Maxim Behar was a guest at the "Rising Star” 2020 fashion awards ceremony, which took place at Vitosha Park Hotel. With this award, the Fashion Academy turned its attention to young talented designers who have made a strong impression in the creation of original clothing and accessories over the past year.

The beautiful statuette "Rising Star", a symbol of the award, was made by the emblematic jeweller Angelo Cassini. A glamorous parade of the new collections of designers who won “Golden Needle” took place just before the award ceremony.

The President of the Fashion Academy, Professor Lyubomir Stoykov, addressed the media on the occasion of the new award - "Bulgarian students of fashion design and young fashion designers deserve this recognition because they are creative, rebellious, inventive and unencumbered. But they are still not receiving enough incentive, publicity, and support to continue their creative work and be motivated to realize in their home country."
