"The main criterion to evaluate each Fashion Week is the authority and the achievements of designers participating in it. This season at UFW you will see 67 designers - 67 success stories that inspire country and the whole world. Even in the short time between the shows of UFW, the story of each member has been enriched with new victories that have an effect on the development of the fashion industry  of Ukraine as a whole" – noted Iryna Danylevska, the Head of Ukrainian Fashion Week Organizing Committee.
