“Ukrainian Fashion Week is experiencing the most difficult season in its 25 years of existence. We did everything so that the designers of Ukraine would not lose it. Ten Fashion Weeks hosted Ukrainian designers. And this is only within the framework of the “Support Ukrainian Fashion” Initiative from Ukrainian Fashion Week. There were also shows of our designers in New York, Milan, Paris… In this tragic time for Ukraine and the whole world, fashion demonstrates not only diversity, inclusiveness, sustainability and freedom. Fashion demonstrates solidarity and commitment to humanistic and democratic values. Thank you to all colleagues for supporting Ukraine!” – Iryna Danylevska, founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week.

The 51st season of Ukrainian Fashion Week became international. Shows and presentations of Ukrainian designers have already taken place at Malta Fashion Week, Copenhagen Fashion Week, Budapest Central European Fashion Week, Berlin Fashion Week, Transilvania Fashion Festival, Vienna Fashion Week and MBFW Madrid. A new and important collaboration with Brussels Fashion Week will soon take place, followed by the presentation of collections by Ukrainian designers during Vegan Fashion Week in Los Angeles, which will be the final event of the longest UFW International Season SS23.

The participation of 11 designers from Ukraine is supported by the EBRD and funded by Switzerland through the EBRD’s Small Business Impact Fund (donors to the SBIF are Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Sweden, Switzerland, the USA, TaiwanBusiness – EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund and Norway).
