Their names resonate in Paris and New York, their creations are worn by pop icons and top models. This is the story of how Ukrainian fashion became global.
Fashion is the mirror of its era. And today, Ukraine looks into it with new confidence. It’s not only about fresh tailoring lines or trending colors — it’s about ideas that have turned into global codes. Ukrainian male designers shape an aesthetic that feels equally at home on Hollywood red carpets and the pages of Vogue.
Frolov
Ivan Frolov turned the corset into a symbol of freedom and power. His brand FROLOV is worn by Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue, and Lisa from Blackpink. FROLOV pieces are always a play between sensuality and concept: intellectual dresses that double as artistic statements and striking red-carpet choices. @frolovheart
Ruslan Baginskiy
If anyone made a Ukrainian accessory a global style code, it’s Ruslan Baginskiy. His caps and fedoras are worn by Bella and Gigi Hadid, Madonna, Kaia Gerber, and BTS V. They appear in Vogue editorials, Blackpink music videos, and on the streets of New York and Tokyo — a silhouette that became a recognizable mark of contemporary fashion. @ruslanbaginskiy_hats
Artur Kulakovsky
The brand Kulakovsky became an international phenomenon thanks to its leather pieces. Hailey Bieber, Rita Ora, Ashley Graham, Olivia Culpo, and Leonie Hanne wear them. The iconic leather trench is now a staple in street style from New York to Copenhagen. Kulakovsky speaks the language of strength, where clothing becomes an extension of character. @artur.kulakovsky
Kostiantyn Omelia
This season, OMELIA unveiled a FW25–26 performance presentation during Ukrainian Fashion Week in collaboration with director and art director Veronika Yemelianova. The venue transformed into a space exploring choice, essence, and human fragility through fashion, music, and theater. The key look was a voluminous dress made from 20 meters of stock fabrics and adorned with flowers cut from vintage shirts. @omelia_kostiantyn · @omelia_atelier
