SOLOMIIAHRYNKIV — the eponymous Ukrainian clothing brand by Solomiia Hrynkiv, announces the launch of the “Gauze” SS26 collection as part of Ukrainian Fashion Week. It speaks about the value of imperfection, about vulnerability and strength.

The new line consists of 12 looks created through destruction, dyeing, and experiments with form. The garments appear as if stripped from the body, aged, dirtied, preserved after ruin. Rich in texture, with tears, uneven edges, merging the vulnerability of skin with the strength of armor.”

The main material is gauze, which gave the collection its name — “Gauze.” It carries both a literal and a metaphorical meaning: something fragile, unprotected, temporary.

The collection was created intuitively, without a script . It is a story about matter that preserves traces of touch, fabrics that remember, colors born in process, and forms where chance becomes the main tool.

“Beauty lies in uniqueness, imperfection is the main resource: imperfection as a value.”

The brand was founded in September 2024, after graduating from the School of Art x Craft and participation in the “New Names” contest as part of Ukrainian Fashion Week.
