Circle of Life by Nadya Dzyak: the designer presented a new collection at Ukrainian Fashion Week
17 February 15:23
On Friday, February 14, the Ukrainian Fashion Week hosted the FW25/26 collection by Ukrainian fashion brand Nadya Dzyak, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
The guests of the event saw the embodiment of the ideas of rebirth and cyclicality of the universe in exclusive solutions from the designer, who traditionally combines elegance, modern trends and her signature pleating technique.
The circle is the original form of the universe, symbolizing the continuous movement of time, the cyclical nature of life and the transmission of knowledge from generation to generation. This idea formed the basis of the new collection, where every detail is a reflection of traditions that take on new forms and meanings.
In the FW25/26 collection, the designer uses matter as a medium to embody these ideas – colocentric shapes in sketches, weightless organza in graceful circles and geometric curls, as if repeating an ancient rite. The collection is centered on dresses and skirts decorated with intersecting dynamic flounces in the form of circles that hold their shape with the help of a special technology.
The designer reinterprets the brand’s DNA: transparent and structured models are combined with tweed and wool, and guipure mini dresses contrast with rust-brown denim. Bomber jackets with floral appliqués and asymmetrical skirts refer to grunge while maintaining elegant silhouettes. Innovations also touched upon wavy shapes, appearing in flounces made of dense materials.
The new collection is mostly in black, but contains hot flashes of red and carmine, as well as cobalt and linen shades. Nude taupe items became a delicate addition, and the brand’s iconic classic sheer dresses and blouses are made in an updated shade of chocolate.

The source of the collection
The idea for the collection came about when the designer met her grandmother Valentina near the studio, who was selling colorful round rugs woven by herself. Upon getting to know her better, Nadia learned that the woman had moved to Dnipro from Bakhmut and was creating these items the way she had learned in her youth to support herself and her sick son. Her works are naïve, but fascinate with non-trivial color combinations and seem to reflect the whole universe.
“It just happens – my hand combines these colors and puts them into circles,”
– says Valentyna.
The designer believes that the universe itself speaks through her when she creates the collection, just as it does through her grandmother Valentyna when she weaves and combines her bright circles. A separate block of products in the new collection is dedicated to the work of Ms. Valentina from Bakhmut.
“Through the warmth that Ms. Valentyna carries, through the gloom that shrouds our present, I felt so sincerely inspired, I remembered my first sewing machine, the Chaika, on which I was allowed to sew as a child and my grandmother Anya, who passed on all the skills to me. We have a lot to learn from the older generation. Everything is a big circle of memory, tradition, and their reproduction. Because Life goes on as long as we continue to create,”
– says Nadia Dziak.

Each collection by NADYA DZYAK has its own unique features, but all of them are united by the brand’s commitment to pleated details, translucent fabrics and layered decors.
Traditionally, the brand pays special attention to the skillfulness of the hand-patterning technique of pleated details and flounces that reflect its DNA. The main design element of the brand’s sophisticated iconic products is the skillful use of translucent fabrics that create optical illusions and the effect of weightlessness.
