A day ago, a photo of the clothing collection of the Russian Symbol design studio called Je Suis Donbass appeared on the network. As the creator of the brand Igor Miroshnichenko explained to socialbites.ca, the inscription on T-shirts in French is aimed at attracting the attention of buyers in Europe and the United States, who are not indifferent to the situation in Donbass.
“The Je Suis Donbass clothing collection was launched in 2015. Then there were the black T-shirts. And now, as the whole situation has escalated, we decided to release a summer version – white kits. The design of the T-shirts is slightly different, here the flag of Donbass turns into the Russian flag, because they are the same color, except for one stripe. And the Je Suis Donbass post is still partially for Western consumers. They read the article and immediately realized that Donbass is me, that people associate themselves with what happened there. And there are so many children in one photo, because there is an advertisement for a collection of clothes, because children are destroyed there in large quantities. There is a street of angels in Donetsk. And why is everyone in the photo so cheerful – well, there are a lot of gloomy things in this world. I want him to gain a human character without any anger. So the people who look at it and the children themselves who wear these clothes will rejoice more. These are our messages to build this collection. And of course everyone should pay attention to Donbass, what’s going on there,” he said.
According to the creator of the brand, now the clothes of the Russian Symbol design studio are practically inaccessible to Western buyers due to problems with delivery abroad.
“The black version of the t-shirts was ordered more often in the first campaign. Orders were not only from Russia. They came from America, Europe. Now they’re starting to show interest. Orders are pouring in. But there is one problem – you won’t be able to ship the order specifically, as many delivery services don’t work. Therefore, I do not know how to solve this problem, ”explained Miroshnichenko.
The artist also said that he is working on new clothing collections that will be dedicated to a special military operation.
“I have new projects. One of them is the coat of arms of the liberated cities of Russia. They are very beautiful, and this is just the style of our “Russian Symbol”. Inspire people to pay attention. After all, this is a real war of symbols. A symbol that this is our land, and we are trying to impose some other foreigners working. And these beautiful crests can be a complete project. But it requires financial investment. Someone needs to support the project because it’s amazing. Besides that we will continue to produce patriotic t-shirts. We will have a new t-shirt with the tank in a Z shape. Most “This is the logo we wanted. We wanted to make it interesting, not like it is now – just a Z from waist to neck, that’s all. Well, it’s just a design, a lack of imagination,” said Miroshnichenko.
The designer also explained why many of the Russian Symbol studio’s t-shirts have the slogan “Orthodoxy or Death”, which is considered extremist in Russia.
“We believe that this slogan does not carry anything extremist. When it comes to t-shirts, our teens now love something sharply sharpened. That’s how the teen protest mood works. But this t-shirt turned out to be interesting for everyone. Both priests and soldiers were buying in 2015 at the time. In general, this is our most branded thing, it is known all over the world: in Australia, in Asia and in Europe,” said Miroshnichenko.
On December 21, 2010, by the decision of the Cheryomushkinsky District Court of Moscow, “Orthodoxy or Death!” The Institute for Cultural Studies, this inscription excites religious hatred and promotes the superiority of citizens of one religion over another.
