Benedetti Life Displays The Whales Collection at Ljubljana Fashion Week
Benedetti Life displays The Whales Collection at Ljubljana Fashion Week. Benedetti Life is an award-winning Slovenian luxury fashion house founded by designer Matea Benedetti. Rooted in a distinctive artistic language, Benedetti Life reimagines contemporary elegance through exceptional design, ethical innovation, and pioneering the use of materials that honour life.
Crafted in Italy and Slovenia in limited editions, each creation brings together refined craftsmanship, artistic expression, and a new generation of cruelty-free materials, including plant-based innovations and materials derived from by-products of the food industry. The result is a contemporary vision of luxury in which beauty, innovation, and responsibility exist in harmony.
Each collection draws inspiration from nature and endangered species, translating their
stories into a distinctive fashion vocabulary of preservation, interconnectedness, and respect for the living world. Through its collections, Benedetti Life transforms fashion into a cultural and artistic dialogue between humanity and nature.
The house has also established a presence on some of the world’s most prestigious red carpets, with creations seen at the Oscars, as well as Cannes, Sarajevo and Venice Film Festivals.
Timeless, innovative fashion, created with the future in mind. Because true luxury should never come at the expense of the planet.
The Whales
“The Whales” SS/27 is a tribute to the quiet majesty of the ocean. The collection transforms the immense beauty and intelligence of whales into a language of contemporary luxury. Sculptural silhouettes, refined craftsmanship and distinctive details meet a new generation of materials — including innovative plant-based materials derived from olives, algae and eucalyptus, alongside organic cotton. Created in limited editions, the collection brings together art, innovation and responsible luxury, celebrating the extraordinary relationship between humanity and the natural world.
“The Whales” Collection — where the poetry of the ocean becomes fashion.

Ljubljana Fashion Week
Ljubljana Fashion Week (LJFW) is a platform for both established and emerging Slovenian designers to showcase their talent to local and international audiences. Since its foundation in 2014, LFJW has grown into a hub for designers, press, and the wider creative community in Slovenia’s capital.
From its first edition, LJFW has explored a variety of mediums to bring fashion to its audiences, ranging from film to public projections. Its programme now consists of catwalks, exhibitions, talks, student presentations and the LJFW WOW awards.
Through connections with Fashion Scout SEE, Belgrade Fashion Week, Budapest Central European Fashion Week and Berlin Fashion Week, LJFW has created opportunities for Slovenian fashion beyond its home market, and afford designers the visibility they need in order to grow.
