A city that never rests, vast and boundless, once again serves as a source of inspiration for the designer duo Olena Vorozhbyt and Tetyana Zemskova. Staying true to their signature aesthetic of graphic precision and constructivism, they present the new FW25-26 collection—an embodiment of the urban space’s dynamism and its perpetual transformation through the seasons.

The cyclicality of nature overlays the city’s geometry, creating a multilayered narrative that unfolds in fabrics, silhouettes, and colors. From snow-covered streets in icy steel tones to the fresh explosion of spring, enveloping the city in greenery and the fragrance of blooming flowers. The summer sun transforms the palette into saturated orange reflections, playing on glass facades, while autumn wraps the city in golden foliage, complemented by deep, warm hues and the subtle aroma of rain and coffee.

These emotions and impressions are what Tetyana and Olena have translated into their collection, striking a balance between creativity and pragmatism, lightness and strength, vibrancy and restraint. The color palette is based on delicate neutral tones—beige, pastel pink, and creamy caramel—which gradually deepen into rich green, honey yellow, burgundy, and noble violet. This refined contrast highlights the softness of the base tones and adds depth to the collection.

Textures and materials reveal the season’s concept: delicate silk meets dense wool and viscose, crinkled chiffon blends with cupro, while faux suede and leather, like autumn’s artifacts, enhance the smoothness of other fabrics.

Contrasts are also evident in the silhouettes. Voluminous woolen jackets with strong shoulders coexist with weightless chiffon dresses, while draped viscose suits harmoniously combine transparency and density, strictness and softness. The architectural nature of the designs is accentuated by bold details: oversized pockets, metal hardware, and deep pleats on thick fabrics.
