She will share, which according to her are the most important principles for success.

There is a great interest in the designer workshop of Ivan Donev “Creaative Lab”. He is haute-couture fashion designer, works in Italy and already has worldwide fame in the fashion circles. The stylist will present a contest for young designers, which will be launched at TexTailor Expo 2019. Workshop participants will see presentations and demonstrations related to the various stages of creating fashion collections – from the selection of fabrics through 3D modeling and production of clothing. The theoretical part of Ivan Donev’s designer workshop is on November 7, and the practical part is the next day.

The presentation of Fashion Trends AW 2020/21 by Assistant Professor Kristina Savova from New Bulgarian University will be on November 9th. Fashion trends will also be revealed during the November 8 fashion shows.
