Founded 2011 in Kyiv by Ksenia and Anton Schnaider, the label gained fame for the demi‑denim – bermuda-dropped-over-jeans innovation (images below). Check them out here.
For Pre-Spring 2026, KSENIA SCHNAIDER blends rural nostalgia with urban irony. Shot among gardens and coastal landscapes, the collection carries a soft, summery mood infused with the brand’s signature wit.
Their craft-forward, upcycling-first approach blends Ukrainian textile traditions with contemporary tailoring and a dry sense of humor which all of us here @Denimology totally appreciate 😉
This transitional collection is built around denim — the core of KSENIA SCHNAIDER’s identity. Embroidered jeans, hemp dresses and shirts, and soft knitwear come together to form a comfortable everyday wardrobe designed for movement, ease, and an appreciation of life’s beauty.
Another key motif this season is the cherry – a traditional fruit in Ukraine. First hand-drawn by Anton Schnaider for the Spring/Summer 2017 collection, the print makes a comeback almost a decade later as the team reactivates its own archive. This season, cherries are embroidered on denim and knitwear, hand-crocheted, or printed on hemp and linen.
All garments are made from sustainable materials, including organic cotton, hemp, and nettle, and produced locally at the brand’s own facilities in Kyiv.
You can shop for the current KSENIA SCHNAIDER collection on their website, as well as at Free People.
