The "Fashion Unites for Türkiye" initiative, implemented in cooperation with Türkiye’s branch of a renowned fashion magazine – Vogue, and UNICEF Türkiye aims to call the fashion industry for solidarity to reach children affected by the pair of last month’s devastating earthquakes.

Vogue Türkiye, operating under Turkuvaz Media Group, together with UNICEF, invites the local and global fashion industry to join forces in line with the "Fashion Unites for Türkiye" campaign to draw more attention to the consequences of earthquakes on children and to implement practices that will help these children overcome the disaster.
