At Paris Fashion Week, Ukrainian designer Lilia Litkovska unveiled her Spring-Summer 2026 collection “(DIS)CONNECTED” — a poetic exploration of dualities: belonging and detachment, visibility and invisibility, silence and voice. In true LITKOVSKA fashion, the collection defied convention, weaving together philosophy, resilience, and avant-garde luxury craftsmanship.

Art Brut Inspiration: Raw Emotion Translated Into Couture

The collection draws from the philosophy of art brut — artistic expression created beyond mainstream frameworks. In Litkovska’s vision, this form of raw, unfiltered creativity becomes a metaphor for authenticity. “(DIS)CONNECTED” channels this sincerity into garments that resist conformity, urging the wearer to embrace individuality.

A Paris Runway Transformed by Resilience

One of the most striking elements of the presentation was the transformation of camouflage mesh, a material used to protect Ukrainian warriors. Reimagined in bold pink and presented as an installation, it shifted from concealment to statement. What once symbolized protection became an emblem of strength, vulnerability, and defiance, echoing Ukraine’s ongoing fight for freedom while transcending into the realm of high fashion.

Deconstructed Tailoring Meets Sculptural Craft

Staying true to LITKOVSKA’s design codes, the SS’26 collection offered pieces that are transformative and versatile, with no fixed form. Jackets unfolded into multiple silhouettes, seams were deliberately left visible, and edges unfinished — all embodying the raw honesty of Litkovska’s aesthetic.

Luxury materials elevated this exploration:

  • Silk, lace, and embroidery provided lightness and fluidity.
  • Hand-carved wooden flowers, shaped into jewelry and even sculptural tops, introduced organic craftsmanship.
  • Denim juxtaposed against delicate fabrics, creating a dialogue of weight and fragility.

The result was a collection that blurred the boundaries of ready-to-wear and couture — unapologetically modern, deeply personal, and undeniably luxurious.

Performance as Storytelling

The unveiling was further enriched by a live performance from Ukrainian musician-composer Yuri Khustochka and writer, singer, and cultural ambassador Irena Karpa. Their interplay of music and poetry amplified the emotional landscape of the collection, turning the runway into a cultural experience that extended beyond fashion.

Beyond Fashion: A Question for Humanity

Litkovska’s “(DIS)CONNECTED” is not just a seasonal collection; it is a reflection of today’s world. At its core lies a profound question: When we feel most detached, could it be the moment we are most deeply connected — to ourselves and to one another?

With this collection, LITKOVSKA reaffirms her place among the most thought-provoking voices in contemporary luxury fashion, offering garments that are not only worn but also lived, felt, and remembered.
