Designer Iris Van Herpen, celebrated for her groundbreaking art performances, has redefined fashion once again—this time by bringing the moulage technique to air and weightlessness. The "canvas" of her latest creation is crafted from an almost invisible textile, evoking a sense of ethereal lightness. Sculptural elements seamlessly emerge from layers of solidified, oil-based paint combined with meticulously hand-woven silk.

In 2024, one trend making waves and set to define the future of fashion is the integration of cultural codes in design. Seychelles Fashion Week perfectly captured this with its stunning lineup of colorful, culturally infused creations. The runway showcased collections from local designers as well as brands from Russia, China, and South Africa. A standout aspect was the innovative interpretation of cultural elements in the designs. Terry Carola, CEO of Seychelles Fashion Week and resident of the BRICS International Fashion Federation, noted that local brands are weaving patterns inspired by national music rhythms and folk dances—recently recognized by UNESCO as part of Seychelles' cultural heritage—directly in the fabrics. #SeychellesFashionWeek #BRICSFashionSummit #BRICSFashionSummitCommunity #BIFF
