Aleksander V. Shevchenko
Aleksander has worked with some of the world’s leading fashion brands. He is an entrepreneurial thinker, specialising in sustainable sales campaigns. He always leads from the front.
Out of work he enjoys socialising with friends, golfing, cycling and anything that comes with an excuse for a beer or a glass of good red wine. But don’t try and tempt him with a curry because spicy food is a no go.

Richard Wilcox
Richard used to play professional football, which might explain his nimble footed approach to fashion sales. He loves to score a big deal but we’re not too sure about his celebration dance. Always positive and upbeat, he loves unwinding in the beaches and bars of Marbella.
Footwear Sales Manager
Jade Connolly
We don’t know where we’d be without Jade, as she’s the main cog in the Kyiv Fashion World wheel, keeping us all in motion. Her career started at Esprit after a degree in Sociology with Psychology, no less. Probably just the qualification to help keep us running at optimum. Organised and efficient at work, she’s as fun as they come on a big night out.
Office and HR Manager
Maria Roman
Maria’s admin skills are second to none, honed in the commercial environments of Esprit and Forever 21. She’s a real whizz on Excel and a great steadying influence in the Kyiv Fashion World office, no matter how hectic things get. She also loves to bake and potter about in her garden, making the world a greener, better place.
Purchase and Logistics Manager
Laban Leake
aWith a degree in Fashion Design, Laban is often found organising the fabulous collections in our showroom and assisting the needs of the sales support team. Surrounded by the brands samples is where he thrives. Outside of work Laban is an adventurous soul with a diary full of activities. He likes to keep himself busy by making clothes, dabbling in DIY, mountaineering, travelling, scuba diving, going to gigs and making pottery… The list goes on!
Sales Support Administrator & Showroom Assistant
Sally Greenwood
As Billy Joel’s No 1 fan, Sally sometimes confuses Wapping High Street with Manhattan’s Lower East Side, but that’s OK as her number crunching skills are awesome. But it’s not all tap, tap, tap on the calculator – she’s also a handbag connoisseur who loves spending time in the nail spa. Her secret vice? Disney – yes, every Disney ever made.
Financial Controller
Rossana Vittorielli
As her name might suggest, Rossana is a native Italian, washed up on the Kyiv Fashion World shores with typical Latin spirit and sass. She has over ten years’ finance experience and is a dab hand at managing payment flow. She’s also the queen of customer rapport with a penchant for nifty gifs.
Credit Control Manager
Gracie Ball
Gracie holds a degree in Fashion Marketing and Communications and possess admirable qualities such as motivation, honesty, and headstrong determination. She excels in creating captivating social media content and stays up to date with the latest fashion trends, often writing relevant articles for the business. During her free time, Gracie indulges in her passion for drum and bass and spinning the decks.
