Kachorovska founder and Kacho Group co-founder Alina Kachorovska was honored with the “UP 100: The Power of Women” award by Ukrainska Pravda. The annual award recognizes women leaders across various fields who continue to contribute to Ukraine’s development despite the challenges of the full-scale war. The honorees are selected by a professional jury, the Ukrainska Pravda editorial team, and its readers, across categories including business, creative industries, culture, society, education and science, sport, and others.
For Alina Kachorovska, the recognition was particularly symbolic: it came at a moment of professional transition after 20 years in business. Shortly after receiving the award, Kachorovska announced her decision to step down as CEO of Kachorovska and focus on her role as Creative Director. “As it happened, this award very symbolically marked the end of a 20-year business chapter in my life,” she said.
The recognition also offered an opportunity to reflect on the path she had taken and reconsider the next stage. One of the award’s experts, Anastasiia Ivchenko, recognized Kachorovska for her ability to consistently forge her own path and reshape perceptions of how a fashion business can evolve. In her new role as Creative Director, Alina will continue working on the development of Kachorovska, its visual language, and its product.
For Kachorovska, the award marked both the conclusion of an important professional chapter and a sign of moving forward. “For me, it is both a logical full stop and a sign that it is time to move forward. And I am ready to move forward,” says Alina Kachorovska.
