Monday, the 27th May, in collaboration with the Dimitrie Gusti Technological High School in Bucharest, Balkazaar will organize in the wonderful setting of the Royal Hall of the Capitol Hotel in Bucharest the UPCYCLE Fashion Show, a unique fashion show where we will witness the creativity and talent of the students of the Dimitrie Gusti Technological High School. This is the culmination of ”Upcycle workshop: Be a Designer for a Day! Transform old clothes into the coolest trends!” held during the “Green Week” program between the 22-26 April, where 4 very talented students: Andreea Bănică, Erika Mocanu, Monica Ana-Maria Niculae, Melisa Maria Ștefan under the guidance of the designer Alina Mărgineanu and of the teachers Cristian Răducanu, Ioana Tomuleasa and Cătălin Dragomirescu, presented their creative visions and had the opportunity to turn old clothes into modern and innovative outfits.
In an ever-changing world, these teenagers showed that fashion is not just about clothes, but about vision and reimagining. They brought back to life once abandoned garments, now reborn as unique creations, full of personality and style. Each of the presented pieces is a testament to their passion and dedication, a shining example of how any limitation can be overcome through creativity.
The fashion show at the Capitol Hotel will be more than just an event; it will be a celebration of innovation and youthful spirit. The models (students) will walk the catwalk, proudly wearing their creations and proving that whenever imagination meets the desire for change, results can be spectacular.
The atmosphere will be warmed up by LIVE music with classical and international songs by 6 very talented artists: 3 students-artists making their debuts: Vlad Iordache and Nicol Popițanu of the Dimitrie Bolintineanu Theoretical High School, Ilinca Iosif of the C. A. Rosetti Theoretical High School and 3 established artists: Magda Geambașu, a Soprano and Teacher at the Dimitrie Gusti Technological High School, Iasmina Stănescu – a Soprano of the Romanian Opera and Radu Costel, a violinist of the Romanian Rhapsody. We will also enjoy the presentation of 4 unique design creations by Alina Mărgineanu. Special guests and presenters of the show will be Luminița Velciu (TVR) together with George Alexandru Papadopol (Balkazaar). Johnny Mitu, the hairstylist of the Mitulicious Salon has also enthusiastically joined the project and will provide the coolest hairstyles for the models. We will be joined by the coordinating teachers Cristian Răducanu, Ioana Tomuleasa, Cătălin Dragomirescu, Magda Geambașu, Maria Crăița and the Director Adriana Leahu. Without their support and enthusiasm this show could not have taken place.
Teachers, parents, friends and other special guests will join us on the 27th of May to support and celebrate the talent of these young people. Come and join them, applaud their efforts and encourage the next generation of teenagers to pursue their dreams and create without limits.
The fashion show will start at 7 p.m. We are looking forward to share with you the joy and excitement of this unforgettable event.
