Tkrainian brand LITKOVSKA announces a collaboration with renowned British image maker & Director of SHOWstudio Nick Knight.
This capsule collection merges the vibrant spirit of Ukraine with Knight’s artistic vision, reflecting on themes of beauty, resilience, and renewal. Inspired by Knight’s iconic floral photography, the capsule portrays flowers as symbols of endurance, balancing fragility and strength. The collaboration becomes a poetic dialogue between Lilia Litkovska’s designs and Knight’s visionary imagery, creating a collection that transcends fashion and speaks to the enduring beauty found even in challenging times.
Each piece is meticulously crafted, blending artisanal techniques with contemporary silhouettes. Exclusively for this collaboration, Nick Knight has developed floral images that have been further deconstructed, embroidered, and applied on various fabrics, playing with the form and lines of the clothes.
Litkovska and Nick Knight
«While in peacetime flowers decorate and bring comfort to us in our homes, the flowers that grow through the rubble or on the battlefield provide hope and demonstrate the power of beauty and nature» shares Lilia Litkovska. «The goal of our collaboration is to support children of Ukraine affected by this terrible war and to warm the souls of people around the world by bringing these flowers closer to their hearts.»
The capsule features a range of garments centered around the theme of ‘Жнива’ (Zhynyva), the Ukrainian word for ‘harvest,’ symbolizing the culmination of creative effort. The collaboration, which is a central part of LITKOVSKA’s spring-summer’25 collection, which is to be presented at this upcoming Paris Fashion Week, includes a jacket, suit trousers, a vest with an open back, voluminous shirts, and various denim pieces, including skirts and jackets. A T-shirt inscribed with the slogan “Flowers Know Better” echoes the collection’s message of nature’s wisdom and resilience.
«I abhor violence and brutality of all kinds where-ever and however it happens.
If within this collaboration my work can bring any relief from, or shine a light on the cruel and inhuman suffering that this dreadful war is causing, then I will be delighted» Nick Knight adds.
This collaboration is more than a fusion of fashion and art — it celebrates the resilience of life, blooming even in the darkest moments. Through their shared vision, LITKOVSKA and Nick Knight present a collection that invites us to find beauty both within and around us.
The LITKOVSKA x Nick Knight collaboration was initiated by Be an Angel e.V., led by Holger Homann. Be an Angel e.V. is an international humanitarian organization, also registered in Ukraine, that has been providing vital relief and evacuation efforts in Ukraine since March 2022. To date, they have evacuated 23,500 people from conflict zones and delivered 4,800 tons of relief supplies. Their work extends beyond immediate aid, focusing on sustainable rebuilding efforts of Ukraine, with special attention to helping people process trauma and to children as the most vulnerable members of society. All profits from this collaboration, available in retail starting February 2025, will support a project dedicated to helping Ukrainian children.
