BANJA LUKA’S HOMEGROWN COLLECTION SHINES WITH “TAMO DALEKO” AT MILAN FASHION WEEK

A group of 11 young women from E'Couture Models Agency in Banja Luka traveled to the fashion capital of the world – Milan – to take part in one of the planet’s most prestigious fashion events: Milan Fashion Week.

Walking the runways alongside global fashion names, the following models made their debut appearances on the international scene: Anastasija Kadić, Nataša Šarac, Nataša Šolaja, Ekatarina Janković, Milica Gavrilović, Mila Stupar, Kristina Brdar, Mila Keser, and Mia Knežević.

Particularly notable were Mila Keser, Maja and Nina Ristić, who made history as the youngest participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina ever to walk the runways of Milan Fashion Week – a testament to the talent and potential of young models from the region.

Over the course of three spectacular shows, held between September 26 and 29, these young beauties demonstrated that Banja Luka truly has something to offer to the global fashion scene.

The entire project was made possible through the joint collaboration between E'Couture Models Agency from Banja Luka, Global Kids Agency, and DModels Agency. The runways featured designs by Pčelica Maja (Maja Arsenović), Luccino, and Dorosh.

A particularly emotional moment came during the showcase of Pčelica Maja’s collection, accompanied by the iconic Serbian song “Tamo Daleko”, which resonated through the Milanese venue, sparking immense pride among the Balkan audience.

Models from Serbia and Montenegro also took part in the event, which featured more than 40 models of various ages, turning the shows into a truly international fashion spectacle.

The fashion shows took place at two prestigious venues – Palazzo Serbelloni and I Chiostri di San Barnaba. Behind the success of this extraordinary journey stands Žana Bjelinić, founder and director of E'Couture Models Agency, who has rapidly built a bridge connecting Banja Luka with the world’s top fashion capitals.
