The new season of Arthur Kulakovskiy and his eponymous brand is dedicated to the sense of integrity. Being from Odessa, the designer continues to immerse himself in his heritage and translates the stories of his inspiring compatriots onto clothing. Stories worth remembering and nurturing.

In his new collection, Kulakovskiy recalls the incredible life journey of Berta Rapoport, one of the first female sea captains in the world. Born in Odessa, she is remembered as one of the strongest and most prominent women of the 20th century far beyond her hometown. Her courage to defy the social norms of her time and pursue her dream against all odds, without complaint or surrender, her perseverance and hard work, are the main sources of inspiration for the spring-summer collection of KULAKOVSKY.

Being true to oneself, one's values, and one's path is the leitmotif of the new season for Arthur Kulakovskiy.

The spring-summer 2024 collection is divided into two blocks: a reimagined classic KULAKOVSKY reflecting the brand's DNA, and modern versions of silhouettes from the 20th-century archives. The latter is represented by a long leather coat emphasizing the waist and recreating the iconic "new look," voluminous coats with sharp shoulder lines reminiscent of a pea coat, oversized bombers with capacious pockets, as well as midi skirts and straight jackets. The designer uses suede and distressed leather to emphasize the vintage feel of the silhouettes.
