Following the Euromaidan protests, Charlet heads to Kiev to see what Ukrainian Fashion Week has to offer. The capital is still reeling from months of revolutionary turmoil which has only started to die down days before the fashion week is scheduled to take place.
Ukraine's fashion industry has grown rapidly in recent years. Despite the seriously unstable security situation which means many high profile attendees have cancelled their visit, fashion week organisers insist on going ahead with a unique, post-apocalyptic event which simultaneously confronts and buries the troubles.

I love that designer's concept of a show without music. Very adequate.

@ginaheartscupcakes 9 жыл бұрын

I wonder about the model who said that she "knows about makeup". Is she saying that because she wants to stay out of trouble? Or is she truly ignorant?

@bryliang 9 жыл бұрын

I mean most the other models and people discussed their opinions, plus the entire show's an outcry of the situation, so I think she's actually ignorant lol

ginaheartscupcakes Since she spoke in English, I have a feeling she isn't Ukrainian. Likely she isn't too involved and is ignorant to what is going on~

@minimonkeyplay 9 жыл бұрын

Purinboshi I believe she was born in Ukraine but she moved out at a young age, She has no stake in Ukraine anymore. I knew nothing about the situation either. If she's out on photoshoots in the UK,France, Italy, and perhaps Stateside. We should not expect her do know anything. The other models live in Ukraine and spoke the language fluently.

@hexkitten 10 жыл бұрын

i'm wondering the same thing... nothing about this video seems to warrant this many dislikes. to me, this series isn't much about fashion at all but using the phenomena of fashion week to highlight the political mood and interests clashing with vanity of different cultures in general, and i think it's a brilliant angle to go about global fashion reporting.

I'm not a fan either but here there isn't any of that mad 1m tall hats or crazy association of clothes so i enjoyed every minute of the episode i've seen so far (i paused at 7:57). I don't like the facecage or fake wounds on the forehead,but after the MADNESS from the Carabeen episode .. nothing can surprise me.

People really need to watch the video before commenting. The entire video is about trying to keep people happy, it constantly talks about the war, the deaths, what people are doing to survive. It's about fashion, yes, but also what's actually happening.

No doubt... Seriously, out of touch 😕 But, other's at least understood that we that we each show protest however we can... Whether it's with words, symbols or Molotov cocktails to protest this war. I can not begin to understand what these and other countries are continuing to go through, I can only cry for these people and the losses that they continue to suffer through... Which I know is sadly ineffectual.😧

@stevej1287 8 жыл бұрын

I hate fashion cause i think it's a waste of money and natural materials, including animals. But I support (street) fashion in Ukraine because they're actually fighting for something and have a passion that extends just making money. For me, fashion in Ukraine is more of a performance (performative art), than wasteful consumption. That Gucci, Louis Vuitton...etc crap can be burned though.

Steve J street fashion in ukraine nor russia always mostly was for self-profit. It’s just a copy/paste of western style and selling it out again by “local” brands. You can see a lot of them on Diet Prada for example.
