MODAVISION®, THE MOST AWAITED EVENT OF THE YEAR
By Teresa Mascarenhas
On the 8th of June, one of the most outstanding and renowned events in the international fashion industry, “MODAVISION®”, will be held in Madrid, at the Teatro Colegio Salesianos Estrecho, which is distinguished by its emblem “Fashion dresses for Peace”.
This international television competition is along the same lines as Eurovision; however, fashion will be the fundamental piece that will impregnate us with its elegance and distinction. Great designers from various nations around the world will compete for the prestigious title of “World’s Best Designer 2024”.
In addressing this magnificent MODAVISION® Global Cultural movement, closely supported by the NGO “UN Public Peacekeeping Union”, we refer to the prestigious Spanish entrepreneur, designer, scriptwriter and producer, Olga IF.
Olga has a great personality and ability; her eyes reflect a deep love and constant struggle. Although the world of fashion is not an easy world, her artistic and cultural career has experienced great success over the years.
She has perseveringly demonstrated the uniqueness of her work, achieving numerous awards, including being the only person in the world to have won a double GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™.
Her two projects “Maestro Kid” and “Kidraws” to help a Ukrainian family are on display at the Heroes of Peace Museum in Vienna.
In April 2022, she took part in a humanitarian bus trip to the border of Poland and Ukraine, with the aim of providing humanitarian aid and collecting refugees.
During this trip, filming and interviews were conducted, which are part of a documentary by Olga If.
Awarded in several Film Festivals, she has achieved the attention of the Oscar Academy; not forgetting that Olga is ranked 19th among the top 50 Spanish designers. A real example to follow.
The primary objective of MODAVISION® is to raise funds for a group of talented children with varying degrees of hearing impairment from the specialised school No. 5 in Kharkiv (Ukraine).
These children have to cope with armed conflict, lack of resources, constant threats and forced displacement.
Despite their physical, mental, economic and political difficulties, they strive to find ways to overcome the obstacles and seek peace through fashion.
The school and the Ukrainian circle of arts and crafts have organized workshops such as “Young Designer” and “ALISA Costume Theatre”, where they have made a collection of garments that will be included in the MODAVISION® fashion show.
Fashion allows children to live in a different world, to feel confident and to express their talent and individuality. The designs made by these young people demonstrate their creativity and ingenuity, as well as their ability to transform the world.
Part of the money raised during MODAVISION® will go to this specialised school.
In addition to being a solidarity event, another of the priority characteristics of the Global Cultural initiative of MODAVISION®, is to ensure a worthy participation among the designers of the different countries interested in this contest; who will travel to Madrid in order to represent their nation, exhibiting their fashion collection, opening doors for new names and young talents, as well as the possibility of taking the next editions of MODAVISION® to their countries.
The winners will be selected by a vote of the public and an international professional jury based on the evaluation of the fashion shows presented by each participant. The participant with the highest number of points will be recognised as the winner.
The International Organising Committee of the MODAVISION® Global Cultural Initiative invites us to attend this prestigious international event.

It is worth noting the gratifying work led by Olga, as the main responsible for equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion in fashion in this ambitious project.
The collaboration of MODAVISION® with the educational centre in Madrid (Teatro Colegio Salesianos Estrecho) and the school in Ukraine, makes this event very significant and important at an educational and formative level.
As it involves young people in an atmosphere where creativity plays a fundamental role, creating new opportunities, and where values so relevant in these difficult times, such as peace, equality, diversity and inclusion, are present, not only in the world of fashion, but in life itself.
This event opens frontiers and, at the same time, unites them.
MODAVISION® is organised with the support of Raquel Entero, Countess of Pineda, godmother of this great project; she is a researcher in Radionics and Bioplasma, founder of Bioespacio Natural Tasta.
Members of the jury include prominent figures such as the famous jewellery designer Lizi Fracchia, whose designs have been worn by royal and famous personalities.

Undoubtedly, MODAVISION®, will be a very new event with many surprises, including a totally surprising and unprecedented act, a unique experience, in which we can experience how art and the body merge with fashion. María Arcos (Coloured Mary), director and creator of Coloured Art Studio, will immerse us in the magic of Body Painting in real time, while beautiful models show beautiful collections.
Another of the most unique moments of this event is undoubtedly the stellar presence of Gennaro De Crescenzo, one of the most endearing and melodious Neapolitan voices.
Also, Jesús Fernandez, the renowned and great dancer from Granada who has managed to conquer the whole world with his talent, his great love and passion for flamenco.
In addition, this magnificent event will also count on the exclusive collaboration of the recording studio M.A.C Studio Production, located in Gibraltar, who will be dedicated to the musical production of Modavision®, through multiple original and unreleased tracks produced both for the designers and for this event itself.
And of course, Gemma Alpuente, a very talented young Valencian artist who in 2020 made a very important leap into the national market, winning the Alhambra Valencia 2023 Award. She will dazzle us with her art, drawing a live masterpiece that will then be auctioned in solidarity with the children of Ukraine.
The contemporary dance company CARABDANZA, will also be present and will show their methodology, based on the study of dance technique. The dancers will play their role as models, in order to help the designers create a work or story, which expresses emotion through movement.
Indeed, MODAVISION® is a very thought-provoking initiative, as we are all winners, be it in the training of designers, spectators, musicians, presenters, schools, collaborators, sponsors. The essence of MODAVISION® is: dream, struggle, creativity, achievement, enthusiasm, progress, unity, learning, humility, respect, tolerance and equality.
In short, the work that drives an entire society and makes it fairer.
