Children

As of January 4, 2026 (source: childrenofwarorg.gov.ua)

_
I am a means of communication.

More important are the stories of children whose childhoods were taken by war.
My memories are the only space where childhood remains safe.
And I share this safety with those who need it.
I am running from reality, so I end up facing
the past. Facing my childhood.
That is why my fashion commits to the logic of
a children’s wear: it transforms, changes, adapts
to the body, just as we adapt ourselves. It’s hazy
and twisted like my memories.

_
Through my collection, I explore fashion as a
space of nostalgia and presence, of quiet
resistance and play, self-reflection, and escapism.
