12/15

Creative idea

To combat Poland's alarming male suicide rate (12 out of 15 suicides daily), we partnered with designer Joanna Przetakiewicz, transforming her fashion show finale. In a powerful visual statement, 12 male models vanished from the runway, falling from the stage, representing the 12 lives lost to suicide each day. They reappeared in t-shirts promoting mental health dialogue. This unexpected spectacle, witnessed by government officials, ignited national conversation. The Health Minister pledged a record $1,2 billion to mental health initiatives, demonstrating the potential for change.
