Introducing the latest designs from BYLLU’s “Color and Light” collection.

Lilyana Petrova-Lulu continues to take us on a journey into the world of art through clothing inspired by her extraordinary paintings. Lulu's creative energy and original approach transform each garment into an expression of individuality and freedom. “Yoshimori” – The Elegant Long Dress The first ensemble in this presentation is the graceful long dress, "Yoshimori," inspired by paintings that embody strength and refinement. With its vibrant and dynamic motifs, this dress captures attention and is the perfect choice for any special occasion. Its comfortable yet sophisticated silhouette allows women to exude confidence and leave a lasting impression. This design is created for women unafraid to showcase their uniqueness and inner beauty. “FOXY” – The Artistic Tunic The second outfit is the “FOXY” tunic, blending inspiration from Arab culture with a modern sense of style. The front features an impressive illustration from the painting “The Sound of Blue,” while the back is crafted from eco-leather in classic black, creating a balance of extravagance and sophistication. The light fabric and relaxed fit add a sense of movement, while the semi-collar easily transforms into a stylish hood, making the tunic suitable for both daily wear and special occasions. “North Pray” – The Long Vest The third look is the “North Pray” long vest, radiating minimalism and artistry with a hint of Eastern influence. This vest combines natural fabrics and soft contrasts, with a bold hand-painted illustration on the back inspired by the painting “North Pray.” The inner layer, in cyclamen satin shades, adds a delicate fluidity, making this piece truly unique. With its dynamic energy and striking design, “North Pray” is made for women who want their style to stand out.

Let's express ourselves through creativity and love

In the latest issue 76 of Banker Special magazine, readers have the opportunity to meet the designer behind BYLLU – Lilyana Petrova, known by her pseudonym Lulu. She combines elegance with a unique style in her work, inspiring women to be bold and different. Lilyana Petrova – Lulu – has been profoundly influenced by the art of such remarkable artists and designers as Van Gogh, Marc Chagall, Escher, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Elsa Schiaparelli, Versace, and Louis Vuitton. In her creations – both in paintings and clothing – she tells stories. She loves working with images, bright and contrasting colors, strong, expressive lines, and shapes blending into one another. When transferring her paintings onto clothing, she carefully considers the composition and the way it shapes the body. This is why she designs very clean and simple models, avoiding unnecessary details in the construction. “For me, textile is of utmost importance — the material I choose for a given outfit, its lightness in movement, and comfort. Besides being extravagant, the garment must be comfortable and practical,” Lulu shares. Many of her paintings play a special role in her clothing. The images come alive, turning into three-dimensional and dynamic elements. Here’s what the designer of the BYLLU fashion brand says about this fall's trends:“We are witnessing the return of styles characteristic of the 1970s. The boho style is becoming increasingly present, offering various interpretations, while vintage elements are finding their place in numerous collections. The classic motifs of this period stand out with romantic notes, combined with chic and elegant details. Short skirts and shorts are back in style, and fall colors are paired with bright accents. An eclectic mix of classic and modern emerges, moving from abstract modernism to classic lines or the bohemian style of the 1970s. Particular attention is drawn to the oversized model, which is extremely popular among young people. It offers adaptability for everyday life, combining modern, chic, and avant-garde elements. In addition to the fall motifs, collections also feature bright colors, bringing a touch of delicate arrogance and abstract expression in a modern way. This fall promises to be exciting and diverse, inspiring us to experiment with past styles in a contemporary context.” Recently, Lulu presented part of the first collection of her fashion brand BYLLU, titled “Color and Light”, which definitely incorporates the trends for fall 2024. This collection is created for women who are not afraid to be different and shine in bold colors. It combines elegance with a subtle audacity, perfect for those who want to express themselves and their style while standing out. Lulu is inspired by the idea of bringing art out of galleries and museums and making it accessible in everyday life. Through beautiful, comfortable, and unique clothing, she aims to popularize the positive influence of art. Through the photo session for “Color and Light”, created in collaboration with photographer Kostadin Krastev-Koko (three-time winner of the Golden Needle award), the designer aims to convey to her audience how unique, diverse, multi-layered, and colorful everyone is. “Let us not be afraid to express and show ourselves with this magnificent palette of qualities, emotions, thoughts, feelings, and states. Let us free ourselves from the prejudices and boundaries in which we are accustomed to being placed. Let us express ourselves through creativity and love. Let us be happy and always, always, always have fun,” adds Lulu, designer of the BYLLU fashion brand.

Golden Needle 2024

The most anticipated fashion event of the year is approaching—the Annual "Golden Needle" Awards by the Fashion Academy, which will be presented in early December, on the eve of Christmas. During a special ceremony at the Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia, the prestigious awards will honor the best designers, fashion creators, and companies in categories such as "Designer of the Year," "International Designer of the Year," "Fashion Brand of the Year," "Unique Fashion," "Prêt-à-Porter," "Best Young Designer," "Permanent Makeup," and more. The 35-member journalistic jury, serving as the expert media council, has already submitted its nominations, and in just a few days, the new laureates of Bulgaria's most prestigious and long-standing fashion award will be announced. For three decades, the Fashion Academy has recognized and supported Bulgaria’s finest fashion creators, providing a platform for the most talented designers and established fashion houses. This year, the tradition continues with an exquisite gala fashion show preceding the official award ceremony. Invited by the Fashion Academy, designers—including past award winners—will showcase their latest collections exclusively for the guests of the grand event. In connection with this milestone edition of the "Golden Needle," Professor Lyubomir Stoykov, Chairman of the Fashion Academy, stated:"It is truly exciting to celebrate 30 years since the first 'Golden Needle' award ceremony honoring Bulgaria's top fashion creators. That extraordinary event took place in 1994 at the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, shortly after the establishment of the Fashion Academy in Paris with honorary chairman David Pizanti. I believe this cultural and historical achievement will serve as a powerful impetus for the growth and enhancement of Bulgarian fashion design and our fashion industry. In fact, this has always been our fundamental mission over the decades—to inspire and encourage Bulgarian fashion designers and all creators in the field of style and beauty, to elevate their image, and to strengthen their reputation both domestically and internationally. I wish inspiration and success to all participants in the 'Golden Needle 2024'!" The gala evening will feature special outfits by previous "Golden Needle" award recipients, including Axel Hardy, Polya Kinova / PALOMA FASHION, Dr. Rositsa Rangelova, designer Stoyan Radichev, and Svetoslav Kolchagov. Alongside them, new collections will be presented by Albena Ivanova-Deyanova, designer of benmodel.by.albena; Ivette Apostolova, designer of Ivette Bianchi; Larisa Ninova, designer of Mistelari Leather Collection; Lilyana Petrova – LULU, designer of BYLLU; Milena Petrova, designer of Wolf Walley; and the thriving home textile brand SUHO. Under the patronage of Christian of Roma, notable hairstylist Emilia Baltalieva and renowned makeup artist Borislav Sokolov (known as Miss Boni) will present through unconventional performances. A highlight of the glamorous evening will also be the makeup show by Gabriela Karchina, a multi-award-winning artist recognized for her achievements in permanent makeup and her contributions to the art of makeup. The face of the Annual "Golden Needle 2024" Awards is Antoneta Boyanova, a charismatic top model and influencer. The event will be hosted by the stunning Geri Doncheva / Geri Doncheva Yankov. The "Golden Needle" statuettes, as always, are crafted by the exceptional jeweler Angelo Krasini. The fashion show is directed by Boyan Karaivanov, and the perfect looks of the models and host will be ensured by the hairstyling team from V&A Glamour Beauty Salons and professional makeup artists from MAC Cosmetics.
