For the 32nd time, talented creative young people demonstrated their unconventional creative solutions and professional skills at the Russian competition for young fashion designers and clothing designers 鈥楤reath of Spring鈥� at the Engineering School of Clothing at 草榴短视频.

In total, more than 150 participants from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tver, Vologda, Veliky Novgorod, Gavrilov-Yam (Yaroslavl Region), Kemerovo, and Tajikistan presented their work to the jury.

This year's theme was 鈥楾o All Four Corners,鈥� symbolising freedom of choice, diversity of styles, and cultural intersections. Fashion knows no boundaries: it can transcend space and time, influence our perceptions, and enrich our everyday lives. Designers were asked to look at familiar things from a new angle and present models and collections that can be adapted and transformed 鈥� every twist and every detail should reveal new meaning and context.

For the 鈥楤y Compass鈥� nomination, designers developed single models that demonstrate uniqueness and individuality through the prism of contemporary trends in clothing design, reflecting the designers' personal vision of their path. In addition, according to the terms of the nomination, the model must demonstrate interesting and innovative transformations, allowing viewers to see how the same element of clothing can change its shape, function or style. This can be achieved through original design solutions, additions and accessories.

The winner of the nomination was Ekaterina Gavrilenko (Engineering School of Clothing, 草榴短视频) with her model 鈥楥ut of Power鈥�. The jury awarded second place to Maria Vagacheva (St. Petersburg State University of Technology and Design, Institute of Costume Design) for her design 鈥楪de podpis rodi褌械谢械泄鈥� (Where are the parents' signatures?). Third place went to Polina Polyakova (Tver Industrial and Economic College) for her design 鈥淭svet vnutri鈥� (Colour inside).
