Reworked collection for protest

For the Berlin Fashion Week of 2022, Jean Gritsfeldt did not abandon his ability to create designs that capture the spectator’s attention; but he symbolically eliminated opulence and elegant aesthetics from his designs, as a historically conscious choice and a call for political activism. His Fall/Winter collection became a political protest and manifesto, more than a fashion show.

Used recycled materials

I was experimenting with recycling way back when it was yet to become part of the mainstream. No planet – no party. We make our pieces mostly out of recycled materials.

Used recycled fibres

He uses bio-based, recycled fibres, and most of the materials are made from recycled PET bottles. In addition, his sweaters, for example, were made from upcycled jerseys – all dyes have a natural, plant-based origin.

Created charity shopping bags

I am working on a capsule collection of shopping bags with slogans in support of Ukraine, which has been under daily enemy attacks from Russia for more than 5 months. The charity capsule was created in collaboration with the Shpyg Foundation – the Fedor Shpyg Foundation. 50% of the funds from the sale of patriotic shoppers of the Jean Gritsfeldt brand will be donated to the Foundation for the restoration and construction of children's cultural and art institutions, which were destroyed throughout Ukraine during the russian terrorist attacks.
