My Journey to Ukrainian Fashion Week: Celebrating Ukrainian Fashion's Resilience

Fashion Kyiv

I am deeply honored to share that I've been personally invited to attend Ukrainian Fashion Week FW25-26 by several designers whom I've had the privilege of working with at Anna Fashion Factory. This special invitation to attend UFW (February 8-11) at PMHUB in Kyiv means so much to me, especially during these challenging times.

## A Personal Invitation

When I received calls from some of our long-term designer clients inviting me to attend their shows, I was touched. Over the years, our atelier in Poltava has helped bring their visions to life, and now they want me to see their latest collections unveiled on the runway. As one designer told me, "Anna, you're not just our manufacturer; you're part of our creative journey."

## What This Means to Me

After 20 years of working behind the scenes in Poltava, creating garments for various designers, this invitation feels like a beautiful recognition of our team's dedication. While I usually experience fashion shows through the garments we craft, this time I'll be there in person, watching pieces we've helped create move down the runway.

## My Plans at UFW

During my visit, I'm looking forward to:

- Supporting our client designers at their shows

- Meeting new faces in Ukrainian fashion

- Experiencing firsthand this season's theme "Hope for the Future"

- Reconnecting with old friends in the industry

- Getting inspired by Ukraine's creative resilience

## A Different Perspective

It will be fascinating to see our work from a different angle - not from our workroom floor, but from the front row of a fashion show. I'm particularly excited to see how designers have styled and paired the pieces we've manufactured, bringing their complete vision to life.

## Looking Forward

While this isn't a business trip in the traditional sense, I'm sure it will inspire new ideas for our atelier. There's something special about experiencing fashion in person, about feeling the energy of a live show, and seeing the immediate reactions to new collections.

## To Our Clients @ Celebrating Ukrainian Fashion's

To the designers who extended this kind invitation - thank you for making me part of your UFW experience. To those who might be attending, I would love to connect and share our mutual passion for Ukrainian fashion.

I'll be sharing my experiences and impressions after the event, offering a behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who usually experiences fashion from the production side.
