Dilfuza Fashion Show at World Woman Forum 2025

Kazakhstan’s Rising Fashion Icon Blends Kazakh Heritage with Maldivian Flair

In a breathtaking celebration of culture and creativity, Kazakhstan’s young fashion sensation, Dilfuza, made a triumphant return to the global fashion stage at the World Woman Forum 2025, held during Global Business Week in the Maldives. This marks her second international showcase, solidifying her reputation as a visionary designer with a unique artistic voice.

🌺 A Collection that Speaks Across Borders

Dilfuza’s 2025 collection captivated audiences with its bold fusion of traditional Kazakh ornaments and the lush floral motifs of the Maldives, reimagined through contemporary design language. Her signature use of custom prints and modern silhouettes brought heritage to life with fresh elegance — earning praise from critics, influencers, and fashion lovers alike.

Every piece told a story — of identity, beauty, and cultural pride — blending central Asian craftsmanship with tropical vibrancy. The collection was a tribute not only to Kazakhstan but also to global unity through fashion.

🌍 A Global Runway of Powerful Women

The runway show featured prominent women from around the world as models — entrepreneurs, diplomats, and artists — each proudly wearing Dilfuza’s designs. Their presence underscored the universal appeal and versatility of Kazakh style and highlighted female empowerment through cultural expression.

This international collaboration turned the catwalk into a symbol of solidarity, diversity, and elegance, with Dilfuza’s vision at its heart.

💬 A Designer on a Mission

“I believe fashion is not only about trends — it’s about telling stories,” Dilfuza said after the show. “With this collection, I wanted to create a visual dialogue between Kazakhstan and the Maldives, between tradition and innovation, and between women of different cultures who inspire me every day.”

🏝️ A Highlight of Global Business Week 2025

Held on the idyllic shores of the Maldives, the World Woman Forum 2025 served as a global gathering of women leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs. Dilfuza’s show was a highlight of the week, offering a powerful message: fashion can be a bridge between worlds — and the women who wear it can change them.

The 25th Anniversary Startup World Cup Championship: The Future is in Good Hands!

In July 2025, the picturesque Maldives hosted the 25th anniversary Startup World Cup Championship for children and youth — an event that became a celebration of ideas, innovations and leadership of the new generation. 

This year, the championship brought together young entrepreneurs from 35 countries, and each team demonstrated not just projects, but real maturity of thinking and a willingness to change the world for the better. The international jury, consisting of business community leaders, noted the depth of the projects and the students' ability to adapt to changing conditions.

An important part of the championship was the special atmosphere of support and co-creation. Behind each project there was a team of professional mentors and teachers from MiniBoss and BigBoss Bussines Schools, who not only shared knowledge and experience, but also created an atmosphere of trust, motivation and support.

The mentors helped the participants develop a strategy, perfect their presentation skills and cope with the excitement of defending their projects. Parents also played a huge role - they inspired the children by their example, helped them believe in themselves and supported them at every step.

A special role in the success of the participants is played by the unique teaching methods at MiniBoss and BigBoss Bussines Schools. Educational approaches allow each student to reveal their talents and potential, give them the opportunity to express themselves outside the usual framework and acquire skills relevant for the 21st century.

During the training, students not only master the theoretical foundations of business and entrepreneurship, but also learn to apply knowledge in practice - develop real projects, analyze real business situations and find innovative solutions.

An important element of the program is the development of leadership and entrepreneurial competencies. Students practice teamwork, learn to take responsibility for the result, present their ideas to experts and investors.

The school helps to develop entrepreneurial intelligence - the ability to see opportunities where others see only difficulties, think strategically and act with confidence.

The winners of the championship not only won well-deserved awards, but also became an example for many of their peers, proving that awareness, hard work and innovative thinking are the path to success regardless of age.

The Startup World Cup Championship among children and youth in the Maldives in 2025 became not only an arena for identifying new generation leaders, but also a unique platform for exchanging experiences, creative ideas and forming new partnerships.

The Startup World Cup Championship is a shining example of what a systematic approach to the development of children and adolescents can lead to. At MiniBoss and BigBoss Bussines Schools, they teach not only to dream, but also to act, to see things through to the end, and to create value for others.

Students participating in the school programs become true leaders: courageous, disciplined, and ready to change the world for the better. And success at the World Cup proves that the future of entrepreneurship is in the safe hands of the new generation!
