SUMMER WEEKEND by OFD 2026

The summer edition of Odessa Fashion Day, first held in 2015 — and, this year, a decision made together to carry on.

SUMMER WEEKEND by OFD opened on 8 August at MarAmax Academy with a presentation by DeClassic, the label of designer Anastasiia Mykytyn. During the night of 8 to 9 August, Odesa came under a large-scale combined missile and drone attack. The team seriously considered cancelling the second day; the decision to continue was made collectively — and designers, models, make-up artists, stylists, photographers and partners all came.

On 9 August the shows went ahead in the Botanical Garden of Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University, with summer and cruise collections from PANACEA, LUMÉA, Yankovska Helen & Lady Forever, Soul Swim, PODOLSKA, Nimble Scissors and KEOSMY by yesundress.

We do not romanticise the conditions in which we work. But we do not want to allow those conditions to take away Ukrainian designers’ ability to create, develop and be seen.
