It became the first professional fashion event in Eastern Europe. It is a unique event in Ukraine that entirely corresponds to the prêt-a-porter shows world standards. Twice a year, it gathers more than 40 participants, accredits more than 150 Ukrainian and international mass media and is attended by over 25000 guests every time.

In 2003 ‘New Names’ and ‘Fresh Fashion’ projects were founded as a part of Ukrainian Fashion Week in order to search for and support talented youth. During the time of existence, these projects provided continuous inflow of ‘new blood’ into Ukrainian fashion and developed UFW with a reputation of discoverer of emerging talents.
