symbol of transformation—where something old gains new meaning. Lightweight organza conveys a sense of weightlessness, technical outerwear fabric adds structure and strength, textured fabrics create depth, while the combination of leather and shirting materials symbolizes the balance between softness and confidence.

The “Spokii” collection is more than just clothing—it is a journey toward harmony, with each piece telling its own story, yet together they form a unified concept of freedom and balance. Its essence is reflected through models with unconventional appearances, emphasizing the idea of self-expression. The collection’s name embodies the designer’s transformation and her pursuit of true serenity.

ATLAN.TYDA

The collection “My Jewelries Are Crimson” is presented by the ATLAN.TYDA project, aimed at exploring the interaction between fashion, art, and cultural forms.

The collection examines the idea of the body as the ultimate art form, questioning conventional boundaries between internal and external, hidden and visible. Transparent fabrics, layers of tulle, silicone textures, and faux fur are complemented by intricate handcrafted details, where artisanal craftsmanship merges with conceptual design. Stylized graphics of anatomical elements—lungs, heart, vessels, muscle tissues, or skeleton—are embodied in hand-crafted decorative features. Embroidery follows anatomical contours, balancing abstract motifs and academic illustration, creating complex textures.

Each look declares that our body already possesses its unique form, texture, and meaning, being a perfectly composed creation—immensely complex and fragile at the same time.
