SIDLETSKIY: Personality

From there, numerous women’s separates and men’s suiting looks emerged. The latter of these saw an emphasis on layering unique pieces to create a more elevated styling experience. One such ensemble saw black parachute-style pants paired with an oversized white collared jacket and a black belt, tied at the waist with long straps. 

The womenswear looks, on the other hand, were more varied in silhouette. One look saw a pair of crisp white barrel-leg pants paired with a cropped black and white cami. Seemingly simple upon first glance, the stark color palette and balance of silhouettes, between the oversized bottoms and shrunken top, make this look both cool and classic. 

Another look saw a sizeable white shirt dress paired cinched in by a large grey washed denim belt. Almost the length of a mini skirt, the belt was attached by a single button and draped asymmetrically, adding a contemporary twist to a simple base garment.

On top of celebrating its fifth anniversary, the show also witnessed the continuation of SIDLETSKIY’s collaboration with the U+SYSTEM Prosthetics Center for Military. This saw five military veterans with prosthetic limbs take to the runway as models, to showcase a series of adaptive garments created by SIDLETSKIY and the U+SYSTEM center. 

As the war between Ukraine and Russia continues to rage on, this collaboration and the veterans’ participation served as a reminder of the perseverance of the Ukrainian people and demonstrated how those who have been affected by their active combat roles are being included in the Ukrainian fashion landscape. 

A reflection of both the brand’s past five years and its place in the future of Ukrainian fashion, SIDLETSKIY’s latest collection allowed the label to not only re-establish its identity and core aesthetic, but also explore how both could be timeless. By re-imagining classic silhouettes with structural elements, SIDLETSKIY further proved that it has resonance and staying power, capable of lasting the next five years and beyond.
