BEYOND THE CATWALK: SLOVENIA AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

It is no wonder a picturesque country like Slovenia is producing incredible talents as seen at its latest fashion week. With fairytale landscapes, preserved and clean environments, architectural charm and cultural heritage, Slovenia is a hub of inspiration that allows creatives to connect with their environment and express emotion. Arguably, one of Slovenia’s and Europe’s top must-visit locations is Lake Bled. Nestled in Slovenia's Julian Alps, Bled is an abundant source of inspiration due to its captivating natural beauty. Its majestic mountains, enchanting forests, and iconic Bled Island with its Church (the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary) and Bled Castle create a spellbinding scenery that fosters creativity and relaxation through its tranquil waters. Coupled with cultural significance, outdoor activities, seasonal changes, and unique elements like ‘Pletna’ boats, Lake Bled continues to inspire people worldwide for artistic pursuits, contemplation, or simply admiring nature's splendour. A visit to Bled Island offers the chance to immerse yourself in the enchanting "Legend of the Sunken Bell." As you ring the mystical Wishing Bell and make a wish, you become a part of this age-old tradition, adding your hopes to the tapestry of dreams woven throughout the island's history.
