BRANKOPOPOVICBLOG: Distinguished Dreams at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2014

What happens when top talent meets in a Fashion / Dance clash? After successful premiere at ECICultuurfabriek Roermond on May 16, Distinguished Dreams project was presented during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2014 in Maastricht.
Distinguished Dreams is one of those projects where all my dreams and fascinations are combined, my love for fashion design, dance and bringing talents together.
