Unique Pieces, United Voices - Elisabeth Zabelinskaya desgins for Ukraine
Being able to freely express our beliefs and being able to demonstrate is the most valuable good that we have in the EU and it is worth fighting for. In collaboration with Berlin-based social fashion brand souvenir official, and six EU-based artists we created a capsule to raise awareness for the European election 2024. However, before we could send the pieces to the artists, prep work was necessary. Fashion designers Marika Hellmund from Germany and Filip Bejek from France collaborated to reimagine the raw deadstock pieces we received from Souvenir Official.
These included six hoodies and a few denim pants left over from a previous collaboration, which they transformed into six completely new outfits. Marika and Filip incorporated an abstract version of the EU stars into the design process, threading them throughout the entire collection to visually align the pieces with our message of creating unity and advocating for a strong, democratic Europe.
Introducing Elisabeth Zabelinskaya
“Participating in this collaboration allowed me to realize my ideas affecting this important topic for me and my country - UNITY. I was also very glad to work not only as an art director but also to make things with my own hands.
I tried to maintain the authenticity of the Souvenir brand by adding important and unique symbols that I’ve been working on for a while. I love absolutely everything related to art and creativity and it was a pleasure for me to sew, cut, draw a sketch, and work on the production of things I am grateful to everyone who helped me with this!
This collaboration made me understand that unity is a completely different concept and vision for everyone, but in any case, it binds us all together!”
-Elizabeth Zabelinskaya
