As we promised, in several articles we present you the most interesting fashion moments from the charity premiere of “Almanac of Bulgarian fashion 2003-2004”. The premiere was held on November 26th in Inter Expo Centre under the honourable patronage of Mrs Zorka Parvanova.

ALBENA ALEXANDROVA AND THE MIRROR COLLECTION

The Mirror is an autumn – winter – spring collection of the prize-winner of “Golden Pin 2002” and “Roshavata Garga” designer - Albena Alexandrova.

A real mix of designs and materials – wool, silk, leather and satin with sparkling ornamental studs, beads and crystals on dresses. Colors made sense of a high spirit and brought beautiful desires.

ANDREW’S FASHION BET ON THE PRACTICAL ELEGANCE

Andrew’s Fashion bet on the classical elegance and sports line. Men’s garments were designed for the businessmen and fit completely on the active daily round.

MON AMUOR: LADIES, THINK UNCONVENTIONAL!

Polia Milanova ( for Mon Amour fashion house ) designed that collection for the “unconventional “ ladies and put the accent on two themes – bride dresses and gowns.

EL GRADO JEWELRY MADE ECLECTICISM ACTUAL

Beautiful collection and the spontaneous charity gesture of El Grado Jewelry House made a lovely impression during the auction of the first three copies of Almanac. El Grado placed one of the most expensive jewelry at auction’s disposal. Miss Evgenia Kalkanjieva, president of Visages Model Group, bought back the precious necklace. Jewelry collections, represented in Bulgaria by fashion houses like El Grado, made the eclecticism actual. Black and white combination is classical but still very actual and even more deeper. Gold-brown collections are untraditional and impressive. At the premiere of the new Almanac El Grado Jewelry collection was presented with gowns from Bulgarian designer Evdokia Dimitrova.
