Top fashion designers create collection for Ukrainian utilities workers

On Sept. 2, designers presented a new collection of clothes at Ukrainian Fashion Week in Kyiv. But this wasn’t your standard haute couture fare. Instead, these outfits were meant to be worn by Ukraine’s public utilities workers.  

They were the result of a joint project of Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko and Ukrainian Fashion Week.

“The city initiated and started implementing this project so that the utilities worker of the capital would have beautiful, stylish and comfortable work clothes. I appealed to the organizing committee of Ukrainian Fashion Week with the idea to ‘disguise’ employees of the city’s utilities,” the mayor’s press service quoted Klitschko as saying.

The main goal of creating this collection was to find new ways to make the uniform as comfortable as possible for people who spend most of their day in it.
