Despite a very difficult year for Ukraine, the title of “Entrepreneur of the Year” was deservedly awarded to Kyrylo Kostyuchenko, founder and CEO of Fashion Atlas Group, in 2022. This recognition became a symbol of resilience, foresight, and a systematic approach to building a business even in the conditions of a full-scale war.

The history of Fashion Atlas Group began in 2014, when Kostyuchenko launched the production of clothing for the local market. Over the course of eight years, the company has become a global player in the field of fashion e-commerce. In 2022, the company’s offices are already operating in the USA, Poland, China and Ukraine, and Fashion Atlas’ fashion solutions are entering the markets of Europe, Asia and North America.

Over the past year, Fashion Atlas Group has shown growth even in wartime conditions – thanks to prompt response to challenges, rapid relocation of teams, restructuring of logistics and adaptation to the new reality.

The key to success is innovation and flexibility. Under Kostyuchenko’s leadership, Fashion Atlas Group has implemented a number of solutions that have become competitive advantages in 2022:

• Dropshipping platform with over 600 suppliers from Ukraine, Turkey, and China.
• Unique OMDM (One Manufacturer — Different Markets) model that allows you to optimize production for different markets.
• Rapid launch of turnkey brands — from idea to sales in 45–60 days.
• Own control hub in China for process optimization and quality control.

Fashion Atlas Group becomes a bridge between Ukrainian manufacturers and global fashion platforms – such as Amazon, eBay, Showroomprive, Nordstrom Rack, Anthropologie and others.

As of 2022, Fashion Atlas Group is more than 60 professionals in four countries. Kostyuchenko’s management style is based on trust, openness and involvement. Each team member participates in the development of the company: from the idea of ​​a new brand to its launch on the market.

The company has introduced a flexible bonus system, ongoing growth support and mentoring, and actively involves the team in strategic decisions.

Since its founding — back in 2014 — Fashion Atlas Group has supported social initiatives, and since the beginning of the full-scale invasion — it has been constantly helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine and displaced people. This is not a marketing strategy, but a deep internal position.

“We are not just building a company, but an infrastructure for launching fashion businesses anywhere in the world” — Kyrylo Kostyuchenko
