What is International Baltic Ethnic Fashion Festival?

We are an international project dedicated to fashion and arts, featuring mostly (though not exclusively) ethnic trends in modern costume, visual and applied arts.

We organize live fashion shows and virtual contest for fashion designers, photographers, fashion illustrators, and applied arts artists.

As regards live fashion shows, the program includes fashion contest for young designers and guest shows for registered fashion brands.
We run our activities in St. Petersburg and Warsaw.

OUR MISSION

We are the platform for international collaboration and networking - among designers from different parts of the world who put ethnic trends in modern wearable fashion.

We promote, in Europe, fashion brands from Russia, Belarus, Kirgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other countries - specifically those who have authentic touch in their collections, who involve traditional crafts or natural materials or ecological approach as a concept of their collections.

We popularize designers and artists who use folk art and traditional crafts and materials in modern interpretation, and help them to commercialize their art.

We promote, as a separate project ``no borders fashion`` , in particular, shows involving disabled people, plus size models, aged models, to deliver the public the idea that fashion shall be accessible for everyone.

We provide travel&arts experience for designers and artists, letting them know more about fashion schools and events in other countries.

WHО OUR AUDIENCE IS

Geographically, our participants come mostly from Russia, Belarus, and countries of Central Asia. We also have participants from Georgia, Poland, Serbia and China.

Some of them are young designers and artists, some of them are commercially successful / developing fashion brands.
