CHECKMATE by Ukrainian fashion brand, GUDU, is a reflection of the Russian-Ukrainian war, where the black and white colours represent the forces of good courageously opposing the forces of evil.
The absence of hands in the sketch symbolises a certain helplessness and misunderstanding in the first hours of the war, but the stance shows that the Ukrainians are ready to fight for themselves and their land. The energising yellow hue is one of the colors of the Ukrainian flag and a symbol of peace and kindness.
