A STAGE FOR FASHION, ART, AND BEAUTY
For the third consecutive year, from October 17 to 20, the new jewel of Golden Sands Resort—the ultra-luxurious Grifid Noa Hotel—will host the event and be transformed into an elegant setting and stage for fashion, art, beauty, and gourmet experiences that the “Varna Fashion Forum” will offer over four consecutive evenings.
The founder, president, and organiser is Mrs Nelly Anastasova, known in fashion circles not only as the creator and creative director of her eponymous haute couture fashion brand but also as an aesthete, philanthropist, and woman who inspires with her social causes.
“Varna Fashion Forum” – 3rd edition – establishes and reaffirms its concept as a global fashion event that brings together on its stage some of the biggest names in the fashion world, recognised not only in Bulgaria but also on the international fashion scene. Designers such as Ivan Donev, Nikolay Bojilov, Prof. Mariela Gemisheva, Svetoslav Kolchagov, Ilia Iliev, Liliana Petrova, Nikoleta Farah, and many others will present their latest collections in a unique show during the Forum.
At the same time, alongside the big names in fashion, the shows will also feature talented young Bulgarian designers who are making their debut with their collections and names. The event will also showcase high-end accessories in the fields of technology, footwear, cars, eyewear, jewellery, and lifestyle.
Our honoured guests and fashion connoisseurs will enjoy beautiful fashion shows accompanied by live instrumental music. The impeccable organisation is the work of highly respected professionals. The venue's luxurious style and sophisticated atmosphere, along with the carefully selected details, all contribute to the beauty of the event. The participants, audience and guests embody the high standards of the Forum. This year's host is the popular Monica Simeonova, a journalist and TV presenter.
