The XXXI International Fashion, Art and Design Festival Admiralty Needle will be held under the motto ‘Conscious elegance’!
“Conscious elegance” is a concept bigger than fashion itself. This is a reflection of a new look at style. A combination of refined aesthetics, respect for nature and a meaningful approach to choosing clothes, where each image is a message about caring for yourself, the world around you and culture.
In our crazy rhythm of big cities flooded with neon-lit advertisements and bright storefronts, it’s time to stop and look deep into yourself and your mind. Conscious elegance is the philosophy of finding the unusual in the ordinary. Think about the first rays of the sun breaking through the transparent haze of time — about the flowing and soft light of the upcoming new day. There is more wealth to be found in this gentle lighting than in the most dazzling city lights.
The art of conscious elegance is the discovery of ‘new’ luxury in the quiet moments of life.
Conscious elegance gives rise to the models of clothes, where every detail is devoid of pomposity and richness, but embodies an ideally sculpted form. Where accessories have lost their excesses, but in the process have become full of secret meaning. Feel the fluidity and continuity of the water, in the form of a flying silk scarf, the smoothness of a river pebble necklace, expertly created by nature. Think of a morning walk on the soft, dewy grass or your grandmother’s worn locket, which kept her secrets. In these personal associations lies the true elegance that we strive to capture: personal, full of vivid and genuine emotions.
The artist stops to observe, how drops form on the tip of a leaf or how shadows dance on the wall, and art is born from this scene. The real luxury will be revealed to us when we slow down enough to perceive and hear it. Sophistication does not live in grandeur, but in authenticity – the true joy of life that we are currently living.
It is important for a designer to show that today style is born not from endless consumption, but from the ability to appreciate uniqueness, emphasizing individuality through an informed choice of clothes and accessories.
‘Conscious elegance’ is about finding that one moment today that feels like a gift–and recognizing that gift as the ultimate treasure. Find this guiding star inside and around you, love and enjoy the simplest things in life.
The mission of Admiralty Needle 2025 is to inspire you to create harmonious works of art, where fashion is not only a demonstration of beauty and trends, but also a way to talk about values, caring for nature, society and your rich inner world as a designer.
Create looks of ‘conscious elegance’ that combine this rich inner world of the designer, refined aesthetics, impeccable quality, durability, innovative materials and creative design.
