Ukrainian producer Elvira Gavrilova creates fresh flower masks

Producer and CEO Amillidius Elvira Gavrilova, together with her partner in the Nanojy women’s clothing brand, Julia Lyatavskaya, created fresh flower masks.

We talked to the women and found out why they created such an excellent collection and how they were able to package it for a charity project.

Elvira, we know that you have been doing the Charity Calendar project for many years. Previously, it was the theme “Seasons”, as well as the theme “Peoples of the World”. The hottest topic this year is, of course, the coronavirus. You have created 12 unique natural flower masks. Tell us who participated in the project and what is your project aimed at?

E.G.: Women and children from all over Ukraine took part in the Charity Calendar project. Among them are a business woman, teachers and models. Thus, women from completely different spheres participated in our project. An individual look was selected for each participant — a mask made of fresh flowers, viburnum, leaves. Soon you will be able to see everything with your own eyes!

Julia, tell me, how long did it take you to create each mask?

J. L.: It took me from several hours to several days to create each mask, depending on the complexity.

Tell us who took part in the project.

The goal of the Charity Calendar project is to raise money for charity. Every year Elvira Gavrilova and her team help children from different orphanages. As a rule, this is Odessa, since one of the central offices of Amillidius is located there. Once a year, all Charity Calendar members gather for a thematic photo shoot. The money from its implementation is transferred to orphanages or goes to gifts for kids. This year the team plans to visit several orphanages for St. Nicholas Day.
