Belgrade Fashion Week witnessed a heartwarming tribute to a young victim of a tragic school shooting. Jelena Acimovic, not a model by profession, graced the runway in a dress inspired by her late sister Angelina's drawings. Angelina, a victim of a school massacre, had sketched designs at the tender age of 10. Her family's call to designers resulted in Dior creating two dresses based on her artwork.
The emotional significance of the event was palpable as Jelena, along with Angelina's sisters, friends, and professional models, showcased the dresses. The white dress, reminiscent of a wedding gown, symbolized the dreams Angelina could not fulfill. Serbian designer Bata Spasojevic praised Angelina's artistic talent, noting the joy and beauty evident in her sketches.
The runway display not only honored Angelina's memory but also highlighted the impact of senseless violence on families and communities. Through fashion, the Acimovic family found a poignant way to celebrate Angelina's creativity and spirit, ensuring her legacy lives on.
