Ukrainian Fashion WeekJean Gritsfeldt entices attendees with his locations. In the past, he‘s shown in a circus and a boxing ring. This season, he‘s opted to present at a closed-down section of the Boryspil International Airport, near Kiev. With that in mind, Gritsfeldt chose to center his collection around a Vetements-type theme and cast his models as if they were airplane passengers.According to Gritsfeldt, most of the models were street-cast and assumed the roles of characters. There was an aged male hippy in a magpie mash-up of pieces, the standout of which was the cropped semi-floral-print vest. Some of the pieces, like the striped pantsuit, seemed a bit busy and leaned too heavily into the funny theme, but there were some classics, like a sharply cut black leather coat and a floral-print button-up.

Jean Gritsfeldt’s shows are entertaining, and his magnetic, Prince Charming appeal is likewise apparent in his collections. For Fall 2016, he closed his show by swinging from a cord in a circus, his long black hair flying behind him. This time, he brought his act to a local boxing ring; cue the wrestling-style masks. A silk trousers-meets-shorts look worn by a male model may be quite difficult to sport off the runway, but pieces like a pin-striped blazer with varsity stripes down the sleeve looked fun and polished.Still, Gritsfeldt works best when he shines in a literal sense. A striped track jacket covered in sequins was a standout, as was a semi-sheer black Lurex mock-neck shirt.
