Ukrainian Fashion Week gratefully welcomed the partnership invitation from Vegan Fashion Week. The direction of sustainability in fashion cannot exist in one separate country. Unfortunately, the negative impact on the environment has no borders. Only together we can overcome the crisis that exists. Only cooperation in the matter of preserving the Earth’s ecology, only cooperation in this direction, as well as constant exchange of experience, can give positive global results.
“ One of the biggest problems in the development of sustainability in fashion is an incomplete understanding of all aspects of sustainable practices in the creation of clothing. The strategy of sustainable development should be considered from several aspects: social, cultural, ecological and economic. As a rule, the social and cultural agendas are considered, unfortunately, secondary in the system of complex solutions. When talking about sustainable fashion, we should not forget, in particular, about caring for people. We should think of humanity as the priority of our lives. This season of Vegan Fashion Week was dedicated to this aspect of sustainable fashion. And although the show of Ukrainian designers included many interesting and new cases, we all felt that fashion now demonstrates new priorities – solidarity and dedication to humanistic and democratic values “, – Oleksandra Kakurina, head of the Ukrainian Fashion Week designer department.
Among the Ukrainian brands were: Chereshnivska, Dzhus, House Martin, Gorohova, Ochis, Oversized, Roussin, Sheezen and others
