Ukrainian designers have been known around the world for a long time, but since last year, Ukrainian fashion has been going through a renaissance. Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, the Hadid sisters, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, and many other celebrities choose to wear Ukrainian designers, showing their support for Ukraine and Ukrainian artists. A special feature of the evening is the defile of models. These Ukrainian and Luxembourgish women, despite being non-professionals, will walk on the runway together wearing clothes from Ukrainian designers. This is meant to show that Ukrainian design and motifs can be an organic part of every woman’s daily wardrobe.
