A star is born. A designer’s challenging path

The fashion world is full of glitz and glamour but behind it lies the harsh reality that every designer must face to make their dreams come true. On the path to recognition and success, young and ambitious designers need not only creative talent but also willpower, perseverance and determination in overcoming of numerous challenges — competition, financial difficulties, finding a unique voice and maintaining a balance between creativity and commercial viability. During the session, experts will discuss what really is behind success in fashion and how aspiring designers can build a sustainable brand that will stand the test of time.

  1. Competition and recognition. How can emerging designers stand out in an oversaturated fashion market?
  2. Financial barriers. How to deal with high production and marketing costs, especially at the beginning of your journey?
  3. Search for uniqueness. How to find and develop your own unique style that will be recognizable and in-demand?
  4. Balance between creativity and business. How to maintain creative freedom without losing commercial appeal?
