LITKOVSKA Spring-Summer 2026 “(DIS)CONNECTED” Paris Fashion Week

LITKOVSKA “(DIS)CONNECTED” is a meditation on the fragile balance between belonging and detachment, visibility and invisibility, silence and voice. It draws on the philosophy of art brut — works created outside the framework of “mainstream” culture. Their art, seemingly disconnected from the global agenda, carries a raw sincerity that often feels more deeply connected than what surrounds us.

This duality — connected and disconnected — came to life at the Paris Fashion Week presentation, where camouflage mesh, usually used to protect Ukrainian warriors, was reimagined in pink. Transformed into an installation, it became a symbol of strength, resilience, and defiance. A material once meant to conceal was turned into a statement: bold, vulnerable, and uncompromising, raising awareness of the ongoing fight for freedom.

Lilia Litkovska reflects on truth, individuality, and authenticity, setting human depth against the rigidity of everyday life. The “fight,” she suggests, is not only on the battlefield but also within ourselves, in the choices we make to resist conformity and remain true to who we are.

The SS’26 collection builds on these ideas. Light, fluid textiles and embellishments — lace, silk, and designer embroidery — are set against sculptural accessories, including handcarved wooden flowers shaped into jewelry and tops. Staying true to the brand’s codes, tailoring is deconstructed: jackets are transformable, dresses unfold into multiple forms, seams remain visible, edges left unfinished. Denim appears alongside delicate fabrics, creating contrasts of weight and fragility. Each piece adapts to the wearer — transformative and versatile, with no single fixed direction.

The presentation was accompanied by a live performance from Ukrainian cultural figures: musician-composer Yuri Khustochka and writer, singer, and cultural ambassador Irena Karpa. Music and poetry intertwined to tell a story of resilience and longing, amplifying the collection’s exploration of human connection.

Beyond fashion, “(DIS)CONNECTED” reflects the world we inhabit and leaves us with a question: when we feel most detached, could it be the very moment we are closest to ourselves — and to one another?
