They inspire, but they also represent: freedom, creativity, ability to challenge and reimagine the established standards \u2013 the qualities that many Ukrainians hold dear. We have prepared a very brief overview of the key designers and brands that drive Ukrainian fashion at home and abroad, although it was not an easy task to select just a few among the many emerging names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Svitlana Bevza<\/strong> founded her own brand BEVZA in 2006, and it has come a long way since then. Her combinations of soft palette colors and sharp silhouettes was celebrated at Vogue Talents in Milan, where she was the first Ukrainian to make it to the final in 2014. Participant of New York Fashion Week since 2017, Svitlana Bevza is especially recognized for the artistic historical storytelling in her clothing. For example, she created a balaclava inspired by princess Olga \u2013 a female ruler of Kyivan Rus, still admired for her relentlessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9875_photo-resizer.ru_96b4f650-50cb-4539-bc67-05ed46546985_1200x1500.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 476 633'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9875_photo-resizer.ru_96b4f650-50cb-4539-bc67-05ed46546985_1200x1500.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-142130\" width=\"476\" height=\"633\"\/><\/a><figcaption>\u2018Knyahynya\u2019 white balaklava.
