The only thing which, perhaps, discourages the judges of the Ukrainian fashion, is its youth, and accordingly, its immaturity. Really, as compared to the old-timers of world fashion industry we look as young probationers who helplessly rush about and bustle about, in order to produce a good impression, forgetting about quality of the work; while their tutors are busy at creation something really outstanding.
Youth can be an excuse sometimes, although mostly it serves as prickly reproach. But also it can be used as a big advantage. Fashion “in Ukrainian” should move itself forward to the stage of the world fashion market due to it freshness, originality and ability to process fashionable tendencies in its own way. We have a task even not to copy someone, but to find the unique way of creation of fashion commodities. There is a question, what way will the creators of the Ukrainian fashion choose? Would they go by a printing-down the maestros of fashion or would they choose more difficult way and try to create the original Ukrainian niche in the world’s fashion, and what is more important, make all Ukrainian fashionable.
I think, there is no right way. I will not make a mistake, if say that there are thousands and even millions of talented young people in our country. The problem is that talent is not enough nowadays. Help, support and search of such shots is the lever, pulling at which, there is a possibility to set the whole country in motion. Frankly speaking, connections are not insignificant in this industry.
Fashion – it’s a rotation, it’s the cyclic system, to get into which is similarly difficult as to see far if you’re a short-sighted, but it is a not that diagnosis, when you have to drop hands. We are at the beginning of "fashionable" road, when someone, possibly, is in the end of it. We are young, fresh, ambitious and ready for action. We got the honor to break the stereotypes of world about our fashion, culture and to show that we are not worse than somebody else.
Only desire by itself does not lead to anything. And speaking about fashion, we need to understand clearly that, we must not only create it, but firstly follow it. The trick is to surpass the fashion, it does not fit languorous meditation on the result, but only certain actions every hour, every minute.
You just need to be “ill” with Ukrainian fashion, and do not hesitate to infect others.
