The collaborative collection by Ukrainian brand KSENIASCHNAIDER and British label Lee Cooper was first unveiled in September during KSENIASCHNAIDER’s debut show at London Fashion Week. The limited-edition collaboration, comprising 15 silhouettes, has now officially gone on sale
Representatives of KSENIASCHNAIDER say the collaboration is rooted in Lee Cooper’s core principles that resonate with the Ukrainian brand’s own philosophy: a focus on quality, durability, and functionality. As a result, the collection ‘combines Lee Cooper’s British heritage with KSENIASCHNAIDER’s avant-garde upcycling aesthetic’.
The collection includes women’s and men’s wear made from recycled Lee Cooper denim: several styles of jeans, shorts, and tops, as well as bomber jackets, trench coats, and other outerwear. All items were handcrafted at the KSENIASCHNAIDER studio in Kyiv.
‘Lee Cooper’s roots in workwear, durability, and functionality are a common space underlying both our brands, — designer Ksenia Schnaider explains. — It is an honor to be given the creative freedom to apply our vision and philosophy to a denim brand with over a century of heritage and continue the conversation on a more sustainable, more experimental, more exciting denim industry for the future’.
The KSENIASCHNAIDER and Lee Cooper collection is now available for purchase online.

About other KSENIASCHNAIDER collections
In February, the brand presented its ‘Think Inside the Box’ collection at Ukrainian Fashion Week. It featured KSENIASCHNAIDER’s signature denim items reimagined in a new, cubic form.
Jeans, jackets, T-shirts, caps, and footwear were designed in geometric, box-like silhouettes, ‘as if they were exported from a video game’. We previously covered the collection in more detail in our article.
