When it comes to Ukrainian fashion, it’s not all about vyshyvankas or handwoven knits. The market for interesting, trend-driven accessories is also booming, with the Made-in-Ukraine movement bolstering a homegrown industry of everything from footwear to bags.
Take it from veteran designers like Bevza, the brand behind the red-hotcustomizable chokers making waves in Kiev, who created a cylinder bag out of crocodile-embossed eco leather, or Litkovskaya, who debuted the much-Instagrammed silk-tassel-adorned heels by Irina Litvinska. Poustovit put some Western kick into their collection with pairs of pink cowboy boots, and on the more outré side, there was Jean Gritsfeldt, whose models stomped out in his signature facial jewelry, which included everything from bedazzled labrets to shiny gag necklaces. Thinking more “everyday”? There is a felted wool knapsack byMantis Religiosa for that. Not a bad way to carry some Eastern pride.
Here, see the coolest accessories coming out of Ukraine Fashion Week.
