The Ukrainian brand Litkovska recently presented its new collection in Paris while Paris Fashion Week started. In the new season, the local brand continues to explore the concept of dialogue, so it was decided to abandon the traditional catwalk, turning the presentation into a quiet conversation with time. Hence, the collection’s name – “3 a.m. – traverse.”
The designer was inspired by a trip to the top of Kilimanjaro with the Ukrainian military, who are learning to move forward with prosthetic limbs instead of lost ones and a new chapter in their lives instead of reflecting on the past.
This philosophy is even reflected in the invitation to the presentation: a photo taken by Lilia Litkovska at an altitude of 5,895 meters, above the clouds, where the horizon dissolves into infinity, leaving only a silent vow of hope.
The show’s central concept was to move away from the pressure of trends and expectations. The collection came to life in the antique alleys of the Paul Bert Serpette vintage market without spectators, crowds, and noise.
