This season, LITKOVSKA introduces ZHNYVA – «harvest» in Ukrainian – symbolizing the gathering of the brand’s achievements over the past 15 years. This collection reflects the concept of reaping what has been sown: a cycle of creation, reflection, and renewal, celebrating the brand’s history and its ongoing evolution.
The concept draws inspiration from dialogue as an ultimate way of reaping and sowing ideas and meanings. LITKOVSKA tapped into this metaphor in March this year, beginning in Paris, where guests at the brand’s presentation wrote wishes for peace and victory on white ribbons. These “harvested” messages were later brought to Kyiv, where Ukrainians responded with letters of gratitude and postcards. The harvest of Ukrainian letters returned to Paris, completing the circle and emphasizing the power of shared voices.
The craftsmanship roots of Lilia Litkovska, who comes from four generations of tailors, are ever visible in the SS25 collection with a myriad of deconstructed menswear staples put on women’s shoulders – as well as the intricate work with textures, layering, and symbolic embellishments. Inspired by the core topic of the season – the impact of harvesting traditions on Ukrainian culture – all pieces tell a meaningful story about what is reaped and what will be sown. Sewing metaphors into masterful objects at the intersection of art and fashion, LITKOVSKA reimagines ancestral gratitude to Mother Nature and the gifts of the land we all inhabit.

The Spring-Summer 2025 collection offers mesh tops and trimmed blouses resembling corn tassels, asymmetric dresses, and an all-black outfit made of glossy faux leather – as if sprinkled with autumn raindrops.
A special place in the collection is allocated to the versatile Zip Bag – represented worldwide from New York to Tokyo, this accessory becomes a real partner-in-crime for experiments in style and function, providing multiple ways of wearing it.
At the heart of the collection is a charitable collaboration with renowned British image maker and SHOWstudio Director, Nick Knight. Titled “Flowers Know Better”, this capsule explores the strength and wisdom of nature, with flowers representing endurance amidst fragility. 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.
All profits from the LITKOVSKA x Nick Knight capsule will be sent to support Ukrainian children affected by war. Through this project, LITKOVSKA continues to gather not only the achievements of the brand but also the collective wishes and hopes of its global community, turning them into tangible support for the future.
