Salima El Boussouni is "Best Designer in the World 2024"

The Teatro Los Salesianos in Madrid, a significant international fashion competition, MODAVISION®, took place, bringing together prominent designers from various countries who competed for the title of "BEST DESIGNER IN THE WORLD 2024."

 

 

MODAVISION® is a charitable movement with the motto "Fashion dresses in Peace," led by the prestigious Spanish businesswoman Olga IF, who holds a Double GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title. She ranks 19th among the top 50 Spanish designers and has been recognized as "Designer of the Year 2023," among other awards, making her a role model.

 

This fashion contest was created to raise funds for a group of talented young people with varying degrees of hearing impairment from special school No. 5 in Kharkiv (Ukraine). Despite their physical, mental, economic, and political challenges, they strive to overcome obstacles and seek peace through fashion. This is their main goal and characteristic. Therefore, it was extremely moving to enjoy the collection by Sofía Cherkashina and Katya Katlynskaya from this educational institution, made possible by their teacher Lubov Moiseeva, who presented their collection.

 

 

 

Olga IF and her sponsor, ONDA DEL PLATA FM, have raised the necessary funds for these young designers to travel from Ukraine next year and present their collection at MODAVISION® 2025. Thanks to ONDA DEL PLATA FM and the funds raised during MODAVISION® 2024, the plane tickets and accommodation for designers Sofía Cherkashina, Katya Katlynskaya, their assistant, and an interpreter who will support them at all times have been secured.

 

 

This event demonstrates the remarkable solidarity in our community and how effort and dedication lead us to persevere in the fight, even in adverse circumstances, until we reach our goal, as there is always someone capable of solving situations that are difficult for us to manage on our own and contributes to the miracle.

 

Last Saturday afternoon, the Teatro Los Salesianos was filled with glamour and elegance. The event featured many celebrities from the film, political, and music industries, among others. Distinguished singer-songwriters like the Neapolitan singer Gennaro de Crescenzo delighted us with two of his songs, "Luna Rossa" and "Musica per Napoli." The renowned Granada dancer Jesús Fernández showcased his flamenco art. Similarly, the contemporary dance company Carabdanza and María Arcos (Coloured Mary), director and creator of Coloured Art Studio, immersed us in the magic of real-time Body Painting, and more.

 

 

The MODAVISION® fashion contest opened with DJ Kepi, who was responsible for playing music created by M.A.C Studio Production (Gibraltar). They had spent five months composing the songs and musical themes that each designer presented with their collection, in addition to composing the MODAVISION® Anthem, among others.

 

That afternoon was filled with genuine enthusiasm, excitement, creativity, and runway magic, both on stage and among the audience. However, the most significant emotion was when the jury decided who would be the best designer in the world. And so it was, the Moroccan representative designer, Salima El Boussouni, received the majority of votes from the live audience, being awarded the title of BEST DESIGNER IN THE WORLD 2024. She captivated us with the magic and elegance of the Kaftan Skalli. With many years of experience dedicated to fashion, her exceptional collection stands out with tradition in all its splendor, arriving with a spring breeze of vibrant, unique, and singular tones.

 

 

Additionally, the runway featured collections by Anna Sviridova, a Ukrainian designer with over 20 years of experience. She showcased exceptional evening wear, where red, black, and gold shone with elegance and delicacy.

 

Franciane Keiser (Luxembourg) presented a collection distinguished by the remarkable combination of high-quality fabrics, diverse shades, and beauty. The models displayed a very refined and attractive line in terms of footwear and hats.

 

Juliette Dubois Couture (France) showed her impressive and exquisite creation of dresses, exceptional and very unique designs.

 

Ilona Szabó, a designer from Hungary, despite her physical absence at the event, sent a video of her highly innovative, youthful, and elegant fashion collection that breaks the rules, criteria, and established stereotypes, offering designs in various sizes that fit every woman's profile.

 

 

Trico (Japan) delighted us with the elegance and fine craftsmanship of the culture and art of an entire country. The color and delicacy of their Kimonos are the result of great work that continues to blossom.

 

Alimac Design, a designer from Belgium, offered us all the trends of fashion with her collection. A very vibrant, youthful, contemporary, and highly creative fashion.

 

And the German designer, Schirin Style, despite her young age (17 years), presented very casual, colorful, powerful, and brilliant everyday fashion.

 

 

Also, invaluable contributions of MODAVISION® 2024 sponsors has played a critical role in making an unforgettable celebration of creativity, solidarity, and fashion: 

 

 

Olga IF did not cease to amaze us on that summer evening, showcasing her designs under the "Imaginative Fashion" brand. Her professionalism and deep respect for this art form of artistic expression, inspiring and motivating, lead us to a world as unique and meaningful as fashion. Furthermore, she expressed her enthusiasm for continuing to collaborate and direct the next edition of this wonderful MODAVISION® fashion contest next year, which, thanks to the collaboration of this great sponsor, will feature the stellar presence of these two young Ukrainian girls, who will finally be able to present their collection in Spain.
