From Jennifer Beals to Salma Hayek, when the look also supports Ukraine

Fashion is also, or perhaps above all, communication. Just the choice of a certain color, a specific garment or the addition of a small detail to speak and to send clear and powerful messages. It happened in the past few days with Letizia Ortiz who, on the occasion of his official engagement in Madrid, publicly flaunted the traditional Ukrainian shirt. A symbolic, silent gesture, yet with a strong echo in this tragic moment.

And it happened in the past few hours with the actress Jennifer Beals. The unforgettable Alex of Flashdance, on the occasion of the red carpet of Film Independent Spirit Awards, in Santa Monica, has in fact decided to show off a bright Gucci combo of a blue pencil skirt and a yellow mini blouse, the colors of the Ukrainian flag. “If that wasn’t clear enough #iostoconucraina»Ruled on Instagram.

But the Ukrainian colors, which have been well present in our eyes for days now, have also invaded the fashion show Balenciaga. A symbolic show, in intentions and in its manifestation, an expression of that harsh winter that humanity is facing. To warm the atmosphere, the sense of solidarity and support given by a crowd of yellow and blue T-shirts folded over the seats.

United under the same banner, the guests of the show, headed by the same Creative Director Demna Gvasalia, wore the t-shirt as a sign of support. Just like Salma Hayekwho immediately responded to the appeal.

But the closeness to the country and the appeal for peace also comes from the Rai studios. On the occasion of the TV program by Milly Carlucci, The masked singerthe dancer Anastasia Kuzmina, of Ukrainian origins, she wore a pleated skirt and top declined in the colors of her flag. A not too cryptic message of closeness to her people that accompanied her call for a ceasefire.

Different characters, occasions and worlds, yet all united by the same desire for peace.
