This was my second time attending London Fashion Week which included missing my first show because of crazy traffic, having to camp in the airport on the way back and being told at one event to ‘queue, but make it fashion.
The highlight of my trip had to be the mini Ukrainian Fashion Week hosted by UA in UK and featured five incredible Ukrainian designers.
GALUSHKO by Anastasiia Halushko
The revival of high fashion of past centuries,
inclusiveness, naturalness, traditions, other life – all this
combines and reveals the motives of the brand.That is
why the GALUSHKO brand is a steady appeal to the past,
a fusion of the natural and a rethinking of the future.
Complexity of forms and constructions, variety of
textures, use of recycled natural materials, draping,
reflection of the main ideology of the brand. The main
attention is paid to hand embroidery with the use of
vintage materials, namely buttons, which act as iconic
elements when creating a collection.
The philosophy of the brand is the different boundaries
between the old and the new, to create a unique, unrepeatable design!
Slanovskiy
Slanovskiy is a well-known brand of wedding and
occasional dresses, for self-confident women, for those

recently, but it has already captured the hearts of many
