Vegan Fashion Week® Joins Forces with Ukrainian Fashion Week to Share a Strong Message For The Planet
While Fashion Week is about the clothes on the runway, it’s also a creative medium of expression, an insight into the environmental, socio-economic and political situation of the world. This year’s event comes with a strong message inviting all people to reflect on the importance of compassion as a pillar of world peace, to highlight the connections between humans, biodiversity, and the pressing need to stop our negative impact on the planet and its inhabitants.

This historical event will be showcasing an entirely cruelty-free experience from the fashion we wear, the beauty we put on our skin, and the food we eat. It encapsulates a world where ethics and trends intersect as a celebration of human evolution.
Ticket purchases and additional donations will benefit the VFW Mentorship Fund, which provides continued support for emerging fashion designers to increase exposure and business opportunities in the US market. This season’s event benefits will support Ukrainian Fashion Designers.

“Тиждень моди – це не просто демонстрація одягу на подіумі, це також засіб творчого вираження, розуміння екологічної, соціально-економічної та політичної ситуації у світі. Цьогорічна подія має сильний меседж, який запрошує всіх поміркувати над важливістю співчуття як основи миру у всьому світі, підкреслити зв’язки між людьми, біорізноманіття і нагальну потребу зупинити наш негативний вплив на планету та її мешканців. Ця важлива fashion співпраця має на меті представити найліпші зразки українських sustainable брендів у колективному показі, у шоурумі, а також відбудуться дискусії про етику й значення sustainable у моді. Захід відбудеться в нещодавно відремонтованому California Market Center у центрі Лос-Анджелеса.

“Мода є найбільшою, найгучнішою платформою для захисту прав людини та демократичних цінностей. Мода – це інклюзивність, різноманітність, стійкість і свобода вираження поглядів. Як представник культури, модна індустрія не залишається осторонь і щодня допомагає боротися за Україну під час цієї жахливої війни.
Українські дизайнери використовують свої навички шиття, щоб підтримати українську армію, жертвують гроші на потреби біженців, волонтерять і всупереч жорстоким обставинам продовжують творити.
Так, 51-й сезон Ukrainian Fashion Week стане міжнародним. Організаторів вже підтримали Malta Fashion Week, Budapest Central European Fashion Week, Berlin Fashion Week, Transilvania Fashion Festival, Vienna Fashion Week, MBFW Madrid, Brussels Fashion Week, Vegan Fashion Week (Los Angeles at California Market Center).
[Fashion is the biggest, loudest platform for the defense of human rights and democratic values. Fashion is about inclusiveness, diversity, sustainability and freedom of expression. As a representative of culture, the fashion industry does not stand aside and helps fight for Ukraine every day during this terrible war.
Ukrainian designers use their sewing skills to support the Ukrainian army, donate money to the needs of refugees, volunteer and, despite cruel circumstances, continue to create.
Thus, the 51st season of Ukrainian Fashion Week will become international. The organizers have already promoted Malta Fashion Week, Budapest Central European Fashion Week, Berlin Fashion Week, Transilvania Fashion Festival, Vienna Fashion Week, MBFW Madrid, Brussels Fashion Week, Vegan Fashion Week (Los Angeles at California Market Center).]”
