Fanzine Kyiv was a collaborative project between UK based Foxall Studio and twelve designers and creatives in Kyiv. In partnership with Ukrainian Fashion Week, eight designers nominated for their Best Newcomer Award were invited to collaborate with local photographers, illustrators and graphic designers to produce a fanzine in 4 hours. 

Fanzine Kyiv is the second fanzine project initiated by the British Council bringing together the next generation of designers and creatives from emerging fashion cities. The project profiles the best young designers in a city while asking them to consider their brand identity and challenging them to represent it intuitively with limited time and resources. 

The project is one strand of a wider fashion partnership with Ukrainian Fashion Week linking the Ukraine and the UK. This programme, titled Fashion DNA:Ukraine, it includes Fanzine Kyiv -  which will be turned into an exhibition for Ukraine Fashion Week in October and an installation in the city- and three participating designers will be selected to travel to the International Fashion Showcase at London Fashion Week. 

Fanzine Kyiv was made possible by Ukrainian Fashion Week and Foxall Studio.
