Ukrainian pop star Tina Karol celebrates her birthday with a message of peace
THE ONE AND ONLY: Ukrainian-born pop star Tina Karol celebrated her birthday on Wednesday with the launch of a collaborative collection.
A year in the making, the 20-piece assortment was inspired by the styles of Ukrainians, who try to continue to live as normally as possible despite the Russian invasion. The design team came up with styles that would indicate support for the National Armed Forces and all those who fight for the country. With this in mind, ZSU, the term commonly used for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is printed on balaclavas, denim maxiskirt and some other styles. According to a company spokesperson, simply speaking or writing ZSU is a sign of respect for the "noble men and brave women" who defend the country in its national armed forces.

We breathe in unison, we move towards our goals in unity and we create a story”,
In an attempt to spark some patriotism, the collection's tagline is "Free to Create a Story "The design of an origami crane that features in the collection is meant to be a symbol of hope, faith, the indomitable and peace. The idea of using an origami crane came from visiting Karol last year at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Japan, where she saw small paper cranes made by a victim of the nuclear bombing, a Japanese woman Sadako Sasaki.There Karol learned the Japanese legend which attests that a person who can fold 1,000 origami cranes can achieve his dream. Sadako, who suffered from leukemia, dreamed of being cured, and folded 644 cranes before perishing from the disease. Her classmates then folded the remaining cranes in his honour. Karol opted for the graphic image of the crane because it unites the symbolism of the capsule under its wings es.
