These are some fashion pieces you NEED TO HAVE! Two young women started to collect stories and turn them into fashion. Andra and Iulia are 2 Romanians who met in Vienna, Austria, in 2014.
Their collection called Younited Cultures has 8 stories from different cultures, turned into scarves, jewelry or socks. Their purpose is to improve the image of immigrants and show the real value immigrants bring to society. They are currently running a crowdfunding campaign to start producing more socks.
