Odessa Fashion Day
A runway for Ukrainian designers since 2010 — thirty-two seasons in Odesa, and still opening twice a year.
Odessa Fashion Day is a cultural initiative that supports and promotes Ukrainian fashion brands, in Odesa and across Ukraine. Each season brings together designers, bloggers, retail, journalists, buyers and the public. Around the shows sit Fashion Shopping Place — a shopping space for Ukrainian labels — master classes and talks. Admission is free, by designer invitation or registration.
In 2016 OFD signed a memorandum of strategic partnership with Ukrainian Fashion Week; from 2020 it has been a partner of the national channel Fashion TV Ukraine. Odessa Fashion Day®, Summer Weekend and Odessa Fashion Night are registered trademarks in Ukraine.
Through the war
The platform has kept working through the full-scale war. Season 30, in April 2025, marked fifteen years. Season 31, UNYIELDING, took over two of the city’s landmark venues; Season 32, ONE OF A KIND, followed in May 2026; and in August SUMMER WEEKEND by OFD went ahead the day after a large-scale attack on Odesa.
OFD is a platform for ideas, meanings and people who are shaping the future of fashion right now.
