The fashion collection Stop Stigma, created by Yaroslav Filip in collaboration with the brand’s co-designer Ivanna Polishchuk, is a manifesto for people who experience stigmatization, endure pressure and struggle, and fight for the right to be themselves.

The socially-driven project Stop Stigma was initiated in 2025 by the founder of Yaroslav Filip, along with the creative team YF Artistic Team. It emerged as a platform that united hairstyling, fashion, choreography, and music as a way to speak about stigma through action, image, and lived experience. Today, Stop Stigma transforms into a fashion collection, where clothing itself becomes the main tool of expression.

No extra explanations.
Through form, material, sound, and meaning.

The collection is built around upcycled men’s suits as a metaphor for framing, restraint, and social attachment to roles, gender, and expectations. Through deconstruction and transformation, not only the form but also the purpose and meaning of garments are changed.

Suits cease to be markers of status or gender and become carriers of personal stories. The collection deliberately avoids attachment to gender, age, or stereotypes. It is about freedom of choice, the acceptance of diverse forms of existence, and the right to be different. Each look and each accessory is a standalone story — a distinct conceptual module that can exist autonomously or be combined with other elements to create new interpretations.

This is clothing that does not impose but gives space.

From black to beige.
From labels to choice.
From boundaries to movement.

This is the journey of every look in the Stop Stigma collection — and the journey that the collection invites us to take together.
