Milosavljević Šćepanović, wanting to fulfill the wishes of the users of "Grabovac", took care during the organization that the evening also had a musical segment, and this time, after the fashion show, in the cafe bar "Grabovac", the star of the evening will perform, Nenad Knežević Knez with the band.

In an interview with "Vijesti", Milosavljević Šćepanović recalls that the event was created with the aim of drawing attention to the elderly and their needs, but also to encourage social responsibility, but he admits that the organization itself is not easy.

"This is the eighth 'Fashion Night in Grabovac' in a row and we try to make it innovative every year. This year, the catwalk at the Home for the Elderly in Risan becomes a time machine. The theme of the event itself is called Yugoslavia, because we want to revive the most beautiful memories of the users through music, fashion and the recognizable spirit of that time. It is the time of their youth, love and friendship," reveals Milosavljević Šćepanović.

"We will bring together the past and the present, showing that elegance, style and togetherness never get old. Ladies will walk in creations by Bojana Čelebić, and a collection inspired by the style Jovanke Broz "Like the previous ones, it was done carefully following the wishes of the users themselves," adds the interviewee of "Vijesti" and reminds that Čelebić was part of this event for the first time last year.

"I saw how much emotion the event caused in her, and it is well known that she is a young woman and there was no doubt that I would invite her to participate this year, because the goal of the event is to draw the attention of young people to the elderly who must not be forgotten by society," explains the former Miss Montenegro.

"It's very rare these days to meet someone so young who has the kind of empathy that I felt from her when I first met them," she pointed out.

"Male models will be shown wearing clothing combinations from the Montana brand. In a special part of the fashion show, users of the 'Support for Community Living' service will present creations by Ms. Ljuba Šljuka," added Milosavljević Šćepanović.

"Prominent opera artist Milica Lalošević will be a special guest of the evening and will participate in this year's program of the 'Fashion Night in Grabovac' event, and a special highlight of the evening will be her performance of the festive song 'Hey, Slovenes'. After the show, there will be a performance by Nenad Knežević Knez, someone who best combines that timeless energy, awakens the most beautiful memories, erases borders and connects all generations," she announced the program of this year's event.

When asked what is her main motivation for continuing to organize this event after eight years, Milosavljević Šćepanović says that "after the first event, it was no longer just a fashion show for her."

"It's a circle of special emotions in which I give them a beautiful evening with my modest contribution, and they give me back a reminder of what's most important in life. As I like to say - they take me back to the factory settings," the model explains with a smile.

"Every year I repeat that you should come, experience, see that night of special emotions, because I cannot describe them in words. A lot has changed in eight years, but the most important thing is always present - the happiness on their faces when the program begins," concludes Milosavljević Šćepanović.

But although he enjoys preparing this event, he admits that such an engagement brings challenges and difficulties in organization.

"It's always a challenge when a creator finishes their creations - whether they met their criteria and whether they will like them, the responsibility to their expectations, because they wait for this event all year. It's also a challenge when they want to participate even though their physical capabilities don't allow it," she says.

"I would especially emphasize that we live in a time when money is difficult to allocate for projects that do not have a pure commercial benefit, and every year it is a challenge to find the support of partners who will not see their personal benefit in this, but rather social responsibility and empathy. We are grateful that we have created a circle, I can freely say friends, who have been with this project from the very beginning and recognize the mission. But it would certainly be nice if, after eight years, this social responsibility were felt more widely and if institutions and businessmen themselves would extend an invitation and be part of this event," says the interviewee of "Vijesti".

The number of users interested in participating in the show is large, but he says he always finds, or creates, enough models for all of them.

"So far, always, and I believe this year as well, because we have two ladies who expressed their desire when the implementation started and Bojana was informed about it and based on her reaction when I told her, despite all the obligations and the time that is not much until the show, I have no doubt that those two creations will be ready," she reveals.

At the end of the conversation, Milosavljević Šćepanović also reveals that, given that the event has been going on for eight years, there are some models who have been participants from the very beginning, and have walked the runway every year.

"Oh yes, from day one - Slobodan Zivkovic, Milorad Vuković, Anita Franovic, Milorad Pesic, Zivojin Zika Djokic...whom when I see on the runway I feel like eight years have not passed, because they are there with the same passion and energy every year. Judging by them, I would never say that so many years have passed since the first fashion show, but only a few days,” said Milosavljević Šćepanović.
