Istorijski prostor Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers u četvrti Saint-Germain-des-Prés 30. maja postao je mesto susreta mode, kulture, tehnologije i međunarodne saradnje, kada se UNIQUE Fashion Show Paris vratio u još jednom dinamičnom izdanju. Okupljajući dizajnere, umetnike, predstavnike medija, kupce i kreativne preduzetnike iz cele Evrope, sa Kavkaza i iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, događaj je još jednom pokazao zašto je postao jedna od najprepoznatljivijih multidisciplinarnih platformi na međunarodnom modnom kalendaru.
Uprkos jednom od najtoplijih dana ove sezone u Parizu i izazovima u gradskom saobraćaju izazvanim velikim sportskim proslavama, događaj je okupio međunarodnu publiku željnu da doživi program koji je prevazilazio tradicionalni format modne piste. Tokom dana, gosti su imali priliku da istraže modne prezentacije, aktivnosti u showroom prostoru, umetničke izložbe, digitalne instalacije, inicijative održivosti i mogućnosti za umrežavanje osmišljene kako bi podstakle značajne globalne veze.
Platforma, koju je razvilo udruženje UNIQUE Fashion Foundation Association, etablirala se kao most između mode, tehnologije, održivosti i kulturne razmene. Njena misija ostaje povezivanje novih i afirmisanih kreativaca iz Francuske, Evrope, Centralne Azije, sa Kavkaza i iz Severne Amerike, uz stvaranje prilika za veću vidljivost, saradnju i profesionalni razvoj.
Međunarodni revijalni program predstavio je raznovrsnu postavu dizajnera čije su kolekcije odražavale razvoj savremene modne scene. Među istaknutim učesnicima bio je gruzijski brend LEM, koji je predstavio svoju SS26 kolekciju Blanket, istraživanje sećanja, nasleđa i održivosti kroz patchwork tehnike i reciklirane materijale. Srpska dizajnerka Maria Chany predstavila je svoju prepoznatljivu avangardnu estetiku, kombinujući futurističke siluete sa principima održivog dizajna, što joj je donelo priznanja na modnim nedeljama širom Evrope.
Iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, Bobbye Doll predstavila je kolekciju fokusiranu na snažnu ženstvenost i skulpturalne forme, dok je bosanskohercegovački brend MEMENTO kroz konceptualno pripovedanje zamaglio granice između mode i vizuelne umetnosti. Belgijska dizajnerka Laure Siassia predstavila je sofisticirane modele rađene po meri za savremene poslovne žene i pripadnice visokog društva, dok je gruzijski ženski modni brend Lilien prikazao elegantne kapsulne kolekcije definisane bezvremenskom sofisticiranošću.
Nemački Art Fashion Duo, koji predvode Margarita Zippel i Yulia Rotau, osvojio je publiku eksperimentalnim tekstilnim tehnikama i inovativnim metodama upcyclinga koje su nekonvencionalne materijale pretvorile u nosiva umetnička dela. Predstavljajući Irsku, C. Camara istakao je lepotu tekstilnog zanatstva kroz savremenu perspektivu, potvrđujući globalnu raznolikost koja i dalje definiše UNIQUE platformu.
Događaj je takođe stavio fokus na francuske kreativne talente kroz Brand Support Program fondacije. Mira Belle Paris, koji je osnovala Marie Desnos, predstavio je savremenu haute chapellerie produkciju koja slavi zanatsko umeće i parisku eleganciju. U međuvremenu, FORT N°5 istraživao je koncept nosive umetnosti kroz skulpturalne siluete, održive metode proizvodnje i izrazito konceptualan pristup inspirisan baltičkom estetikom.
Pored modne piste, showroom i pop-up iskustvo razvijeno u partnerstvu sa EIDIKO Concept Storeom služilo je kao aktivno središte profesionalnog povezivanja. Dizajneri, kupci, predstavnici medija, stilisti, influenseri i potencijalni saradnici okupljali su se tokom čitavog dana, stvarajući vredne prilike za međunarodnu promociju i budući poslovni razvoj.
Poseban Digital Experience program dodatno je proširio diskusiju, ističući sve snažniju povezanost između mode, veštačke inteligencije, digitalne umetnosti i novih tehnologija. Kroz imerzivne prezentacije i inovativne projekte, inicijativa je pokazala kako digitalne inovacije oblikuju kreativno izražavanje i otvaraju nove mogućnosti za modnu industriju.
Umetnost je ostala u samom centru identiteta događaja. Francuska umetnica i dizajnerka Ekaterina Minerva predstavila je pažljivo odabranu selekciju radova koji istražuju simboliku, modu i vizuelno pripovedanje. Njen doprinos dodatno je osnažio multidisciplinarnu viziju događaja i posvećenost podršci stvaraocima koji deluju na različitim umetničkim poljima.
Održivost je takođe zauzela centralno mesto kroz predstavljanje pobednika Circle X Sustainability Contesta. Italijanski brend CIRIANA osvojio je prvu nagradu za kolekciju A Botanical Reverie / Morphira, koju je međunarodni žiri prepoznao zbog inovativnog pristupa materijalima i umetničke izvrsnosti. Projekti nagrađenih učesnika iz Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Kenije dodatno su oslikali sve globalniji dijalog o odgovornom dizajnu i održivim modnim praksama.
Kako modna industrija nastavlja da se razvija, UNIQUE Fashion Show Paris ostaje posvećen negovanju nove generacije kreativnih talenata kroz obrazovne programe, takmičenja, grantove i inicijative međunarodne promocije. Poseban fokus i dalje je usmeren na podršku dizajnerima i stvaraocima iz Francuske i Luksemburga, uz podsticanje prilika za globalnu saradnju.
Uspeh pariskog izdanja omogućen je zahvaljujući partnerstvima sa vodećim obrazovnim institucijama, kulturnim organizacijama i industrijskim platformama, uključujući ESMOD, EICAR, Luxembourg Fashion Week, Sustainable Fashion Week US, Inside Fashion Design, RunwayTO, Malu Academy, EIDIKO Concept Store i Clos Monicord. Zajedno, ove saradnje dodatno su učvrstile posvećenost događaja stvaranju značajnih veza unutar globalnog modnog ekosistema.
Uz podršku međunarodne mreže modnih medija, među kojima su Paris Runway Official, FashionUnited, France Fashion, Fashion X Magazine, DFashion Magazine i brojne druge svetske publikacije, događaj je nastavio da širi svoj domet i uticaj među mladim dizajnerima i kreativnim brendovima.
Nakon uspešno završenog izdanja u Parizu, UNIQUE Fashion Show sada usmerava pažnju ka New York Fashion Weeku, gde će se naredno izdanje platforme održati 12. septembra 2026. godine. Dok organizacija nastavlja svoje međunarodno putovanje, ostaje fokusirana na izgradnju budućnosti u kojoj se moda, tehnologija, održivost i kulturni dijalog prepliću kako bi stvarali trajne prilike za kreativce širom sveta.

Paris became the Global Stage for UNIQUE Fashion Show
Next up, UNIQUE heads to New York City for Fashion Week
On May 30, the historic Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers in Saint-Germain-des-Prés became the meeting point for fashion, culture, technology, and international collaboration as UNIQUE Fashion Show Paris returned for another dynamic edition. Bringing together designers, artists, media, buyers, and creative entrepreneurs from across Europe, the Caucasus, and the United States, the event once again demonstrated why it has become one of the most distinctive multidisciplinary platforms on the international fashion calendar.
Despite one of Paris’ hottest days of the season and citywide transportation challenges caused by major sporting celebrations, the event welcomed an international audience eager to experience a program that extended far beyond the traditional runway format. Throughout the day, guests explored fashion presentations, showroom activations, art exhibitions, digital installations, sustainability initiatives, and networking opportunities designed to foster meaningful global connections.
Developed by the UNIQUE Fashion Foundation Association, the platform has established itself as a bridge between fashion, technology, sustainability, and cultural exchange. Its mission continues to connect emerging and established creatives across France, Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and North America while creating opportunities for visibility, collaboration, and professional growth.
The international runway program showcased a diverse lineup of designers whose collections reflected the evolving landscape of contemporary fashion. Among the highlights was LEM from Georgia, presenting its SS26 collection Blanket, an exploration of memory, heritage, and sustainability through patchwork techniques and upcycled materials. Serbia’s Maria Chany brought her signature avant-garde aesthetic, blending futuristic silhouettes with sustainable design principles that have earned recognition at fashion weeks across Europe.
From the United States, Bobbye Doll delivered a collection centered on bold femininity and sculptural forms, while Bosnia and Herzegovina’s MEMENTO blurred the boundaries between fashion and visual art through conceptual storytelling.
Belgium’s Laure Siassia presented refined made-to-measure designs tailored for modern businesswomen and women of high society, while Georgian womenswear label Lilien showcased elegant capsule collections defined by timeless sophistication.
Germany’s Art Fashion Duo, led by Margarita Zippel and Yulia Rotau, captivated audiences with experimental textile techniques and innovative upcycling methods that transformed unconventional materials into wearable works of art. Representing Ireland, C. Camara highlighted the beauty of textile craftsmanship through a contemporary lens, reinforcing the global diversity that continues to define the UNIQUE platform.
The event also spotlighted French creative talent through the Foundation’s Brand Support Program. Mira Belle Paris, founded by Marie Desnos, presented contemporary haute chapellerie that celebrated artisanal craftsmanship and Parisian elegance. Meanwhile, FORT N°5 explored wearable art through sculptural silhouettes, sustainable production methods, and a distinctly conceptual approach inspired by Baltic aesthetics.
Beyond the runway, the showroom and pop-up experience developed in partnership with EIDIKO Concept Store served as an active hub for industry engagement. Designers, buyers, media representatives, stylists, influencers, and potential collaborators gathered throughout the day, creating valuable opportunities for international exposure and future business development.
A dedicated Digital Experience program further expanded the conversation, highlighting the growing intersection between fashion, artificial intelligence, digital art, and emerging technologies. Through immersive presentations and innovative projects, the initiative demonstrated how digital innovation is reshaping creative expression and opening new possibilities for the fashion industry.
Art remained central to the event’s identity. French artist and designer Ekaterina Minerva presented a curated selection of works exploring symbolism, fashion, and visual narrative. Her contribution reinforced the event’s multidisciplinary vision and commitment to supporting creators working across artistic disciplines.
Sustainability also took center stage through the presentation of the Circle X Sustainability Contest winners. Italian label CIRIANA received First Prize for its collection A Botanical Reverie / Morphira, recognized by an international jury for its innovative approach to materials and artistic excellence. Projects from award recipients in the United Kingdom and Kenya further reflected the increasingly global dialogue surrounding responsible design and sustainable fashion practices.
As the fashion industry continues to evolve, UNIQUE Fashion Show Paris remains committed to nurturing the next generation of creative talent through educational programs, competitions, grants, and international visibility initiatives. Particular focus continues to be placed on supporting designers and creators based in France and Luxembourg while fostering opportunities for global collaboration.
The success of the Paris edition was made possible through partnerships with leading educational institutions, cultural organizations, and industry platforms, including ESMOD, EICAR, Luxembourg Fashion Week, Sustainable Fashion Week US, Inside Fashion Design, RunwayTO, Malu Academy, EIDIKO Concept Store, and Clos Monicord. Together, these collaborations reinforced the event’s commitment to creating meaningful connections across the global fashion ecosystem.
Supported by an international network of fashion media including Paris Runway Official, FashionUnited, France Fashion, Fashion X Magazine, DFashion Magazine, and numerous global publications, the event continued to expand its reach and impact among emerging designers and creative brands.
With Paris successfully concluded, UNIQUE Fashion Show now turns its attention to New York Fashion Week, where the platform’s next edition will take place on September 12, 2026. As the organization continues its international journey, it remains focused on building a future where fashion, technology, sustainability, and cultural dialogue intersect to create lasting opportunities for creatives around the world.
