LVIV FASHION WEEK Lviv

Lviv Fashion Week is more than just a fashion fair – it is a cultural event held annually in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, uniquely combining fashion, art, and social engagement. Since its founding in 2008, it has grown into one of Eastern Europe’s most important fashion platforms, attracting both national and international designers, brands, and fashion enthusiasts.

The event is organized by the Lviv Fashion Week organization, which places a strong emphasis on innovation and cultural exchange. It takes place at the Barvy Event Hall, a modern venue in Lviv that offers ideal conditions for fashion shows, exhibitions, and networking opportunities.

Lviv Fashion Week is open to the public, with admission based on voluntary donations – a concept that underscores the event’s inclusive and community-oriented spirit. In addition to traditional runway shows and designer showcases, visitors can enjoy a diverse program of expert talks, educational offerings, art projects, and social initiatives. One standout feature is the art project Presence, curated by Ksenia Tsikhurska in collaboration with the Lviv National Academy of Arts. Through sculptures and installations, it explores human experience and memory, merging classical sculpture with contemporary spatial art.

A defining feature of Lviv Fashion Week is its holistic approach. It not only presents current and upcoming fashion and accessory collections but also uses fashion as a medium for social responsibility, cultural resilience, and discourse. Topics such as inclusion, diversity, and national identity take center stage and are reflected throughout both the collections and the supporting program. As such, the event serves not only as a trendsetter but also as a mirror of social developments and creative expression in a changing world.

With its annual schedule, international participation, and clear social focus, Lviv Fashion Week offers a distinctive platform that goes far beyond the traditional format of a fashion fair – a must-attend event for fashion professionals, creatives, and anyone who wants to actively shape the future of fashion.

The LVIV FASHION WEEK will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 22. May to Sunday, 25. May 2025 in Lviv.
