Categories: FOREIGN COUNTRIES CELEBRITIES
Supermodel Gigi Hadid, like most of us is disturbed with the Russia-Ukraine crisis as she pledged to donate her entire Fashion Month earnings towards relief efforts for the people of Ukraine. She announced on Instagram today that she will donate all the fashion weeks’ money. Gigi Hadid wrote, “Having a set fashion month schedule has meant that my colleagues and I often present new fashion collections during heartbreaking and traumatic times in history. We don’t have control over most of our work schedules, but we would like to walk ‘for’ something. This is not the first time that the fashion world has spoken to help awareness about the current humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Previously, Ukrainian talents like Bevza designer Svitlana Bevza and model Eugenia Dubinov have both shared their experiences directly from Kyiv. Also, Balenciaga show designer Demna Gvasalia dedicated his show to the resiliency of Ukrainians. Major brands and retailers such as Nike, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton have stopped exporting to Russia altogether.
