UFW FW26-27 Season Highlights

The official schedule will be announced in January.
The upcoming season of Ukrainian Fashion Week FW26–27 will be dedicated to innovation and sustainable approaches developed under exceptionally challenging conditions.
For 29 years, Ukrainian Fashion Week has been a leading institution representing the Ukrainian fashion industry nationally and internationally. It supports designers from their debut collections to global recognition, nurtures a professional ecosystem, and strengthens cultural diplomacy. Despite the challenges of the full-scale war, Ukrainian designers continue to demonstrate resilience and innovation as well as shaping new approaches within the global fashion landscape.
“We are proud that this season brings together brands that have been part of Ukrainian Fashion Week since our first edition in 1997, alongside designers who debuted this September within the New Names program. This reflects continuity, longevity, and the strength of our creative community, which continues to grow despite the challenges.
In the new season, we want to showcase how Ukrainian designers are shaping the future of fashion through responsible production, technological methods, and sustainable solutions — even in wartime. These are unique cases that can inspire the world,” — says Iryna Danylevska, Founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week.
As part of the Art of Fashion: Sustainable Innovations exhibition, 10 Ukrainian brands will present forward-looking sustainable solutions in fashion from upcycling and recycling to zero-waste methods and responsible material sourcing. The exhibition will be held on February 6–8 at the Mystetskyi Arsenal, featuring looks by KSENIASCHNAIDER, TG Botanical, NADYA DZYAK, PLNGNS, J’AMEMME, and others.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the charitable component has become an integral part of Ukrainian Fashion Week. This season, the team continues the “Faces of Heroes” Initiative — a project aimed at helping Ukrainian defenders with mine-blast facial injuries. Its mission is to provide reconstructive surgeries that not only restore appearance but also give the chance for a dignified and fulfilling life. The project is implemented under a Memorandum of Cooperation between Ukrainian Fashion Week and the YANKO Charitable Foundation.
