Designers display creativity and resilience as show is held in Lviv for first time since full-scale Russian invasion
The audience stood for a moment of silence to honour Ukrainian soldiers who had died in combat. Then the lights went down, the music went up, and a procession of models strutted by as the crowd snapped photos and made videos on their phones.
It is a ritual that has been repeated again and again this week in Kyiv, as Ukrainian fashion week returned for the first time since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
