During this trip I’m sure that I committed my share of fashion crimes and I most definitely saw my share of them: the half a dozen mullets I saw in Lwow; the orange hairdos and the 80’s style hairdos (take my word for it, they were truly taken straight from the 80s); the shimmering golden jumpsuits; the pink leopard tights; and the list goes on. But truly, a government imposed fashion crime is a first. The hats that the Ukrainian police and army have to wear could not be any more ridiculous. Why would you make them so large? Would purpose aside for shielding you a bit from the rain could such a wide rim serve? Wouldn’t they catch the wind easier and fly off? More space for the birds to poop on. Tell me why?

Fashion Crimes

About Me
- Kasia Koltunska
- Susan Sontag once said "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." I think that's a pretty accurate statement for me, since if given the chance, I would not pass up a single corner of this planet. (Well, maybe with the exception of a few). At this point in time, after having traveled through over 70 countries on 5 continents, it's hard to call this a travel bug. It is simply an insatiable passion that unfortunately is often at odds with a legal career. For now, it is time to focus on life in the real world: the world in which I have to wear a suit as opposed to khakis and where I carry a briefcase as opposed to a backpack. But the camera is always with me, as are all the photos and stories that I have collected of the years. These here are only some of them.
