On May 9–10, 2026, the city of Mukachevo will become the center of Ukraine’s fashion community. The Palace of Culture and Arts in Mukachevo will host FABECH Fashion Week — a large-scale event that aims not only to gain the status of a fashion event, but also to become a new Ukrainian fashion platform for designers, brands, models, businesses, and media.
FABECH Fashion Week is a new platform that brings together the creative industry, entrepreneurship, and international collaboration. The event will take place in the Zakarpattia region, attracting participants and guests from across Ukraine and European countries, creating new opportunities for the development of Ukrainian fashion on the international stage.
The founder and initiator of the event is Ukrainian haute couture designer Kateryna Chepak — Creative Director of the international fashion platform FABECH and founder of a fashion academy. Her team is creating a new event format that combines fashion shows, business education, a marketplace, and charitable initiatives.
FABECH Fashion Week will bring together designers, models, brands, entrepreneurs, media representatives, and fashion enthusiasts from all over Ukraine. Over the course of two days, guests will enjoy a насыщена program including:
- runway shows of new designer collections
- the launch of FABECH BAZAR — a pop-market of Ukrainian brands
- ART EXHIBITION — an art space and contemporary art exhibition
- a showcase of products from Ukrainian manufacturers
- networking opportunities for designers, buyers, and partners
- dedicated spaces for media and speaker sessions
- discussions on brand development, partnerships, and media
A special highlight of the event will be FABECH BAZAR, which will run throughout both days. This pop-market of Ukrainian brands will allow designers and manufacturers not only to present their collections on the runway, but also to showcase and sell their products. This format enables brands to find new clients, partners, and expand their audience.
FABECH Fashion Week is positioned as a platform for the development of the fashion business. The organizers emphasize that modern fashion is not only about creativity, but also about entrepreneurship, strategy, and financial literacy.
That is why, within the framework of the event, young designers will have the opportunity to gain new knowledge in business planning, marketing, accounting, and brand development.
In the future, the FABECH team plans to create a large-scale FABECH venue and an online platform where Ukrainian brands will be able to register and promote their products. This will become a масштабний marketplace, helping Ukrainian manufacturers enter new markets.
Thus, FABECH Fashion Week can be called the beginning of a new era in the Ukrainian fashion industry — a platform where designers gain not only a runway, but also real tools to scale their brands.
FABECH Fashion Week is open to partnerships with various representatives of business and the creative industry, including:
- fashion, accessories, and beauty brands
- local and national manufacturers
- business platforms
- educational and cultural projects
- investors and developers
For partners, this is an opportunity to present themselves to a targeted audience, strengthen their brand presence, and take a leading position in a rapidly developing region.
FABECH Fashion Week also carries an important social mission. As part of the event, the organizers have announced a fundraiser for specialized protective vests for women in the military.
Today, much of the protective equipment is designed according to male standards, which do not take into account the anatomical особенності of women and may cause discomfort and additional health risks. The organizers believe that women defending Ukraine deserve safe and properly adapted equipment.
The host of FABECH Fashion Week will be well-known Ukrainian TV presenter Hryhorii Reshetnyk, who will bring a special atmosphere and dynamic energy to the event.
The organizers invite Ukrainian designers, brands, manufacturers, and partners to join FABECH Fashion Week and become part of a new fashion platform that unites creativity, business, and international collaboration.
