It was a nice coincidence when, on one of the hottest days of the year, clouds briefly covered the Berlin sky and offered cooling shade to guests at Bobkova’s show. Kristina Bobkova’s passion for gardening served as her main inspiration this season. For this Ukrainian designer, who designs and manufactures in Kyiv, flowers are a beacon of hope. In particular, she was attracted to the mallow plant, which is a symbol of protection in her home country.Oversized tailoring and bias-cut dresses formed the basis of the collection, in a symbiosis of the femininity and strength of the Bobkova wearer. Motifs by the artist Polina Moroz added interest to the understated pieces, while muted and milky tones made the few bright colors shine. The only mood that was not felt, despite all the romanticism, was melancholy. There is and never has been room for that in Bobkova’s garden.

In cooperation with Ukrainian Fashion Week the label Bobkova was invited to kick off Berlin Fashion Week. And even if compared to last season the war in Ukraine was much less discussed, it was at least addressed in this very prominent place, albeit subtly. Kristina Bobkova was particularly inspired by the idea of freedom for the collection, which she transported into the self-confident cuts and the color palette: pink, butter yellow and emerald green in reflection of the blossoming chestnut trees on Khreshchatyk Street in her hometown of Kyiv. Those accents were then picked up by minimalist silhouettes that played with volume in a very architectural way. The peak of the collection were handmade knitted dresses, which are not only one of Bobkova’s signature pieces, but this season in particular honored the craftsmanship of the in-house atelier in Kyiv.

Though the post-Soviet Vetements and Gosha Rubchinskiy effect has mostly dissipated on Ukrainian runways, some designers are still citing the era. Take Christina Bobkova of Bobkova: She used the pixelated, poor quality of TV screens—a common occurrence in the early ’90s—and applied the visual as a print throughout the collection.The glitchy graphic came in stripes on a gray knit dress, but the strongest use of the print was when it was most colorful; a dress striped in red, yellow, and gray looked great.
