Fashion as diplomacy: EIA GMG presentation and evening of style and women’s initiatives took place in the Russian House in Minsk

The event, which brought together designers, stylists, models, bloggers and journalists from Russia and Belarus, proved that cultural cooperation has no borders, and common values and aesthetics build the strongest bridge between countries.

From Gloss to Public Diplomacy

The evening was opened by Ksenia Mosaleva Gold, director of the Eurasian News Agency (Russia). In her welcoming speech, she thanked the Russian House for its hospitality and outlined the mission of the project. “Today we are building a real bridge between countries, between traditions and diplomacy,” Gold said. But most importantly, we are once again convinced that the true power of the world is in women

Five key themes of the Minsk evening

Media space as an instrument of influence. The first part of the program was a strategic session on opportunities for promotion in the media space of the Russian Federation. The experts discussed how joint information projects of Russia and Belarus can form an objective agenda and support national brands at the international level.

Style as a national idea. The central business unit was the presentation of the Association of Belarusian stylists. Its leaders Tatiana Lugina and Alena Chernel presented a vision of how the professional community can influence the image of the country. The Belarusian style was presented not just as a set of fashion rules, but as part of the national cultural code.

Motherhood. Meeting with the top model, mother of three children and popular blogger Natalia Lebedeva became one of the most emotional moments of the evening. Natalia dispelled the stereotype that with the birth of children you can forget about the catwalk and style. Her presentation on the theme “Being a mom is stylish” found a lively response from the audience, proving that modern femininity is multifaceted.

The energy of Slavic beauty. Belarusian speaker Alena Milos dedicated her speech to passion for the profession and aesthetics. She spoke about how inner strength and love for their work are reflected in the external image, emphasizing the unique beauty of Slavic women, which today is becoming a new global trend.

Brand showcase: from flax to avant-garde. The culmination of the evening was fashion shows, which presented a slice of modern Belarusian design. On the impromptu podium of the Russian House in the open air, brands showed their collections, each of which found its own unique language:
