In his speech at the opening of the evening, Professor Lubomir Stoykov stated: "As the most significant award for fashion design and lifestyle, the Golden Needle has established itself over the decades. The statistical fact that this highest prize for achievements in fashion in our country has been awarded for 28 years is sufficiently convincing that the native fashion industry in Bulgaria is developing, that fashion creativity and fashion business are bearing new wonderful fruits. Our designers and style-setters send their messages of beauty and practicality, and media, journalists, bloggers and influencers in the field of art and visual culture follow and encourage them with their nominations, their publications and - of course, their admirations. The situation in fashion design and fashion business during war, global economic crisis and post-COVID pandemic is difficult and problematic. Despite it, however, designers, stylists, make-up artists, photographers do not give up, but please us with more and more beautiful and valuable works. They will delight us tonight as well - on the podium of Golden Needle 2022. Let us thank them and worship them!".
