One of the most pro-Ukrainian weeks of haute couture is over. Some media have already reported that the fourth day of the Fashion Week in Paris was closed with a show by Valentino, which impressed everyone with unusual Ukrainian themes. His models appeared on the catwalk in embroidered shirts, and sheepskin jackets and vests. The Italian brand again has turned to ethnic elements in its outfits. So, the guests of the show saw a combination of bright Transcarpathian fitted sheepskin vest, bell-bottomed shirt-dresses, and red-and-black Ukrainian embroidery. The models were also wearing crown braids decorated with flowers.

Apart from that, four Ukrainian models took part in the shows of most renowned haute couture designers. Iryna Kravchenko appeared on the catwalk from the French house Bouchra Jarrar, at Yiqing Yin’s show. Besides, Iryna was selected to show the evening gown at the Valentino show. Iryna Kravchenko and Snizhana Onopka took part in the debut show of the Atelier collection by La Perla. Ella Zadavysvichka has twice appeared on the catwalk for the Dice Kayek Fashion House and also took part in the show for the Yiqing Yin brand. And model Yulia Museichuk took part in the haute couture show from Raf Simons for Dior, which presented the brightest images from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
