Between October 1 and 4, 2026, #Creativo – Social Creative Event returned for its 9th edition. One of the largest fashion events dedicated to bringing together education, industry and entrepreneurship, #Creativo brought together passionate, creative people eager to learn and discover the fashion industry.
Since the very first edition, #Creativo’s mission has been to bring fashion enthusiasts closer together and reveal the secrets behind the industry. This year, Atelierele ILBAH and Cusutsibrodat.ro organized 39 hands-on workshops, as well as two areas dedicated to demonstrations of new technologies and techniques.
Entrepreneurship and Business – powered by Stup BT
Our friends from Stup BT hosted workshops designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs understand the support available to them. The Marketing, Sales, HR and Entrepreneurship workshops provided practical advice that participants could easily apply to their own businesses.
Sewing
After learning how to use a sewing machine, participants created their first products: tote bags, makeup bags and collars.
Lingerie
Participants created their first pieces, including an elegant bra.
Computerized Embroidery
The computerized embroidery and embroidery digitizing workshops showed participants how easily products can be customized.
Sewing Patterns
Participants learned how to adapt an existing pattern to their own measurements, as well as how to create sewing patterns from scratch.
Computer-Aided Design
#Creativo featured presentations of CLO 3D and GemeniCAD software, giving participants a modern perspective on sewing patterns.
Fashion Design
The first creative steps into the world of fashion were taken during fashion illustration and draping workshops.
Styling
Participants received tips & tricks for looking stylish in everyday life, with advice that is easy to put into practice but can make a difference.
Upcycling
Fashion, without the waste. During the workshops, participants found inspiration and painted on clothes, created a scrunchie and made a bag from denim.
Customization
#Creativo visitors got to see demonstrations of some of the latest technologies: ScanNCut, sublimation printing, direct-to-fabric printing, tufting and the Brother Artspira app. They could also discover what Silver Reed knitting machines can do.
