Crowded (as in: every single seat taken and you would not believe how many people happily squeezed in standing behind the last rows during the shows), late (as in “fashionably late”) and occasionally exciting – that is how I could describe yesterday at BFW.

I was looking forward to seeing Ana Šekularac show, who flew with her new collection directly from London. A little trivia: when Victoria Beckham was shot smiling in public for the first time ever, it was while she was wearing Ana’s clothes. I can certify that if I’d wear Ana’s new collection, I would be smiling all the time too.  But, I need a suitable occasion for her dresses: please submit your extravagant invitations to my mail. Check out her artisan draping:

Later on, I moved to another catwalk in sleepy (had a looong day), but happy anticipation of Dejan Despotović show. But, before Dejan, a guest from Slovenia Miro Misljen had his moment. There were recycled-looking layers, there were post-apocalyptic crinolines, there were punk references, there were several live Ken guys, there was knitting, nets and flowers, there were many dropped jaws and- I was not sleepy any more at all, quite awake for the beginning of Dejan Despotović show.

The show looked like a White Stripes video, in a strict palette of red, white and black. Staying true to what makes him recognizable, but adding just enough innovation to give us something new to droll about (like the red trench or slim pants with transparent panels), Dejan has done it again- only maybe even better this time.
