…so far.
“It’s by a Ukrainian brand, I actually had this shipped from [insert Ukrainian city name]” – has been on auto-pilot in 2022 in response to fashion inquiries.
“I often look for small Ukrainian labels to shop because A.: I am Ukrainian and love the feeling of supporting local brands that often don’t get the attention they deserve and B.: I often notice Ukrainian brands produce some truly amazing high-quality clothes because they really think outside the box.” – 2018
“Already owning some pieces by Ukrainian brands and following a ton of designers on socials, I knew coming to Kyiv… some serious investing was about to happen.” – 2019
“I find Ukrainian artists, designers and brands to be some of the most chic and creative ones in the world. Creators here aren’t trying to chase world standards – they just create.” – 2019
Support & love for Ukrainian brands isn’t a new concept for my blog.
Neither is putting money where my mouth is.
2022 forced a new meaning for both concepts – Ukrainian brands require support for survival, not underrated beauty and ingenuity I often described only 2-3 years ago. Making a thoughtful investment through purchasing fashion took on a whole new meaning by supporting #MadeInUkraine – most of these labels operate through air raid sirens from russian missiles on a daily basis. Most brands in Ukraine today donate to the Armed Forces in Ukraine through direct investments, uniform production, or volunteering & sometime in late spring, I wanted to start supporting my favorite & some new Ukrainian fashion designers who are keeping the local economy afloat.
Research, hashtags + DMs and I compiled 2 catalogues of Ukrainian brands to shop & support – proceeding to do so myself. So far this year, I purchased from 8 Ukrainian brands that blew me away – some as expected, some by surprise. Half of which made it into this outfit – scroll down for links, descriptions & details.

I’m also a Ukrainian New Yorker – having strong pride and patriotism for both: my homeland 
and my current home 
. For years, I’ve been on a side mission to capture my stunning NYC and elevate the depth and beauty of my Ukrainian culture, fashion and language (some of my posts are in Ukrainian!)
February 24, 2022 – my digital space shifted to include information about russia’s war on Ukraine, the devastation and destruction my home country is dealing with and the bravery, strength and inspiring spirit they are facing it with. A large portion of my posts today highlight Ukrainian brands, fashion, culture & the strong, incredible Ukrainians making gorgeous clothes you can buy & support local businesses, economy & people fighting for freedom every day. We are also a community who donates to Ukrainian organizations found in any of my recent posts!
