In April 2025, Odesa will host the 30th anniversary season of Odessa Fashion Day (OFD) — an independent platform that has been supporting young designers and developing Ukrainian brands for more than 15 years.
Odessa Fashion Day is not just a runway. It is a heart that beats continuously through the arteries of the city. What started as a local initiative has become a launchpad for over 500 designers, many of whom today shape the face of Ukrainian fashion on the international stage.
The anniversary campaign of the season is a visual manifesto centered around a symbolic red dress. Its pattern resembles blood vessels and simultaneously a map of Odesa: each line represents a designer’s journey, each street an improvised runway, each intersection a point of new ideas being born.
“We want to show Odesa as a living organism — a city that never stops. A city where fashion has the energy of movement, rhythm, breathing. And the 30th season is a return to the origins, to the heart of Odessa Fashion Day,”
— says project founder Kostiantyn Leontiev.
SEASON’S SOCIAL INITIATIVE
15 YEARS OF OPENNESS. A TIME FOR OPEN HEARTS.
Odessa Fashion Day is about fashion, but always more than fashion. For 15 years, every guest has been able to attend events for free by simply registering online. We are proud of this openness and the trust our audience has shown us throughout this journey.
This year, this gesture takes on a new meaning. As part of the 30th season, OFD is supporting the Children of Heroes Foundation, which helps children who have lost one or both parents due to russia’s full-scale invasion. The Foundation provides psychological, humanitarian, and medical assistance, legal support, education, socialization, and development for the children.
Its mission is to help the Children of Heroes survive their loss and realize their personal and professional potential, becoming worthy representatives of the Ukrainian nation in the global community. It is a unique, long-term commitment to stand with these children until adulthood. Today, the Foundation cares for more than 12,700 children.
We invite all our guests and followers to join this initiative — instead of a ticket, make a kind gesture. Even a symbolic donation is an investment in the future.
It’s very simple to donate:
— go to the special link in the bio of odessafashionday
— or find the link in the event schedule on the website
— or during registration for the shows.
“One click — and you are no longer just a guest. You are part of a great movement of support that truly changes lives. One donation — and you give a Child of a Hero a chance to walk their path with hope and strength. Odessa Fashion Day unites fashion, culture, and responsibility. And we believe that beauty has true power — especially when it comes from the heart,”
— emphasizes Kostiantyn Leontiev.
