We all share that familiar memory: our grandmothers’ intricately crocheted doilies – an irreplaceable part of home that we often dismiss today as relics of a bygone era. But what happens when we look at this tradition not as something obsolete, but as a medium that still has a powerful story to tell?

At TEDxVitosha: COUNTDOWN 7, world-renowned designer Ivan Donev will present his monumental project, “The Bulgarian Dress.” This breathtaking masterpiece unites the work of over 400 women from across Bulgaria, weaving together thousands of hand-crocheted doilies, each carrying its own unique family history. The creation revives forgotten beauty and preserves the art of generations of women as an inseparable part of our national memory.

Step into Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia on October 7 to discover how a single thread can seamlessly connect our grandmothers’ living rooms, the world’s most elite fashion runways, and the future of sustainable design.
