At the beginning of the ceremony Prof. Lubomir Stoykov pointed out: “I am convinced that the “BG Fashion Icon” award contributes to raising the taste and aesthetic demand of the new generation, as well as to better understand the unity between inner and outer beauty, between professional success and style. I believe that the winners of 2019 will join the three major social causes of the Academy of Fashion - the support of young designers and students of fashion, the upholding of the values of ethical and sustainable fashion, and the relentless fight against fake celebrities, kitsch and tastelessness. I believe that together we can contribute to a more humane, moral and beautiful world!”
