As per the UK Government’s position on sanctions on Russia, no product can now be shipped to Russia from the UK until the conflict is resolved. Upholding the sanctions, the British Fashion Council (BFC) has urged its network to show their support for the global campaign condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and support Ukrainians in these difficult times.

“We now must address the role of business and the stance we can take. The fashion industry in Ukraine is particularly front of mind, as are Ukrainian members here and their extended families. As an organisation that offers support to emerging talent from many backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities, we offer the resources we have to Ukrainian designers, retailers, and media. We will do our utmost to support them in these difficult times,” BFC said in a statement.

“We encourage all those in our network to show their support, however they can, for the global campaign condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This campaign is aimed at the Russian Government, not the teams of our Designer Members and Patrons in Russia, or indeed Russian colleagues and friends here, who may be fearful of facing discrimination for actions over which they have no influence at all,” the organisation added.
