The story

Svyata Lnu Rodnae Modnae in Upper Town, Minsk

Minsk turns Upper Town into an open-air catwalk each summer when Svyata Lnu Rodnae Modnae puts Belarusian flax on display through fashion, craft and food. Set on the square by Minsk City Hall, the two-day gathering pairs a linen fair with runway shows from local designers and a children's clothing contest called Lyanochak. Flax has been a national industry for generations, and the festival treats the fibre as both heritage and modern fashion material.

02

The mystery stays covered

03

The city starts moving

The Upper Town setting adds visual polish: runway shows and market stalls sit among Minsk's most photogenic streets rather than in a convention hall
