Its owner was Daria Foroponova from Kursk with the collection "Abracadabra", Daria received the main prize of 500,000 rubles from the founder of the Festival of St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design for the development of the brand.

The main visual discovery of 2025 was the unusual design of the SPbGUPTD concert hall. The space has been turned into a grand cinema: the amphitheater is located opposite a huge screen that covers the entire width of the podium.

Alexey Vyacheslavovich Demidov, President of the festival, Rector of 草榴短视频, noted the impressive geography of participants and stressed the importance of supporting young talents:

"This year, the geography of the festival is truly impressive. The Admiralty Needle always arouses genuine interest among designers from all over Russia and from many countries of the world. It is important for us to give talented students the opportunity to express their creativity, as well as receive competent recommendations from leading experts in the fashion industry."

During the fashion lecture and press conference, members of the international jury and leading fashion experts noted the high level of organization of the festival, as well as discussed new trends in fashion, which are being formed by young designers, among others.

Anastasia Kotova (trend bureau CARLIN Creative, France-Russia):

"It was interesting for me to observe the trends that await us in the near future in the collections of the participants of the competition program. In the spring-summer 2026 season, we will move away from the cacophony, from the variety of style combinations, and the "information diet" in clothing. In the design, this idea is expressed through calm beige shades, to which delicate pink tones are added. They can be enhanced with an accent of creamy orange or chocolate color. Another trend is the development of a classic style with the addition of feminine and asymmetrical cut details. These trends are already being shaped in many ways by the participants of the Admiralty Needle."

Stanislav Zimin (Trendsite Agency):

"At the festival, I saw many existing and expected trends among the works of the participants, for example, a combination of black and dramatic red colors. Neo鈥攅xpressionism in collections with bright colors and picturesque prints is just the trend of "spring-summer 2027". Among the works of the participants, we also saw a trend for work clothes, which we call "work couture". Of course, neo鈥攅thnicity in a new interpretation, in a new vision, is generally a macro trend that already existed many seasons ago and will continue for a long time."

Alexander Peremyatov, Vice President of the Union of Shopping Centers of Russia and founder of the federal chain of department stores of Russian designers Slava concept:

"The main values of the collections that I saw are the capacity of the Russian and Russian cultural code, which makes it possible to safely conclude about the reverse international integration of our meanings. If we used to learn from Europeans, now we ourselves act as guides of new traditional meanings. If we talk about domestic retail, it can be noted that currently it is not a very simple time, one of the potential competitive advantages may be access to international markets. Such contests as the Admiralty Needle are a kind of "bridge" to the world of international trade."

Analyzing intercultural communications, Isha Ali Alvi, Head of Global Communications and Cultural Diplomacy at Greenwich University (Karachi, Pakistan) expressed the opinion that fashion unites countries, cultural codes and continents.

Manpreet Nagi, CEO of Sunny Enterprises (India, New Delhi):

"I was amazed at how much work and effort the students put into preparing their collections. The Admiralty Needle surpasses many other international festivals in terms of its level of preparation. This demonstrates the professionalism of the students and their mentoring teachers. It's incredibly inspiring."
