These days, the Croatian metropolis lives again in true fashion spirit. The Atelier Green Energy platform is responsible for the long-awaited return of Croatian and regional designers to the catwalks, and the first evening was marked by an independent show by the celebrated tandem Tandarić Šekuljica, better known as ELFS. The combination of fashion, music, entertainment and more than 400 lovers of such manifestations were the right recipe for an unforgettable fashion gathering that will continue tonight, in Pavilion number 9 at the Zagreb Fair.
Given that this year’s Atelier is about renewable energy sources, ELFSI joined forces with Osijek singer-songwriter Aklea Neon, who, together with her band, was in charge of the musical background. The performances of this unusual artist are known for their activist messages, and with the sounds of the first song, on the long concrete catwalk, the ELFS fashion story began, symbolically, in a pink tone. Namely, ELFSI dedicated it to the month of fighting breast cancer.
“This is the only pink creation in our new collection, and we wanted to mark the month of the fight against breast cancer with it. As for the show itself, we decided on layered styling, which, among other things, sends the message that fashion should be fun and that we should all play more. Be imaginative, daring and playful when combining, because fashion is first and foremost a game”, – said Aleksandar Šekuljica.
Through pastel colors, ELFSI showed all faces of a woman, from a playful little girl to one who is ready to walk the red carpet. The models were styled in layers, so they all walked in turtlenecks that hid their hair, thick socks and sunglasses. The dominant pieces this time were dresses, which are of different lengths, silhouettes and materials. Timeless classic coats and jackets of different colors rounded off the presented collection, and the duo also played with knits that are associated with winter, but also with lamé that invites crazy parties. The collection is presented with more than 30 female and 3 male models.
