Effective collar removes jewels in women’s wear. Asymmetrical cut and unusual decisions turn this detail in an obligatory accent of the coat or the jacket. Romantic style is interpreted through gathering of collars, which makes them feminine and visible. Bulgarian fashion designer Maria Nedkova, winner of two “Golden needle” award of Academy for fashion, presents these tendencies in her newest collection. It will be shown on 3rd December Central Military Club at 18.30 p.m.

For the cold season Maria Nedkova uses texture materials – bouclé, netted lace with decoration. There is an interesting contrast, which happens when mixing smooth fabrics with texture. Business style is more attractive thanks to the crimps and frills and the elegant silhouette is decorated with funny details such as puckers, seams etc.

Little black dress, made of fine wool is suitable to be worn by day, and the one made of lace gives classical chic to the outlook. During fall-winter 2007-2008, frock-coat makes its comeback.

* For the second time the famous Italian coffee inspires our Bulgarian designer

After the presentation of the new “Lavazza 2008” calendar in Paris, a source from “Sofstok” (representative of “Lavazza” coffee in Bulgaria) has announced their decision that this year Virginia Zdravkova will create the “Lavazza” collection. For the second time the famous Italian coffee will inspire the designer, winner of two “Golden Needle” awards of Academy for Fashion. Someone maybe remembers that she has created the coffee collection in 2004.

Liliana Lazarova - CEO of “Sofstok” explained the decision of the company like this: “After we have understood that the main accent in the new “Lavazza” calendar is “The Most Majestic” i.e. royal, impressive, glittering impression, we have decided that no one else except Virginia is able to create a collection, which is so near to the spirit of this kind of aesthetics and to the “Versaille”’s understanding of luxury.” Virginia herself said: “I’m excited being a “Lavazza” designer for the second time. The new concept of the calendar is very close to my work (A royal coffee break, real luxury and elegance)… I intend to combine modern elements with baroque details and I hope to create a futuristic collection, which suggests the Versailles epoch… I will present crinoline dresses with tight corsets, lovely haircuts and make-up, so typical of my wn style…”
