Sevon Deja
The first i saw this brand was at the GTCO fashion weekend in 2025. And of course I am a fan of their pieces. Sevon Dejana brought couture craftsmanship to the runway. The collection showcased a beautiful blend of intricate floral embroidery, bold embellishments and structured silhouettes, with each look making its own statement.
