This week we are joined by revolutionary Ukrainian platform & design fair, 'i am u are', who tell us more about brands like Masha Popova & Paskal, their upcoming creators fair in LA, and more!
From the bustling streets of New York to the vibrant energy of Los Angeles, i am u are is the revolutionary platform that showcases Ukrainian talents on the global stage. Imagine a world where ancient Carpathian practices entwine seamlessly with high-tech innovations. Previously featured on major global publications such as Vogue, i-D, WWD, House & Garden, Show Studio & more, this platform is a space where high-fashion designers and visual artists collaboratively paint a tapestry of stories that transcend borders.
