The large-scale event, which will take place in Lviv in the spring of 2025, is designed to build new connections between fashion and the top industries of modernity.
Exploring the intersections of fashion, science, technology, and cutting-edge art, UFEG invites industry insiders to discover a new dimension of their own perspectives. Become influential participants in shaping the future and find partners for unique collaborations.
Among the key events of the forum, which will be held for the first time in Ukraine, are a digital fashion film festival and panel discussions with the participation of biotechnologists and designers. A wide range of topics awaits you: from biohacking, which is becoming an integral part of our lives, to the impact of climate change on what we wear. AI, blockchain, biodesign, and wearable gadgets will be in the spotlight of honorable speakers.
Future Fashion Forum 2025 is dedicated to the theme of
«Symbiotics»,
focusing on the relationship between man, nature and machine.
“We created the Future Fashion Forum as a space for experimentation, dialogue, and new voices, where INTELLECT, CREATIVITY, and ACTION are crucial for the development of Ukrainian fashion.
In times of war, technological innovation, and environmental change—when there is no time to delay—we choose to move forward decisively and together implement ideas that change fashion and our daily lives. To implement solutions that emerge at the intersection of creativity and science, reinvent the familiar, and become guiding stars on the path to the future.
At the Future Fashion Forum, challenges become opportunities, acquaintances turn into fruitful collaborations, a deep understanding of the agenda takes the Ukrainian fashion industry to a new level and gives rise to a vision of a symbiotic relationship between humans, nature and artificial intelligence.”

Style: Surrealism
The Future Fashion Forum will showcase works and shows in the direction of surrealism, which reveals the unbridled power of imagination and subconscious images.
The artistic movement, which emerged in the 1920s in response to the events of World War I and the pandemic of that time, remained a relevant way to express the ineffable for a century, and today it has found itself on a new powerful wave of development thanks to the digital revolution and artificial intelligence, remaining true to its principle – the creative perception of chaos.
As Salvador Dali noted, surrealism is a true propaganda of the imagination. And at a time when great challenges have once again faced Ukrainians and all of humanity, the time has come to free ourselves from the framework of the rational, utilitarian, and familiar, challenging the modern design principle, where form follows function.
By focusing on the direction of surrealism, we open the stage for contemporary artists who know how to think differently and use the latest tools, which is an indispensable driver of the development of fashion and all creative industries.
