Proust și ciocolată în colecția Kiss Gyöngyvér – interviu cu designerul

Sometimes, the fashion months is not in March. This year, the fashion month started at UNARTE Bucharest, continued to Cluj-Napoca, then to Timișoara and (probably) it will stop at Feeric Fashion Week. And, as in any fashion month, one of the weeks is more poetic and other more artistic. This ...
