When the first bombs fell on Kyiv, Lili Litkovskaya grabbed her two-year-old daughter and fled. She left everything behind. Her husband, who joined the army, her mother, who didn’t want to leave her homeland, her entire life and everything that bore witness to it. She left her collection behind. 24 hours to the Polish border, from there we went to friends in Milan. Now she is here. As the only Ukrainian designer to have the honor of being invited by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture to present a show at Paris Fashion Week. A show that cannot take place without clothes. The sight of Lili Litkovskaya in Paris is one that you can’t get rid of in the days that follow.
