With his global fashion experience, Stefan Kokovic elevates Austria’s style scene to international standards. An evening full of glamour, fashion, and unforgettable moments: On 27th of September this year, Palais Festetics became the stage for Austria’s art, creative, and fashion scene. Over 500 guests accepted the invitation of award-winning star photographer Stefan Kokovic to his photo exhibition “1990” – a spectacular retrospective of the iconic 90s. Kokovic’s works, inspired by the legendary supermodels and photographers of that era, revived the creative spirit of the 90s.

The VIP Guests and Glamour of Palais Festetics
Among the invited guests were prominent personalities such as top model Nadine Mirada, Count Basic mastermind Peter Legat with his wife Daniela, GNTM 2022 winner Lou-Anne Gleissenebner with her mother and GNTM 2022 finalist Martina Gleissenebner-Teskey – both dressed in Callisti. Designer Martina Callisti herself was also present. Other guests included ex-ORF lady Cathy Zimmermann, influencer Kerstin Zacharias, drag duo Pandora Nox and Liam Choclit, designer Nicolas Dudek, professional dancer Herby Stanonik, Miss Austria Lucia Sisic, and many more. They were all deeply impressed by Kokovic’s unique images and celebrated the special magic of the 90s with the artist well into the early morning hours.
It was a colorful and illustrious crowd that stormed Palais Festetics on Friday evening. They all came for one reason: to celebrate Stefan Kokovic and his latest exhibition “1990.” Kokovic had plenty to celebrate himself. For one, “1990” marks his tenth exhibition, and it was also his birthday. These two significant aspects added a particularly emotional and personal dimension to the evening. “The 90s were a turning point in fashion. This exhibition is my love letter to that era! After a rather rough and challenging year for me, this evening feels like the culmination of everything I’ve worked on for so long,” said Kokovic.

Celebrating Fashion with Haute Couture and Photography
Even the VIP guests’ arrival was impressive! They were chauffeured in brand-new, stylish CUPRAs directly to the red carpet of Palais Festetics. Among them were artist and DJ Pandora Nox – who also provided the evening’s soundtrack – with drag king Liam Choclit, Lou-Anne Gleissenebner with her mother Martina, and Kevin Ziehberger from Addicted to Models. The latter also shone as a partner of the entire event. A dozen beautiful models showcased impressive haute couture creations by up-and-coming designers like Nicolas Dudek, Moulham Obid, David Vesely, Jennifer Milleder, and Galina, who combined the style of the 90s with modern influences in a particularly sophisticated way, making them the fashion highlights of the evening. Many guests also impressed with spectacular looks, stylishly putting themselves in the spotlight. The evening ended with a grand finale at the stylish KRYPT.BAR, where Stefan Kokovic and his “1990” exhibition were celebrated until the early hours.
