The Best Ukrainian Fashion Brands To Add To Your Wardrobe

The Ukrainian fashion industry is booming, but which are the best Ukrainian fashion brands to keep you looking stylish?

Ukrainian fashion often plays with national symbols and traditional costume, or uses the country’s historical background as a central theme of the brand, while focusing on the quality of the textiles and haberdashery. The made-in-Ukraine fashion industry is more than just a trend – these are the most stylish Ukrainian fashion brands to invest in.

The Lace

Created by married couple Albina and Igor Krasnyi in 2016, The Lace is the embodiment of femininity and refinement. Named for the material their first dresses were made from, the brand has come a long way from its small beginnings. Today, with a network of showrooms in Kiev and Lviv, The Lace offers exclusive apparel that often includes limited collections and unique, bespoke pieces to ensure your wardrobe is always original. Their FW 2018-19 collection presented during Lviv Fashion Week featured relaxed but elegant silhouettes and midi-length dresses, characterised by interesting prints and cuts.
