Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb - Day 3.

Well, all three days of Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb finished, as I already said it was well organized event. I did not appreciate too many collections, I would buy just few pieces, and the third day was definitely the best. I'm not expert for fashion, don't get me wrong, but my personal opinion is that the organizers could find much better designers. but I appreciate all the effort that the designers have put into creating their own collections, and certainly everyone will find his customer, because, ultimately, we all have different tastes. All in all, I'm happy I had a chance to enjoy this event.

Pa, sva tri dana Dreft Fashion Weeka Zagreb su gotova, i kako sam već prije rekla, riječ je o dobro organiziranom događaju. Nije mi se svidjela većina kolekcija, ali postoji nekoliko komada koji su mi zapeli za oko, a mislim da je treći dan bio najzanimljiviji - osim ako nije krivo ono vino sa Festivala vina :) (šalim se). Nisam neki stručnjak za modu, i nemojte me shvatiti krivo, ali mislim da su organizatori mogli naći i bolje dizajnere (ne bih sve zamjenila, naravno). Ipak, cijenim trud koji je svaki od dizajnera uložio u stvaranje svojih kolekcija i vjerujem da će svatko od njih naći svoga kupca, jer, na koncu, svi imamo različite ukuse. Ali, sve u svemu, sretna sam što sam imala šansu uživati u ovom događaju.

ARTIĐANA
Ana Ćavar presented her collections in several solo shows in Zagreb Puppet Theatre, FWZ-in, Modni ormar and Zlatna igla.

Dreft Fashion Week Zagreb - Day 2.

I'm having a very lazy Sunday, I dreamed about this kind of day last two weeks. Yesterday I've spent whole day at Vine festival in Zagreb where I attended some workshops about vines of different part of Croatia and tasted food that goes well with that vines, and whole day I've been tasting amazing vines. If you love vines, and have a chance to taste the vines from Croatia, I recommend you to definitely try them, white or black, never mind, both are amazing. Little tipsy I ran to the last day of Dreft fashion Week Zagreb, but before of that I need to show you second day.

Uživam u lijenoj nedjelji, danima sam maštala o ovako provedenom danu. Jučer sam cijeli dan provela u hotelu Esplanada na Međunarodnom festivalu vina i kulinarstva gdje sam sudjelovala na radionicama o vinima određenih regija, gdje smo uz kušanje vina jeli i prigodnu hranu koja se dobro slaže uz njih, a osim na radioniama i na festivali sam kušala valjda stotinu vina. Divan dan i mogu zaključiti (iako sam to već znala), da imamo stvarno fantastična vina, bijela ili crna, sasvim svejedno. Pomalo pripita odjurila sam na posljednju večer Dreft Fashion Weeka Zagreb, ali vam prije toga dugujem pregled druge večeri.
