Video: A woman from Kyiv attended Ukrainian Fashion Week in a dress made from drone parts
Yana Metolkina, a resident of Kyiv, created an unusual dress out of defective drone parts and wore it to Ukrainian Fashion Week. In this way, the blogger sought to draw attention to a fundraiser for one of the units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
The influencer showcased not only the finished outfit but also the process of creating it.
According to Yana Metolkina, the dress is made up of various parts used to build drones.
The blogger decided to use defective drone components, transforming them into an unusual fashion statement for Fashion Week.
“I made a dress out of defective drone parts and wore it to Ukrainian Fashion Week. To highlight just how resilient and resourceful we Ukrainians are! While high-quality homemade parts neutralize the enemy, we’re turning defective parts into statement fashion. Because fashion reflects the times we’re living in,” the designer noted.
With this look, Metolkina wanted to draw attention to a fundraiser for a Ukrainian unit working on new strategies and tactics to combat Russian drones.
In the comments under the video, users reacted enthusiastically to the unusual look.
Ukrainians praised the dress’s originality, the designer’s creativity, and the cause for which she created the outfit.
“A wonderful way to draw attention to the fundraiser. Thank you for helping.”
“I’m just shocked! How could anyone come up with something like this? It’s wow.”
“The dress is fire. I just donated.”
“This is genius!!! And very stylish and meaningful.”
“Talented people are talented at everything. A really cool dress and a great idea behind it.”
Thus, this unusual look became not only a fashion experiment but also a way to draw attention to the needs of the Ukrainian military.
As a reminder, Ukrainian Fashion Week SS27 took place in Kyiv in September.
Events and runway shows as part of Fashion Week took place from September 2 to 6. The large-scale event brought together artists, models, designers, and guests, including Ukrainian celebrities.
Participants showcased their looks, and Kyiv resident Yana Metolkina used the main platform of this Ukrainian fashion event to combine creativity, patriotism, and support for the fundraising effort for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is evidenced by a post from the blogger.
As a reminder, the WorldSkills Museum in Shanghai is exhibiting a white porcelain sculpture titled “Myth,” created by master ceramist Lian Deli, as part of the “CHINA White” exhibition. The work depicts Princess Yushu—a character from Jackie Chan’s 2005 fantasy film “The Myth.”
