Modern Ukrainian fashion design

Ukrainian fashion design obeys the rules of conduct accepted in the world. We should be rejoiced over the fact that Ukrainian fashion designers create new collections and that they have enough customers.

Of course, Chanel, Lacrois, Lagerfeld, Gucci and others will remain popular with Ukrainian fashionable women for quite some time to come. But Ukrainian fashion designers have started to be competetive. The dresses they design and make are of a very high quality. Besides, they have one important advantage: they are much more affordable.

Creations of Lilia Pustovit belong to the so-called conceptual vogue that unites designers from various European countries. At the same time being national and cosmopolitan, her collections are known there even better than in Ukraine.

The original style of Victor Anisimov is well known not only in Ukraine but also in Europe. As a master of collection-performance, he became the “calling card” of the Ukrainian fashion.

Diana Dorozhkina is a designer that makes her masterpieces of fur and leather. From year to year, the collections of Diana emerge as demonstration of new textiles, colour spectrum and classic dress particulars renovated. In her collection, leather is combined with silk, chiffon and plaiting; corset has become her distinguishing feature.

Igor Senin designs and makes footwear that is a joy to look at and to wear. All creations of our Ukrainian designers are of superior quality and perfect design.

Quite a few prominent figures in Ukrainian show business, politics and business now prefer to buy their clothes from Ukrainian fashion designers rather than foreign ones. It is a very promising tendency. The very fact that to wear things designed and made in Ukraine becomes prestigious. Ukrainian designers open their own boutiques and stores and it is a pleasure to walk in, have a good look around and to buy something.
