This time the finalists will present collections inspired by the mystical fall of Bohdan and Varvary Khanenki – prominent Ukrainian collectors and benefactors of the end of the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century. The curator of the ten finalists was Ivan Frolov, whose mission was to conserve the creative impulses of the contestants with a direct winning result.

“We are holding an All-Ukrainian competition of young designers for 25 years, recognizing our credibility in front of the fashion industry and the country. It is extremely important to encourage the new generation of designers, such as develop, practice and create the future of Ukraine,” shared Irina Danilevska, co-founder and CEO of Ukrainian Fashion Week.

“The Look of the Future” is an important concept for the Ukrainian fashion industry, since for the past 25 years the Ukrainian Fashion Week team has been promoting young talented designers who are at the forefront of Ukrainian fashion in Ukraine and on international comparison. Therefore, we are deprived of the opportunity to welcome opportunities and encourage young talents in the future.
