In Budapest, a model appeared on the catwalk of the 10th Central European Fashion Week.

This year’s festival was a tribute to the arts and culture of war-torn Ukraine, which cannot host its own fashion week.

The designer uses the platform to depict almost seven months of assault terror.

The dress is named after the city whose inhabitants died. Flowers blooming from body armor represent soldiers killed in conflict.

Fashions of Hungarian and Polish designers were also exhibited. Their designs reflect traditional Ukrainian culture as a sign of solidarity.

“This season, Budapest Fashion Week announced Ukrainian Fashion Week and Ukrainian brands can present their new collections to an international audience here. Ukrainian Fashion Week will celebrate its 25th anniversary this September. , but this is very important because the war has interrupted … these plans, ”says Violetta Fedorova, editor-in-chief of Vogue’s Ukrainian website.

Experts say the Ukrainian fashion industry halted for two full months when Russia invaded and only resumed again in April.

Despite the constant threats, many feel that war has become part of their daily routine and has generated support.
