From February 14 to 17, Ukrainian Fashion Week FW25-26 took place in Kyiv – the first February edition and the second season since the start of the full-scale war. It was held under the motto Hope for the Future.

A longstanding platform for emerging talents, Ukrainian Fashion Week dedicated special attention and efforts to supporting young designers this season, as they represent the future of the Ukrainian fashion industry.

Amid the realities of war, Ukrainian Fashion Week continues to address the issue of inclusivity in fashion. This season, the team launched the “Clothing with a Function” Program, which aims to ensure access to stylish, comfortable, and functional clothing for veterans and civilians with disabilities caused by war.

The event’s charitable mission remains an integral component. As part of the “Faces of Heroes” initiative, Ukrainian brands raised over one million UAH to fund reconstructive surgeries for veterans with mine-explosion facial injuries.

Ukrainian Fashion Week FW25-26 once again caught the attention of international media, highlighting the talent of Ukrainian designers and the event’s important social initiatives. With over 2@ features inсluding Vogue.com, BOF, WWD, The Times, BBC, SHOWstudio and many others, Ukrainian fashion industry is making its voice heard on the global stage.
