Fabulous dresses of designer Ivana Nikolić Stanković graced the fourth evening of Serbia Fashion Week. Ivana is also a painter, and her creations are filled with the printing of hand-painted pictures. Fabrics that she used are natural, so the color could stay on the material in the right way. Her collection has drawn a great attention of domestic and foreign media, and audience supported the fashion show with great applause.

Dresses, pants and overalls, in which every woman would feel special, are made of lace, silk and tulle, combined with crystals.
