Uliana Nedoshytko, Olga De NoGGa, Litvinenko-Kobzar, Nastya Sukhanova were announced among the new names of Ukrainian Fashion Week. A seminar by fashion photographer Masha Ru (Netherlands) took place.

Lilia Pustovit opened the Ukrainian Fashion Week, the traditions and culture of the African Masai tribe (Kenya) became the inspiration and basis of her collection. Lilia Pustovit's collection consisted of many dresses adorned with a Masai pattern, some of which combined similar patterns with lace. In addition to dresses, there were also coats - a plaid coat, a bright crimson coat.

The KamenskayaKononova collection was dominated by black, white and a bright accent - red colors. The collection itself was distinguished by simplicity of forms, laconism and special, Parisian in spirit, style.

Trousers, skirts, dresses, coats plus a classic combination of black and white colors were presented in the collection of designer Lilia Litkovskaya. Not without the yellow and orange colors so popular this season.

Liudmyla KOMARDINA presented a collection that is truly geometric, but only full of combinations of irregular shapes. A black dress made of translucent fabric, light, but in combination with very massive shoes, trousers, trousers, for some reason evoke an association with something primordially Ukrainian: the Cossacks, Zaporozhye, Bohdan Khmelnitsky. But now women wear such modernized Cossack trousers. Careless, high, as if from stuck together, tangled hair hairstyles. Such hairstyles, it seems, could have been among the Indians, among some ancient tribes. To match the hairstyles, the same primitive, there was makeup: black and gray stripes, and it seems that such "marks" on faces could well have been applied by ancient hunters in honor of a successfully caught mammoth.

Fyodor Vozianov's collection was minimalistic. She borrowed a lot from the style of English riders, and the heads of the models were decorated with hairstyles in the form of feathers constructed from hair.

In the collection of Yulia Aisina there were many white and red, monochromatic red suits, monochromatic white suits. But there were also combinations of a white top: a skirt, a jacket and a red bottom: shoes, tights. However, the colors of the Ukrainian collections, as well as many of the Milanese, London, and Parisian collections, were distinguished by an abundance of black, gray and white, with a bright orange-yellow or red accent.

Ksenia KIREEVA. Ksenia Kireeva in her collection tried to combine the natural with the urban, urban. The designer used only natural fabrics, the colors of the collection were also as close to natural as possible - cherry, charcoal, marsh green, ocher, sand.

In the ANISIMOV collection, zebra dresses with black and white stripes, a yellow dress with large black polka dots were presented. Men's suits with yellow vests or yellow shirts.

But the ANDRE TAN collection was full of combinations of black and dark blue with white stripes, with white wide stripes, sometimes on the collars. The models of this collection resembled schoolgirls of theological seminaries and nuns, but at the same time they were very exaggerated, as if the author, based on such images, changed, transformed them to the realities of a fantastic future.
