The project examines Ukrainian Soviet fashion (1945-1991) as a system where identity, visibility, and agency were negotiated across ideology, production, everyday practice, diplomacy, and diaspora networks. By decentering Moscow-focused narratives, it reconstructs Ukraine’s institutional and cultural role within the Soviet system and traces how fashion circulated across the Iron Curtain and beyond the USSR, shaping both domestic self-understandings and international perception.
