Olga Romanova has been unveiled as Ukraine's latest Friend of UEFA EURO 2012 – her reward for winning a contest to encapsulate the EURO 2012 style at the 2011 Lviv Fashion Week.
"To be honest I didn't expect to win as I haven't been involved in sports wear before," designer Romanova said on Wednesday. "My speciality is women's clothing." The Lviv resident came out on top in a competition judged by a panel comprising celebrities, leaders of industry and Ukrainian UEFA EURO 2012 tournament director Markiyan Lubkivskiy.
The announcement was the highlight of what had been designated Lviv EURO 2012 Fashion Day, and also included an exhibition by Ukraine's national team photographer Yevhen Kraws.
