Kyiv Fashion Week 2025

A Personal Journey: From Kyiv Fashion Week to Munich’s Sustainable Runway

As I write this, my heart is filled with pride and gratitude. This past week, my daughter and I had the incredible opportunity to attend Kyiv Fashion Week together. It wasn’t just an event; it was a celebration of everything I’ve worked for and the legacy I’ve dreamed of passing on to the next generation.

For years, I’ve poured my soul into Anna’s Fashion Factory, turning ideas into reality and helping designers bring their visions to life. To now see those same designers invite me and my daughter to such a prestigious event is a moment I’ll never forget. Watching her wear one of her own designs—a piece that beautifully reflects her talent and the skills passed down through generations of our family—was the highlight of the evening.

Watching My Daughter’s Journey Take Flight

My daughter is currently studying fashion design at a university in Kyiv, and every step she takes reminds me of why I fell in love with this industry. Fashion has always been more than just fabric and sewing to us; it’s a way of expressing ourselves, honoring tradition, and shaping the future.

At Kyiv Fashion Week, I saw her confidence shine. She’s taken the values and techniques I’ve taught her and added her own unique creativity and vision. It’s incredible to see how she’s blending innovation with a deep respect for the art of design.

And now, her journey is taking her to Munich. She’ll be participating in a fashion show with a theme close to both of our hearts: recycling and sustainable design. Knowing that she’ll be showcasing a collection inspired by eco-consciousness makes me so proud. It’s a sign that she’s not just talented but also mindful of the responsibility we have as designers to create a better, more sustainable world.

A Legacy Woven Through Generations

Fashion has always been a family affair for us. The women in our family have spent generations immersed in this world—designing, sewing, and dreaming. It’s a legacy that shaped who I am today and one that I’ve worked hard to pass on to my daughter. Seeing her embrace it, refine it, and make it her own fills me with so much joy.

At Anna’s Fashion Factory, I’ve always believed in nurturing creativity, whether it’s through helping designers bring their visions to life or encouraging my daughter to find her own voice in this industry. And seeing her take her first steps toward what I know will be a bright future is proof that all the hard work is worth it.

Looking Ahead to the Future

As we prepare for Munich, I can’t help but reflect on how far we’ve come and dream about where we’re going. Fashion Week was just the beginning for my daughter. I know she has the potential to become one of the great names in this industry, and I couldn’t be more excited to see her grow and thrive.

For me, this journey is about more than just fashion. It’s about family, tradition, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Watching my daughter step into her own as a designer feels like the start of something truly magical—for her, for our family, and for the future of fashion.

With love and gratitude,Anna
