My name is Dorota Goldpoint, I am a fashion designer, president of the Heart No Wrinkles Foundation, a woman and mother of two adult sons of draft age, and for almost a year I have been living with a sense of fear and uncertainty.
With the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the world of millions of women who died, buried their loved ones, experienced physical and psychological violence, who live in the uncertainty of tomorrow, who – even being away from the hostilities – feel physical pain at the thought of their future and that of their loved ones.
Looking at the suffering of other women, including mothers, the fear grows in me whether one day my children will also be on the front lines.
As a Polish woman – a representative of a nation that has taken in more than 9 million refugees from war zones,
As a mother – representative of all mothers, living in fear for their children,
As an artist – feeling more with intuition than with reason,
As a human being – a passive observer of the rising tide of violence, not only the frontal one, but also the neighborly, everyday one,
I say STOP VIOLENCE and war in Ukraine!
I say STOP VIOLENCE against women and children!
I say STOP VIOLENCE by excluding women from important areas of life!
On the wave of my inner opposition, I created a collection for the army of peace – the army against evil. I called it STOP VIOLENCE so that it would spread beyond the runway and my clients’ wardrobes as a fashion manifesto. Let the military character of the collection in an ultra-feminine, glittering version remind you that a woman’s heart has no wrinkles and is always ready to fight for peace and tranquility, for balance and justice, for the safety of our children.
For the project, I would like to involve ambassadors of the Heart No Wrinkles Foundation – actresses, celebrities, artists – to carry the message of STOP FORCE in their communities.
Within the framework of the social project STOP FORCE, part of the proceeds from the sale of the collection will be donated to support women experiencing violence.
