The sixth International Fashion Festival (IFF) Porto Montenegro 2024 ended spectacularly last night, bringing glamor but also important messages about sustainable fashion
Tiziano Guardini from Rome brought to Montenegro with love his message interwoven with life and beauty. This evolutionary innovator, known for his deeply conscious approach to fashion, which he calls ECO fashion, emphasized the importance of interconnectedness and harmony. “On this occasion, I would like to say that we all share this planet and are part of a delicate balance. We are connected and we feel it. We can design, create and then create in harmony. It is the most beautiful journey, because it is an opportunity to reconnect with what we really are. My wish is that everyone in the world has the opportunity and opportunity to be part of fashion that correlates with lifestyle,” said Guardini. He added that he believes “that as creative people we have the opportunity and duty to create new designs, new clothes, new ways to transform our ideas into ideas that will serve everyone and be part of the circular economy”. His message was conveyed by the fantastic ballerinas of the “Princess Xenia” ballet school, who wore his creations.
Montenegrin representative Boris Ćalić delighted the audience with his first collection on sustainable fashion. “The ‘Cicada’ collection was created in collaboration with the L’Occitane brand. I was inspired by the plants used by this brand, as well as by the earth as the basis from which everything is created and born, so the color of the collection included earthy tones in combination with yellow, ochre, purple and olive. Every seam, fabric and detail is thoroughly worked out in order to achieve a sense of unobtrusive elegance. The clothes I create reflect the idea that less can be more,” said Ćalić.
And as the director of the Factory, Vesna Mandić, announced in the media, as the “icing on the cake”, the Festival closed with a spectacular show and collection of “Ezra Couture“, a brand that has been conquering for 20 years, and additionally contributes to the recognition of Middle Eastern fashion, without abandoning its Philippine roots. . The Japanese-inspired collection was full of glamour, feminine and timeless, with a strong message of hope and love. Already, white, black and red colors dominated this fairytale collection. Everyone present in the Synchro Porto Montenegro area and the viewers in the live broadcast on RTCG were convinced why this brand is worn by numerous royal families and the most elegant women in the world.
