At this year’s Ukrainian Fashion Week, Andreas Moskin has unveiled an audacious new collection for Fall/Winter 25/26, titled “Executed Renaissance.” This collection pays homage to the cultural elite of the 1920s and 30s Ukraine, drawing inspiration from the avant-garde literature of experimental writer Mike Johansen. His works, which masterfully juxtapose the grit of urban life with the serene comfort of nature, serve as the backbone of this evocative collection.

In true Moskin fashion, the classic suit becomes a canvas for innovation, challenging conventional masculinity with daring silhouettes. Featuring elongated jackets with distinctive fixed belts, the designs conjure an expressive silhouette reminiscent of a work uniform, yet elevated to a place of high fashion. Patch pockets make a comeback, yet their unconventional placements defy expectations and invite intrigue.
A standout piece of the collection is the deconstructed suit, presented in a striking palette of red and khaki. These garments are imbued with deeper meanings, illustrated through a unique asymmetry in the seam design, echoing themes of mutilation and destruction. Founders Andrew Moskin and Andreas Bilous articulate their vision: “This collection reflects the stages of our cultural evolution—transitioning from dark, chaotic imagery of censorship and war to the light and openness emblematic of our era of independence.”
Natural materials reign supreme in this collection, with tweed, cashmere, and wool aligning with the ethos of country wear. Everyday essentials like knitted sweaters and polos are expertly fused with classic tailoring, creating a seamless interplay between tradition and modernity. A muted colour palette emerges, showcasing earthy tones like marsala, avocado, and milk, enhanced with playful fringe accents that embody a naturalistic ethos.
In an inspiring move, the collection also addresses inclusivity with designs tailored for men with prosthetic limbs. Jackets feature removable sleeves secured with invisible zippers, while pants incorporate zippers along the inner side seams for effortless dressing and undressing with prosthetics. This thoughtful adaptation reflects Moskin’s commitment to fashion as a means of empowerment.
Andreas Moskin’s FW 25/26 collection is not just a tribute to the past but a bold statement for the future—a sartorial exploration of identity, culture, and the resilience of the human spirit.
