There was little money, but a great desire to look stylish
A real discovery for the writer was getting acquainted with Ukrainian designers. In particular, a dress by Oksana Karavanska inspired her to support local creators. During the Maidan, Karpa sold old things to provide for her family, and later formed her own wardrobe from Ukrainian brands.
In particular, Karpa recalled that getting acquainted with Ukrainian creators became possible through her friend, who sold branded items to the artist for a tidy sum.
That's how I got all sorts of terrible pink raincoats or patent leather ballet flats that fiercely cut into my feet. - But it's from Italy! - she cried. And I, naive, firmly believed it. This friend had an incredible dress by Oksana Karavanska, which was much more beautiful than all those expensive and rich... All those expensive and rich Italian things. I couldn't even drool over that dress - she wanted so much for it. But since then, this craving has settled in me: to be able to afford Ukrainian designers
