One hopeful business owner had to escape her war-torn country.
What is fashion brand Nenya?
Nenya is a clothing company that was founded in Huddersfield, Yorkshire by Yana Smaglo.
The fashion designer's life was turned upside down when she was forced to flee her country as a result of the Russian invasion in 2022.
The 32-year-old was working in Kyiv when she was awoken one morning to the sound of bombs.
She packed a small bag of belongings and travelled to England after she was invited to stay with friends in Huddersfield.
After settling into her new home, it was then that she had the idea to launch fashion house Nenya - which means motherland in Ukrainian.
Her aim is to help fellow designers still living in Ukraine by supporting their businesses to help them rebuild their lives.
When is Nenya on Dragon's Den?
Yana will pitch her idea to Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Sara Davies, Steven Bartlett, and Touker Suleyman on January 23 2025.
Following an article in her local newspaper, she was inundated with offers of help and advice from fellow business owners.
She now sells luxury knitwear and clothes through her website and has pop-up shops in Leeds and London.
Nenya stocks clothes to over 120 countries worldwide and has a turnover of £120,000 as of January 2025.
The price tags on the garments range from £70 to £150.
