Last week, we witnessed the beginning of one of the biggest tragedies of the 21st century. On the 24th of February, Russia invaded Ukraine, violating the peace agreement and starting with a destructive attack. The number of victims is growing every day and the damage inflicted on Ukrainian cities is monstrous. Millions of people have already left their country, or are still trying to escape, leaving behind their homes and everything they have been constructing for years. Every memory of their peaceful and loving homeland. The only thing they have left now is hope. The hope that their loved ones will stay safe and welcome the end of this senseless war. They are fighting fearlessly and unitedly. Now, more than ever, Ukrainian people need our support and help in any possible way.
Ukrainian designers have immense talent and have already left their big marks in the fashion industry, being recognized all around the world. Their persistence and dedication are notable in every collection. Through fashion, they represent their heritage and the political situation, always leaving space for a better future. We list down below 10 Ukrainian brands to follow and support.
