There are ugly Christmas sweaters. And there’s the #reallyuglysweater. Take a closer look at it and you’ll see: the normally oh-so-peaceful crib is being bombed in the midst of a Syrian refugee camp. An ugly but very real scene for all those struggling in Syria on a daily basis. Gents created the fashion statement of the year to showcase the other side of the holidays and to ensure a truly merry Christmas for all children. One ugly sweater at a time. More than 10.000 eur was raised to support the work of SOS Children’s Villages in Syria.
