UA in UK Community SS ‘25 Collection Show - London Fashion Week

By Chelsea Abili

Shevchenko

Created in Kharkiv, this was the first collection that we had the pleasure of viewing. From its diverse choice of models, to their soft glam approach, it’s fair to say that this portfolio of outfits valued the simplistic manner of looks for spring, rather than a bold array of designs. With the use of pastel tones and soft cotton fabrics, the designer focused on creating a minimalistic style, featuring bold, seductive elements at times with one model revealing provocative and striking styles occasionally through seamless linen, portraying lightweight and breathable looks with nice textures.

Made in Vinnytsia, we were drawn in by their bold entrance, as the change of music added a strong, hip-pop edge that perfectly complemented the bold atmosphere of their show. The first look featured a striking long leather jacket paired with a crisp white shirt underneath, creating an exceptional colour contrast. The leather boots completed the look, as the model walked with a commanding presence and clear confidence, enhancing the overall vibe with a strong, intentional statement that tied everything together effortlessly. This collection highlighted an impression of high class, bold sophistication, with the creative use of both diverse models, as a long grey coat balances gracefully on their first male model to walk on the catwalk, followed by a red overcoat with a nylon-like material worn by a female model. 

The dramatic detailing of the collection and versatile use of fabric elevated the traditional workwear and took the professional office aesthetic to new heights.

 Founded in Dnipro, our third collection viewing took a playful, floral approach to fashion, by balancing rich, bold colours such as snow white, with casual multicoloured pastel colouring. From two pieces with multi colours, to a palette of bold blue, white and brown, this collection didn’t fail to grab our attention with their creative use of their shade spectrum. From a lavender blue tight crop top paired with short white short capri pants, to corporate styled long dresses - we could all take some inspiration from these looks!

Andreas Moskin

This well-known men’s brand made in Lviv was last to take the stage, and blew us to tears with their entrance. The show started off with a singular chair placed in the middle of the catwalk, followed by a model with a prosthetic leg sitting down to connect his limb and adjust his placement. We were all in silence as he proceeded to stand up and walk down the runway, followed by a model boldly strutting behind him, as we slowly began to applaud. The show continues, as Andreas Moskin once again blows our minds with their exceptional ability to diversify their looks. Models with tattoos, braided hair, and physical impaired took the stage with glamorous designs from uniquely tailored linen trousers, to dark faded black two pieces - the collection was brilliant, and one to watch out for.
