*** Prof. Stoykov: "There will always be fashion, because the pursuit of the new and different is a sacred right of every person!"

The Academy of Fashion, with chairman Prof. Lubomir Stoykov, organized a stylish and exclusive event for the presentation of the most authoritative fashion award in Bulgaria - "Golden Needle 2021". Radoslava Lazarova was awarded the extremely prestigious Designer of the Year award. The "Fashion House" award went to "Allegra" with designer Radostina Ilieva. The winners in the other categories are: Kostadin Krastev - Koko - "Fashion Photography", Eliza Popova took the prize for "Fashion Makeup", and the Golden Needle for "Best Young Designer” was received by Anton Uzunov. It is curious that this is the second "Golden Needle" award for Radoslava Lazarova (the first was awarded to her a few years ago for best young designer), Eliza Popova became the make-up artist of the year for the second time, and Kostadin Krastev - Koko was awarded for the third time in the "Fashion Photography" category.

In his speech at the opening of the evening, Professor Lubomir Stoykov said: "This year the message of the Academy of Fashion and the Golden Needle is very clear: the Bulgarian fashion design and fashion industry will not fall to their knees before the COVID pandemic! As an important part of culture and art, fashion overcomes limitations and deprivations because style and beauty are never passed on. Respect to the Bulgarian fashion artists who, despite the cruel situation, survive and thus contribute to the survival of our material and spiritual life! There will always be fashion, because the pursuit of the new and different is a sacred right of every person!”

The winners received the statuette "Golden Needle", made by the established Bulgarian jeweler Angelo Krasini, and the Chairman of the Academy of Fashion personally awarded each of the winners with a certificate. The ceremony was attended by previous winners of the Golden Needle award in various categories: Sofia Borisova, Ina Assa, Teodora Spasova, Julia Angelova and Ivomir Peshev. Ms. Diana Miteva - Executive Director and Member of the Management Board of DSK Bank, and Chairman of the Management Board of the Association of Banks in Bulgaria gave Anton Uzunov a certificate for the traditional special cash prize of the bank in the category "Best Young Designer". Among the participants in the ceremony was Mrs. Kristina Manolova - Marketing Director of "Automotor Corporation", official representative of "Citroen" for Bulgaria.
