Discover LITKOVSKA’s FIREFLY FW26/27 collection — Kyiv’s inner light and architectural elegance illuminate Paris Fashion Week.
The atmosphere of Kyiv itself becomes part of the collection’s narrative. The city carries the scent of life — cold air, stone, smoke, and human presence — a fragile yet persistent reminder of continuity in uncertain times. This tension between vulnerability and vitality runs through the collection.
The collection continues to evolve LITKOVSKA signature codes, rooted in intellectual tailoring, architectural deconstruction, and transformative design. Asymmetry and the aesthetic of «unfinishedness» reflect the fragility of our era, where stability often feels like an illusion. The silhouettes create a dialogue between past and present, drawing on the expressive language of Ukrainian Baroque — from Kyiv’s sculptural architecture to the dramatic proportions of Baroque costume. Flowing contours and shifting volumes translate this architectural tension into garments.
Central to the season is the introduction of the BESAGY BAG, inspired by the traditional Ukrainian “Besahy” — a double-sided bag historically carried over the shoulder for long journeys or market travel. Reimagined for the contemporary nomad, it evokes ancestral memory and the essentials carried across uncertain paths.
Throughout the collection, the flashlight appears as both a practical object and a central metaphor for direction and survival. When visibility is limited, one presence guides another.
