Founded in 2009 by designer Lilia Litkovska, the brand is a regular presence on the official Paris Fashion Week schedule and is represented by more than 60 retailers across 20 countries, including Dover Street Market London, New York, and Ginza; L'Eclaireur; and La Samaritaine.
THERE IS NO WRONG SIDE
Each garment becomes a canvas for co-creation: the LITKOVSKA label is covered with a strip of white fabric, symbolically leaving space for a new story to begin. Once it leaves the atelier, it no onger belongs to the brand — it becomes a means of self-expression, evolving with its new owner.
LITOVSKA is a womenswear brand known for its architectural tailoring that transforms with its wearer. Born from the raw energy of Kyiv and refined in Paris, each piece is designed to be worn inside out, deconstructed, or reshaped — reflecting the brand's motto: "There is no wrong side."
LILIA LITKOVSKA — THE SOUL OF THE BRAND
Born in Kyiv into a family of four generations of tailors and garment makers, Lilia Litkovska followed her path against resistance and expectations. She studied patternmaking, art history, and earned a master’s degree while building her own practice from a young age. At 23, she presented her first fashion collection; at 27, she launched her namesake brand, LITKOVSKA. Alongside this, she worked as a stylist, costume designer, and TV host, creating stage and screen looks for musicians, performers, and large-scale cultural projects.
In 2018, LITKOVSKA launched the ARTISANAL line — the brand’s response to sustainable and responsible fashion. Created from production leftovers, fabrics are sorted, shredded, rewoven, and transformed into new textiles using traditional techniques and ancient looms.
SCHOOLL — EDUCATION AS A MISSION
In 2020, Lilia Litkovska founded SCHOOLL — a school of art and craft created to support emerging designers.
Since its launch, SCHOOLL has held 11 intakes and brought together over 200 students, helping them enter the fashion industry and develop their own creative voices.
Music plays a central role in Lilia Litkovska’s creative method. Each LITKOVSKA show is conceived as a performance — combining fashion, sound, movement, architecture, and cinematography. Collections unfold as coded mood boards filled with cultural references.This uncompromising artistic stance has earned the brand its reputation as an “enfant terrible” — a symbol of authenticity and resistance to imposed norms.
Today, LITKOVSKA represents over 100 collections, dozens of fashion shows across major fashion weeks, international recognition, and industry awards — including being named among Forbes’ 50 Women Leaders of Wartime Ukraine.LITKOVSKA is a brand that speaks the language of strength and fragility, memory and future — a brand where there is no wrong side.
MANIFESTO
L — for Lilia.
L — for Litkovska.
Both meanings are true.
Since 2009.
Born into a family of tailors,
four generations strong,
we preserve the craft
by carrying it forward.
Garments of yesterday
imbued with the magic of the past,
echoing thoughts
of what is yet to come.
Masculine lines
laid upon feminine shoulders —
created to endure
the challenges of today.
For mothers and daughters,
like mountains and seas —
free to be both
tender and fearless.
From Kyiv to Paris,
from New York to Los Angeles —
there is no wrong side,
there is no false direction.
