Gigi Hadid vows to donate Fashion Week earnings to Ukrainian refugees amid Russian war

Gigi Hadid has become the latest celebrity to pledge a large cash sum to those in Ukraine who have been affected by the war with Russia.

The supermodel, 26, has been hitting the runway this Fashion Week and has pledged to make a huge contribution to Ukrainians suffering at the hand of Vladimir Putin's orders.

The star took to Instagram on Sunday to make the announcement to her 72.7 million followers.

She explained that while her job revolved around her work on the catwalk, it was also her responsibility to give back to those in need and she is doing that in a big way by donating her full earning from the Fall 2022 campaign to organisations in Ukraine.

In the lengthy post which she had uploaded alongside snaps from her latest fashion shows, she wrote: " Having a set Fashion Month schedule has meant that my colleagues and I often present new fashion collections during heartbreaking and traumatic times in history.

"We don’t have control over most of our work schedules, but we would like to walk ‘for’ something. Following in the footsteps of my friend @micarganaraz, I am pledging to donate my earnings from the Fall 2022 shows to aid those suffering from the war in Ukraine, as well as continuing to support those experiencing the same in Palestine.

"Our eyes and hearts must be open to all human injustice. May we all see each other as brothers and sisters, beyond politics, beyond race, beyond religion. At the the end of the day, innocent lives pay for war- not leaders."

She concluded her post with the commanding message: "HANDS OFF UKRAINE. HANDS OFF PALESTINE. PEACE. PEACE. PEACE."

Her post was met with a lot of positivity from her followers, with over 1.4 million people - including Hailey Bieber - hitting the like button.

Stars such as Diane von Furstenberg and Giampaolo Sgura were also among those leaving positive comments.

Last month Gigi also left a statement on her Instagram page regarding the Ukrainian conflict.

Taking to her Story, she wrote: "'My heart is hurting for Ukraine and all those affected by this unimaginable reality."

She went on to call out President Putin, saying: "Putin's actions are a threat to every Democratic country in the world, and must be stopped,' she wrote.

Other celebs donating to Ukrainian causes include Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.

Actress Mila was born in Ukraine and alongside her husband - and former That 70s Show co-star - she pledged to match up to £2.25 million in donations.
