“Seeing the horrors taking place this close to us, both geographically and emotionally, the feeling of hopelessness crept into our hearts. Not even meeting first-hand and aiding the Ukrainian refugees, helped.
Art is defined as one’s form of expression, of thoughts, feelings, ideas, beliefs, and values. We wanted to spread awareness and bring attention to these atrocities. As creatives in the fashion industry, this editorial was the only way we knew how to protest against these criminal actions. The photos showcase authentic footage from the war frontier and portray symbolistic, yet true episodes happening in Ukraine every day. We STAND WIITH UKRAINE and we say HANDS OFF.”
