No doubts, Kiev (the capital of Ukraine, is not a famous fashion capital or a city) but the 1st article in my category Fashion Weeks will start namely from it. Why? Not because my friends lives there or just ’cause I like this country, but because Ukrainian Fashion Week 2006 has reminded us about the existence of a very urgent and important problem, its name is AIDS/HIV. And it was a very important issue to view and Ukrainian Fashion Week 2007 was devoted to marriage and wedding days…

A tribute to the history… Famous Ukrainian designer Alexey Zalevsiky presented his spring-summer collection 2007 and it looked a little bit unusual: first of all, there were 50 model at the show - 5 of them have HIV. Then, clothes - a condom headdresses or a hair-do with syringes. Collection of Alexey is a very warm one and it conveys a lot of positive emotions. The Ukrainian ANTIAIDS Foundation has supported this action and project.

It was only a tribute and what about this one… This Ukrainian Fashion Week was the 10^th one, it started in the capital of Ukraine and contained collections from both famous Ukrainian designers and new names, more than 40 designers were present.

The Fashion Week was opened with the models from Lilia Pustovit. By the way, not so far her clothes appeared in the boutiques of London and Tokyo. The catwalk started with the clothes in grey and black colours in combination with pink and yellow shoes. What about shoes? Ballerina pumps!
