AH_0c60211d-eacf-11ef-9bcc-00155dcd4802Women's oversized T-shirt inspired by the life and legacy of Ukrainian writer and dissident Vasyl Stus. At its heart is his powerful quote, "You are, above all, your own will", taken from a letter Stus wrote to his wife and son from a prison camp on January 15, 1984—just a year before the regime took his life, never having succeeded in breaking his spirit.
The left sleeve carries a textured print bearing the series' name—"Words That Give You Wings." This T-shirt is unique for its powerful message and thoughtful design, combining the classic oversized silhouette with bold, spacious pockets.
AH_682fe650-eace-11ef-9bcc-00155dcd4802The life of writer and dissident Vasyl Stus was a manifesto of freedom. No matter how fiercely the regime attempted to crush his spirit, Stus preserved his willpower, which still echoes even after his death. Today, we continue to fight under his slogans, find inspiration in his words, and honor his legacy.
We've crafted an oversized T-shirt featuring the powerful quote, "You are, above all, your own will," Vasyl Stus wrote in a letter from the prison camp to his wife and son on January 15, 1984. The left sleeve proudly carries a textured print with the series' title—"Words That Give You Wings." On the back, you'll find our iconic wings. This T-shirt stands out not just through its meaningful design, but also with the addition of spacious, functional pockets to the classic oversized silhouette.
AH_f9c589d0-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802If Dumbledore had seen the helmet of the 12th Brigade pilot with the call sign BIN, he would have been completely freaked out. Because only someone truly brave could combine a cigar, Harry Potter, and a swear word in one image. BIN says that his helmet was painted by a girl from Novyi Kalyniv, the young pilot’s wife. The pilot picked the image for the mask from a US pilot, but added a golden tooth in his own variation. The main highlights are the messages in Latin (with a boisterous touch). On the back to the right, there is the inscription ‘Fortes fortuna adiuvat’, which means ‘Fate helps the brave’. On the front, there is the legendary killing spell ‘Avada Kedavra’ from Harry Potter, and BIN added the word KURWA to make sure.

AH_0963c934-870f-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802One glance at the helmet of the pilot with the call sign BUBI is enough to understand where he comes from. The symbol of the 12th Army Aviation Brigade is the dragon, so as soon as the young pilot joined the service in Novyi Kalyniv, the issue of a helmet print was out of the question. And since the pilot, as he claims, does not look his age, he added a small dragon on the side and near the call sign. Next to it, there is the inscription ‘Fidelis et fortis’, which in Latin means ‘Faithful and brave’.

AH_b6fc04dc-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802HUNTER says the story behind his helmet began with a simple patch of a Cossack image that happened to catch his eye. He liked the look with the moustache and oseledets so much that the 12th Brigade pilot decided to make his own helmet in a similar style. He decided to paint only on the protective mask, which seems to be designed to look like a Cossack moustache, and picked a few spots on the helmet for the same patch and national symbols. He borrowed the idea of decorating the helmet with themed patches from American pilots, where it has long been one of the established traditions.

AH_e88f1bdf-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802The character depicted on the helmet was created by an art teacher and Army Aviation pilot with the call sign Qnesko. The main highlight of the helmet is its yellow-blue eyes and razor-sharp teeth. As the pilot himself claims, the image comes to life as soon as someone encroaches on Ukraine.
On one side of the helmet is the pilot’s call sign, and on the other is the inscription DEATH ON CALL, and behind it, there is some space for a patch.

AH_f812051c-fd8b-11ee-9bc2-00155dcd4802Independent people have only one dependency, and that is dependence on freedom. In this respect, people are very similar to birds. Hundreds of years ago, Leonardo da Vinci wrote a treatise called ‘Codex on the Flight of Birds’, where he proposed a design for an aircraft that later formed the basis of the modern hang glider as based on the study of bird flight. Aviation has become the embodiment of the human dream of being free like birds. The stronger the dream, the easier it is to spread your wings.
AH_b42d900e-fd8b-11ee-9bc2-00155dcd4802Birds are always about freedom, wings and free flight. This is what our brand lives for. Women’s oversized T-shirt ‘Wings of the Free’ manifests this freedom in its purest form. People have long wanted to see the world from the bird’s eye view, so paragliders, balloons and aeroplanes were born out of this desire. It is the desire for freedom that we share with birds that keeps us from giving up our wings, even if they are not of flesh.
