For a professional whose career combines video production, digital marketing, and artificial intelligence technologies, the invitation to an international fashion event marked another point of connection with the creative industry.

Invitation to Unique Fashion Show New York 2026
On September 13, 2026, Unique Fashion Show New York 2026 took place in New York City, bringing together international designers and fashion industry representatives from different countries.
The event was held at Park Avenue Christian Church during New York Fashion Week.
The runway program featured collections by Volskaya Atelier, TURSUNKULOV, CHANCELL Allaiya by Allaiya Rich, Raushan Anuarbekova, Mahin Olimzoda, Lady Suits by Emmely Roloff, ARA Art and Design Studio, Tensengral, Badu Design, ANKU, Matheo Studio, and La Magnetique by Ekaterina Frumina.
Ihor Shovkoplias was invited to the event, whose program was relevant not only to designers and fashion brands but also to professionals working in visual production and creative media.
Contemporary fashion shows extend far beyond the physical runway. Through professional videography, social media, and digital publications, designer collections can reach international audiences.
For video producers, such events offer a distinctive professional environment. The movement of models, lighting, music, stage design, and fashion collections create a complex visual setting where fashion aesthetics and modern storytelling techniques intersect.
Shovkoplias's invitation to Unique Fashion Show New York 2026 reflects the intersection of his professional interests with the international creative and fashion communities. His invitation, however, should not be interpreted as confirmation that he served as an official video producer for the event.
IS Creative: Building an Independent Agency in New York
In 2025, Ihor Shovkoplias founded IS Creative, a New York-based creative agency combining video production, marketing strategy, and artificial intelligence solutions.
As Founder and Creative Producer, he develops visual concepts, organizes production processes, creates content for social media platforms, and oversees post-production.
One of the agency's key areas of development is the integration of AI-powered tools into creative workflows.
Generative artificial intelligence technologies offer new opportunities for visual concept development, project previsualization, and experimental content creation.
Shovkoplias's professional approach, however, is built around connecting creative execution with clients' business objectives. Video content must not only attract attention but also support a brand's communication and marketing strategy.
In an increasingly competitive digital environment, combining visual creativity, platform expertise, and marketing analytics has become an important direction in the evolution of modern video production.
International Experience: From Ukraine to the Netherlands and the United States
Ihor Shovkoplias began developing his professional career long before establishing his own agency.
From 2018 to 2022, he worked as a Video Producer at Promodo, a Ukrainian digital marketing company, where he contributed to the production of advertising and marketing video content.
His responsibilities included scriptwriting, creative concept development, organizing shoots, editing, lighting and sound production, budget management, and performance analysis for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
He also participated in organizing events and festivals attended by more than 1,000 people.
This experience allowed him to work not only with digital media but also with large-scale events requiring coordination between creative and technical teams.
His next significant professional chapter took place in the Netherlands.
From July 2023 to October 2024, Shovkoplias worked as a videographer for Amsterdam Hockey Club (AH&BC).
He produced social media videos, documented club events, and developed new formats for digital communication.
During his time with the organization, the club's Instagram following increased from 16,700 to 28,000, while one individual video reached 688,000 views.
These figures represent measurable outcomes associated with his work in content production and the development of the club's digital presence.
Alongside his other professional activities, Shovkoplias has collaborated with ADME as a project-based contractor since October 2017.
His work includes video production, script development, editing, visual effects, and YouTube content optimization, including titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and monetization tools.
Artificial Intelligence as Part of the Modern Creative Profession
One of the defining aspects of Ihor Shovkoplias's professional profile is his growing expertise in AI-powered content creation.
He uses generative artificial intelligence tools to explore visual concepts, optimize production processes, and expand creative possibilities in video production.
For contemporary creative professionals, proficiency in these technologies is becoming an increasingly relevant skill, particularly in projects where production speed, content adaptability, and the ability to experiment with visual concepts are important.
Technology alone, however, cannot replace an understanding of audiences, composition, storytelling, and brand objectives.
This is why Shovkoplias combines technological expertise with traditional skills in directing, editing, visual storytelling, and strategic marketing.
He approaches visual content creation as a comprehensive process, from the initial idea and script development to final editing, publication, and performance analysis.
Education and Continuous Professional Development
In 2016, Ihor Shovkoplias earned a bachelor's degree from the Faculty of Management and Marketing at Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics in Ukraine.
His academic background provided a foundation for his subsequent work at the intersection of creative disciplines and business strategy.
Over the following years, he continued his professional education, focusing on marketing strategy, creative leadership, negotiation, storytelling, and modern video production technologies.
His additional training includes Marketing Strategy at SKVOT, Brand Father by Andriy Fedoriv, Creative Director and Storytelling programs at SKVOT, ChatGPT for Viral Content Creation on Udemy, and Director of Editing at SKVOT.
This combination of academic education, practical experience, and specialized training has shaped a professional profile that extends beyond the traditional role of a videographer.
Visual Production in the Era of New Media
Today, the fashion, sports, entertainment, and digital marketing industries increasingly rely on similar communication tools.
Short-form video, documentary content, backstage footage, branded visual storytelling, and artificial intelligence technologies are shaping a new environment in which video producers are not simply technical specialists but contributors to broader creative strategies.
Ihor Shovkoplias's professional journey reflects this transformation.
His experience working in Ukraine, the Netherlands, and the United States, the establishment of his own New York-based agency, his projects for digital platforms, and his development in AI-powered production have positioned his professional activities at the intersection of several areas of the contemporary visual industry.
His invitation to Unique Fashion Show New York 2026 added another connection to this international professional environment, bringing him closer to a fashion industry where visual storytelling plays an essential role in presenting designer collections and shaping brand identities.
Shovkoplias continues to develop his professional direction through IS Creative, exploring new ways to combine visual creativity, marketing strategy, and technological innovation.
His career demonstrates how traditional video production skills can evolve into creative entrepreneurship, international collaboration, and new forms of digital communication.
