The brand NB Poustovit is the result of the joint work of Nota Bene (fabric manufacture company) and designer Lilia Pustovit. This partnership was mutually beneficial: Lilia had the opportunity to work with quality material, and Nota Bene in her person got an active advertiser for her products. During this ten-year cooperation, NB Poustovit products began to appear on Ukrainian Fashion Week.

In 2004, Lilia headed the fashionable Syndicate of Ukraine (later - the Ukrainian Fashion Council), and two years later became the head of the expert council.

Her clients are not only Ukrainians, but also women living in the neighborhood (Christina Orbakaite) and distant (Michelle Pfeiffer) from abroad. It is also known that the Ukrainian first lady Marina Poroshenko, going to the inauguration of her husband, chose an outfit from the collection of Poustovit.

In July 2008, Lilia Pustovit was invited to participate in the annual international exhibition of women's clothing CPD: the new collection "Spring-Summer 2009" was presented here for the first time.

The Poustovit collection "Autumn-Winter 2017/18" at the Ukrainian Fashion Week

A week of Ukrainian fashion, according to the established tradition, began with a fashion show of the Poustovit brand. If her previous show Lilia Pustovit (photo above) devoted to the theme of feminism, then the autumn-winter collection of 2017 was clearly anti-militarist color.

Communicating with journalists, Lilia said that the creation of new images inspired her French women who lived in the post-war era of the last century, who replaced the stern soldiers' uniforms with elegant sensuality and graceful dresses.

The main outfits that distinguish the postwar fashion of the last century - gray, black and brown long fitting dresses, kimono gowns and V-neck blouses - Lilia Pustovit enlivened with artificial bouquets and bright orange laces on massive shoes.

The designer decorated the floral notes of the muted tones and favorite clothes-shirts of Poustovit. In the current season, they have become much longer (cover the calves of the legs to the middle) and supplemented with new, sometimes unexpected attributes: appliqués, sleeves "buff" and leather straps.

Bad weather did not stop admirers of Lilia Pustovit's creativity: among the guests of the show were many representatives of the Ukrainian beau monde.
