Milan Fashion Week is the moment the entire fashion world holds its breath. Editors, buyers, brand founders, and tastemakers fill the streets of Milan — and standing out in that crowd takes more than just a great outfit. It takes a point of view.
This season, that point of view came from Ukraine.
Valeriia Khrapko, co-founder of the Milan-based luxury bag brand Palere Milano, chose REPULO'S for her Milan Fashion Week appearance — a Ukrainian made-to-order designer label known for its handcrafted details, sculptural silhouettes, and unapologetic femininity.
The Look: REPULO'S Rosalie Collection
Valeriia wore two pieces from the Rosalie collection — and together, they created one of the most memorable street style moments of the week.
The Blouse: Asymmetric Silk Satin Blouse 'Rosalie' — €87
The first thing you notice is the asymmetric silk satin blouse with a scarf neck. One shoulder completely bare, the other structured with a padded shoulder. A dramatic over-the-neck scarf that drapes with effortless precision. Long, loose sleeves in a fluid fabric that moves like liquid.
Made from a blend of 60% viscose and 40% polyester, the fabric delivers the silky drape and subtle sheen of luxury silk — at a fraction of the cost. Available in two colorways: classic black and silver icy blue. Handcrafted in Ukraine.
This is not just a blouse. It's a statement that needs no explanation.
The Trousers: High-Waist Trousers with 3D Flower 'Rosalie' — €115
Paired with the blouse — high-waist tailored trousers featuring a handmade 3D silk satin flower on the thigh. The flower is crafted by hand from silk satin. The same fabric runs as a stripe along the waistband and one leg — a subtle, cohesive detail that elevates the entire silhouette.
A stitched front dart gives the trousers a polished, tailored finish. The concealed closure — zipper, button, and hook — keeps the look clean and uninterrupted. Fabric: 92% polyester, 8% elastane. The model is 172 cm tall, wearing size XS.
Together, these two pieces form a complete look that is impossible to miss — even in the middle of Milan Fashion Week.
Why This Moment Matters
When a fashion insider — someone whose entire world revolves around aesthetics, craftsmanship, and brand identity — chooses a specific label for one of the most photographed weeks in fashion, it's not an accident.
Palere Milano makes bags with character. REPULO'S makes clothes with character. Both brands are built on the same foundation: handcraft, intentional detail, and the confidence to be noticed.
And both are proof that the most compelling fashion stories right now are coming from places you might not expect.
REPULO'S was founded in Vinnytsia, Ukraine by designer Kateryna Nechyporenko. The brand has earned a Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, shown at Dubai fashion events, and made two appearances at Toronto Fashion Week. Today, it has boutiques in Kyiv (River Mall and Gulliver), Lviv (Victoria Gardens), a studio in Warsaw, and ships worldwide.
The Detail That Stops the Scroll
At fashion weeks, it's rarely the most expensive outfit that gets remembered. It's the one with that single detail you can't look away from.
A handmade 3D flower on the thigh. A scarf that falls from the neckline like it was sculpted there. Black on black — but somehow anything but minimal.
These are the kinds of details that take time to make. The kind that don't exist in fast fashion. The kind that remind you why made-to-order still matters.

Ukrainian Fashion on the World Stage

REPULO'S continues to show that dressing like the front row of a major fashion week doesn't require a front-row budget.
