VOGUE UKRAINE URGES TO LAY EMBARGO ON FASHION AND LUXURY GOODS EXPORT TO RUSSIA
In the wake of unprecedented military aggression from the Russian Federation and growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine Vogue UA urges all international fashion and luxury conglomerates and companies to cease any collaborations on the aggressor’s market effective immediately. Vogue UA particularly appeals to the largest players and Vogue UA partners as LVMH, Kering, Richemont, Prada Group, Chanel, Hermes, Dolce & Gabbana, Max Mara, Burberry, Valentino, Versace, Hugo Boss, Rolex, Swatch Group, Calzedonia, Puig, Shiseido.
These measures should apply to the brands and other entities that produce and also distribute and sell fashion goods, accessories, fine jewellery and watches, luxury lifestyle products on the Russian market.
Showing your conscience and choosing humanity over monetary benefits is the only reasonable stand one can take in confronting the violent behavior of Russia.
Moreover, Vogue UA appeals to the global fashion industry to not keep silence during these dark times as the fashion industry has a strongest voice.
Vogue UA encourages its partners and colleagues to join this call for action.
