Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095680 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:47:00 +0000 Jaime 2095680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for these pictures - I enjoyed all three sets. The puffers and graphic tees spoke to me, particularly #5. Not sure what twisted meaning that suggests. I want clothes like those shown in #12 in the fashion exhibit set. I can't imagine how cold it was at the outdoor festival - mulled wine seems perfect for the event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095679 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:40:41 +0000 Joyce B 2095679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that’s too bad, I was dreaming of borscht like my grandmother used to make... I am sure the beverages were good though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095673 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 01:25:55 +0000 pil 2095673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

I love all the students' work - especially paper costumes. The mulled wine is my favorite - I finally found some in San Jose. Seattle used to get the same German brand during holidays.<br />Lovely pics from Christmas market. Looks like you were just in right time to see so many interesting things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095590 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 16:53:23 +0000 Barbara Diane 2095590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an interesting trip.

There were people in costumes that you could pay them to take pictures with, for money of course. I got asked in English by a guy in a zebra costume, I said no.<br /> And mulled wine is excellent. They also had non-alcoholic options<br /> ETA pics of windows of a boutique I walked by </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095555 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:19:45 +0000 Helena 2095555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, the purses are really beautiful. So interesting that there's such a quirky, animated (is that the right word?) style. And athleisure seems to be becoming the international language of fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095554 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:19:10 +0000 annagybe 2095554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first full day, before the tour officially started I went to the Saint Sophia Cathedral (over a thousand years old) and stumbled across a fashion exhibit in one of the outer buildings. Combination of historical clothing (not all Ukrainian), and sketches done by the students of their modern designs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kyiv-fashion-observations#post-2095552 Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:12:10 +0000 annagybe 2095552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So earlier this month I went to Ukraine for a photo trip, only a few days in Kyiv. Then four days in the Chernobyl exclusion zone<br /> I wanted to tell you a bit what I saw fashionwise<br /> They’re having an abnormally warm winter. Even the bears aren’t hibernating; the need a certain temperature for the hormones to kick in. I saw pussy willows in the exclusion zone. Most of the time it was above freezing during the day, and would drop below freezing at night, but not horribly cold. The only snow I saw was on my last day.<br /> Footwear in the city was mostly Doc style lace boots, above the ankle. Fashion combat boot styles, sneaker boots, and chunky sneakers. Very, very few high heels.<br /> Skinny jeans &amp; leggings were very popular. Puffers with hoods for outerwear. Few fur coats, which surprised me, though fur trim on hoods was there. Definitely athleisure influences<br /> One my last day I went to a local store that featured only Ukrainian designers<br /> Rachylou would have been in heaven, so many puffers in so many colors. Even puffer scarves.<br /> Lots of hoodies, I mean lots of hoodies, and sweatshirt dresses. Some of the hoodies had some fun designs </p>
