The 19th National Fashion Contest-Festival for Young Designers “AVANGARDAS 2025” will take place on April 5 in Birštonas, bringing together the most talented creators aged 11 to 19 from across Lithuania. Dedicated to the Year of M. K. Čiurlionis, the event invites participants to express their interpretations of the artist’s creative world—his visions, colors, lines, and symbols—through avant-garde fashion.

The audience will experience over 30 collections that blend traditional and experimental structures, innovative silhouettes, and bold creative decisions. Participants have been preparing for the festival since autumn: they explored Čiurlionis’ work, attended educational sessions at the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art, developed sketches, and—guided by their teachers—constructed costumes using a wide variety of materials.

The festival will conclude with an awards ceremony, where a professional jury—fashion designers, artists, and creative professionals—will select and honor the strongest collections.

“AVANGARDAS 2025” is not only a competition but also a unique platform for the young generation to present their talent, explore sustainable and bold fashion, and combine youthful creativity with the legendary spirit of M. K. Čiurlionis.
