At the Master Center of the Novi Sad Fair, Serbia Fashion Week once again delivered an unforgettable evening filled with diverse fashion expressions, emphasizing the beauty of diversity and creative inspiration. The third evening of the 22nd edition of this prestigious event was marked by the presence of talented designers not only from Serbia but also from Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, and the Netherlands. The Serbia Fashion Week runway transformed into a breathtaking blend of fashion currents, showcasing creations inspired by various aspects of life and the world that surrounds us. We witnessed fashion pieces belonging to alternative styles, as well as those imbued with the spirit of ethnic motifs, while haute couture gowns shone on the runway, reflecting unique artistic expressions.
For the dazzling appearances of models in exquisite creations, credit goes to the makeup team of La Prestige Institute for Aesthetics and Cosmetology. “Serbia Fashion Week” offered the audience the opportunity to delve into the world of collections originating from distant regions and diverse cultures. Attendees had the chance to admire the diversity of designs, shapes, and colors, creating a magical image of the world of fashion in all its splendor.
The evening began with a guest appearance from Italy, designer Federico Bucari, followed by a fashion show by the talented designer Selma Mekić, who uniquely emphasized the beauty of women through her designs. The brand “Zmanya” presented a collection rich in geometric shapes and colors, while Greek-Roman designer Jana Degau skillfully merged ethnic motifs with contemporary form and design.

“The collection is titled ‘Milena Pavlović Ajnštajn’ and is inspired by her character and work as a central figure, as well as other women who have left a significant mark in science, art, and the fight for gender equality. This collection is just a part of a larger project to which I will be dedicated in the coming period,” said Milica Tričković. Melisa Hujić from Bosnia and Herzegovina and her brand “Etiquette” contributed to the enjoyment of the diversity in design and fashion expression.
“Tonight, I presented the ‘Rhythm of a Woman’ collection, inspired by the strength of women. I am delighted with the organization and the energy that fills the entire space. It is my pleasure to be a participant in ‘SFW’ along with other designers from more than 20 countries worldwide,” stated Melisa Hujić.

Suzana Perić presented dresses made of silk and brocade in bold cuts, enriched with handmade details, in her collection “Glamorous Galaxy.” She rejuvenated women’s suits by defying conventional norms, and her blazers became wearable art, while her blouses and corsets acted as a “second skin” celebrating the power of femininity.
“I am happy that ‘Serbia Fashion Week’ organized an event on a par with the world’s biggest fashion weeks. I am also pleased that all the dear people I invited to the show attended and showed their support, enhancing and brightening this evening in which I presented a new collection for the modern woman. The models are made from materials that are entirely new to the market, requiring much handiwork, and I believe the audience was able to enjoy creations backed by a whole team of professionals and creatives,” said Suzana Perić.
Notable figures from the worlds of business, arts, music, television, and other spheres were spotted in the front row of the audience.
