Lilia Poustovit opening show was all about prints, more complicated now than ever.

Every invitation to Ukrainian Fashion Week’s ready-to-wear shows has the following warning on it: “Parking is limited.”
And every year traffic jams near Mystetsky Arsenal at Mazepa Street indicate that guests ignore the warning.
Unlike fashion weeks abroad, the Ukrainian version focuses on a single location for shows. Another noticeable difference is the lack of changes to the schedule. It seems like it would be considered a crime if the opening show wouldn’t be by Lilia Poustovit and followed by Victoria Gres. At least that is what the schedule has been for years.
