On Saturday 7 June 2025, the Luxembourg-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce (LUCC) and Fashion Globus Ukraine held a trade and cultural event at the Café Armes in Nospelt (Kehlen). 

The event focused on Ukrainian fashion and design and welcomed more than twenty Ukrainian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Kharkiv, Odesa, Ternopil and western parts of Ukraine. It featured a fashion show, designer market and live music.

President of the Luxembourg-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce, Evgenia Paliy, welcomed guests and participants to the event and said: “It is our pleasure and our honour to present today the works of fashion and design of Ukrainian SMEs who are working in different regions of Ukraine.” She added: “It is very important to show that the gate to Europe lies through Luxembourg, that Ukraine is resilient not only in fighting in the front line, but supporting [the] economy, that the companies are not asking for money, not asking for help, but looking for cooperation.”

Speaking to Chronicle.lu, representative of Fashion Globus Ukraine in Luxembourg, Lyudmila Postalakina, said: “We worked during ten years in Ukraine, so now we are going to open our trade platform in Europe. Luxembourg is the first step to open here. Today is our first event in Luxembourg.”

Even in such a condition it is possible to create beauty, it is possible to keep dignity, it is possible to be human, to stay human.”

The event concluded with a buffet featuring a selection of Ukrainian culinary specialties and refreshments.
