Blockchain Fashion Week

The stage is set for the Fall/Winter 18-19 global fashion season to kick-off with the biggest fashion week in Eastern Europe – Kiev Fashion Days.
The event has already established a reputation as a world leader for emerging brands, providing these labels with opportunities to increase brand awareness, receive publicity via top fashion media, acquire orders from some the most well-known and largest retailers, and establish contacts with some of the fashion industry’s biggest players – journalists, buyers, agents, showrooms, tradeshows, productions and investors.
This season, Kiev Fashion Days takes on a new identity, with fashion days becoming part of an expanded event – the inaugural Blockchain Fashion Week, and will be the first event of its kind to bring burgeoning blockchain technology to the fashion industry. At a practical level it means designers taking part in the event get the opportunity to make sales via a new blockchain platform and, in future, will be able to attract micro-investment to their brands using the same platform.
This season’s face of the advertising campaign is Snejana Onopka – Ukraine’s most successful top fashion model globally.
