Benedetti Life – A Visionary Fashion Spectacle Under the Stars

As part of the GO!2025 project, Nova Gorica will, on September 13 at 8:30 PM, become the center of the sustainable fashion of the future.
For the first time in the region, one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year will take place: Benedetti Life – a visionary fashion spectacle under the stars.

The evening will open with the From Waste to Beauty awards ceremony, celebrating designers who transform waste materials into garments that border on art.

On the runway in front of the Nova Gorica City Hall, creations will be presented in innovative materials such as mushrooms, sugarcane, pineapple, olives, seaweed, and eucalyptus – as well as recycled electronics, beer cans, plastic bottles, and repurposed clothing donated by Manca Košir and Dr. Jane Goodall – all without compromise on style, aesthetics, and glamour.

The unique GO!2025 x Benedetti Life spectacle will be enriched by the presence of many renowned names who will co-create an unforgettable evening. Among the models, actress and creator Zala Djurić will shine, while musical legends Helena Blagne and the duo Silence, dancers from MN Dance Company, music composer Anže Igličar, artist Kristjan Crnica, MasterChef winner Luka Pangos, creator Luka Markus Stajer, and acclaimed actress and presenter Lara Komar will elevate the event with their performances. Together, with their talent and creativity, they will ensure that the evening transcends the boundaries of a classic fashion show and becomes an artistic manifesto for the future of fashion.

The show will be directed by celebrated director and playwright Nikola Zavišić, who will transform the fashion event into a true artistic manifesto for the future of fashion – fashion that includes, protects, and inspires.

The event is open to the public and free of charge. For every seat at the show, one tree will be planted, ensuring that this fashion evening contributes to the long-term protection of our planet. This will be an evening where fashion and sustainability meet in a culture that truly belongs to everyone.
