Where does it ever stop? Style, fashion… Fashion, style… And more fashion… And more style... Give me a break!
Delada’s designs are for women who like high quality and appreciate something that is well made, while flattering the woman’s body. Her line touches on luxury but makes it discreet.

Malgorzata Dudek’s showcased collection is wild, extreme and defies the boundaries facing the feminine silhouette. Dudek lets nothing restrict the beautiful statement pieces from her original intentions. Her designs are eccentric; the unique strong bursts of ruffling enhance the shoulders and create new lines to the natural figure, this is done with such detail, a puzzle in which each piece results in a beautifully structured garment.
