fashion performance by Gattinoni |
Few weeks ago I visited the charming city of Ljubljana, the home of a rather new fashion event, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Ljubljana.
Set at the impressive Cankar Hall, the largest Slovenian congress and culture centre designed by Edvard Ravinkar, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Ljubljana kicked off its third edition with an awards show. Designer
Kaja Julija Hrovat won the main prize that will provide her the opportunity to show her collection at the spring edition in 2017. Previous winner was the designer Sara Valenci.
Furthermore at the opening night was the fashion performance on the catwalk by
Gattinoni.
For a relatively very small country Slovenia has an interesting and
growing fashion scene that is mostly driven by the emerging generation
of designers. This new wave of designers is supported by the fashion
platform
SQUAT and Young@SQUAT. One of the creative minds behind SQUAT
is
Nataša Peršuh, one of the most prominent designers in Slovenian
fashion scene. She presented her latest collection on Sunday evening.

Curated by the artistic director Sašo Radovič the three-day fashion week featured established names like
Akultura runned by renowned Alenka Globočnik Fabjan and
CLICHÉ by JelenaPikmajer. But what makes the event promising is are the emerging designers such as
MÊHLÊ and
Sofia Nogard.
On the programme where also several foreign designers such as the Berlin based
IVANMAN, Serbian designer
Vlada Savić and the Italian menswear brand
D’Alpaos that stood out for many reasons.
"It was a great honor to be invited to show our SS17 collection at the mbfwlj.
We found from the beginning a really beautiful atmosphere thank’s to the amazing staff able to
create an international fashion event like this one was.
It was very interesting to find such a different kind of brand selection, everyone with something
different to tell, from the Slovenians to internationals brands, definitely the perfect fit for a great
result." (Nicola D'Alpaos)
In addition to the shows the program contained the photography exhibition by Fulvio Grisoni, Sašo Hessa and Peter Giodani, titled Fashion Photography through the generations.
Although only on the international fashion calendar only since 2015, the MBFWLJ has potential to become a platform for not only Slovenian designers but function as bridge between western and eastern Europe.
