"It is impossible to take a step forward without rethinking the past. It is a bridge to the future or, as I call it, the transformation of youth, - comments Jean Gritsfeldt. — Ten years ago and today, my work is permeated with the same ideas: thoughts and dreams about love, struggle and freedom — in art, desires, self-expression. About finding yourself and faith in tomorrow."
The exhibition will also feature Jean Gritsfeldt's work after February 24, 2022, a turning point in the history of his Motherland. The Ukrainian designer's corner will be completed a charting the paths of the future: the podium will be filled with slogans "Free people must stand together", "Ukraine is the shield of Europe", "Stay proud, stay ready", "My life — my rules", " United in love, united in fight", "Bigger then fear", "We are fighting for our land and for the values of the entire independent world", "What's next?", "How many more Davids must be born to finally destroy Goliath?".
Every performance by Jean Gritsfeldt fulfills a specific mission, and this time the designer presents a capsule collection of shopping bags with slogans in support of Ukraine, which has been under daily enemy attacks from Russia for more than six months. The charity capsule was created in collaboration with the Shpyg Foundation — the Fedor Shpyg Foundation, which has been supporting the development of culture, science and sports in Ukraine for more than 20 years.
50% of the proceeeds from the sale of items from supporting shoppers of the Jean Gritsfeldt brand will be donated to the foundation for the restoration and construction of children's cultural and art institutions, which were destroyed throughout Ukraine during the Russian terrorist attacks. In addition, the Shpyg Foundation will donate bags to its foundation donors. You can read more about the foundation's activities on the website www.shpyg.foundation.
