Beyoncé, Doja Cat and Sam Smith are some of the artists Ukrainian Ivan Frolov has designed for.
For most designers, London Fashion Week was a chance to debut new collections.Ivan chose to wear a Ukrainian flag T-shirt for his show and saw it as an opportunity to "keep the conversation about war going".The 29-year-old chatted to BBC Newsbeat following his show, saying this past week has been a good one in a difficult year.Ivan recalls the morning war broke out. He gave his employees the opportunity to stop working.
But to his surprise, within two weeks they all text the designer saying they wanted to continue as normal.In the early days of war, fashion was far from their minds - they donated sewing machines to make bulletproof vests and turned their skills elsewhere. "We were sewing rocket carriers and making uniforms for guys who needed special sizes, like very tall guys for example," he says.As you might imagine, Ivan says working from a war zone is anything but predictable."When Russia started bombing power stations, we had a lot of problems with electricity and blackouts."
