VIKTORANISIMOV makes Berlin Fashion Week debut

For the first time, Ukrainian brand VIKTORANISIMOV presented its collection at Berlin Fashion Week SS26. The show was held at The Feuerle Collection, a private art museum founded by Désiré Feuerle and Sara Puig, housed in a former Second World War telecommunications bunker in Berlin.

The collection is inspired by the designer’s recent work on a capsule wardrobe for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a figure under global scrutiny. Several silhouettes — most notably uniform-style jackets — are integrated into the collection with minimal adaptation.

The central image is a figure in black, standing amid the ruins of a building destroyed by a missile. This is not a dramatic gesture, but a quiet recording of the present condition. Black here is not a stylistic choice, but a language of reality. And yet, the collection leaves space for hope — a belief in a future that grows from ashes.

The collection includes 36 looks, built on principles of layering, transformation, and architectural precision. Signature elements include wrap shirts, long tunics with open hems, crop tops, and transformable shorts that turn into skirts in motion. Cargo trousers with voluminous pockets and leggings add to the utilitarian rhythm. Main materials — linen and linen-viscose blends — evoke the texture of medical gauze and bandages, referencing both physical and emotional recovery.

The show’s original score was composed by Vitalii Telesin, a Ukrainian composer known for collaborations with leading performers. His music shapes a space of silence, movement, and tension.

Berlin — with its directness, openness, and capacity to hold complexity — resonates deeply with the design language of VIKTORANISIMOV.
