Ukrainian Fashion Mini Series: Jen Sidary of Angel for Fashion

Season 2, Ep. 1

We're kicking off season two of Little Red Village with a special mini-series focused on using fashion as a lens to explore the ongoing war in Ukraine. Today for the first of these episodes Rachel and Jonathan welcome Jen Sidary, founder of Angel for Fashion to the Little Red Village. We learn about her journey and work to amplify the creative voices of Ukrainian fashion to keep these businesses alive through the uncertainty of war.


We always love talking about creative problem solving to overcome challenges and this series explores that in the extreme. Angel for Fashion offers a way for anyone to explore and support Ukrainian fashion design. We are honored to share the stories of Jen and the amazing designers she's brought to our Little Red Village community who are sharing their experiences during this time of profound struggle and violence. Fashion is for Everyone, more importantly...so is freedom.
