The pandemic that hit the world in 2020 significantly affected global business and the fashion industry. Companies have been forced to rethink their current way of doing business, while consumers have reviewed their priorities, emerging needs and constraints, care for health, the environment, and the community. All these aspects together have shaped a slightly different global fashion market and companies' business practices, which have made great efforts to maintain their status, audience, and sales. The focus of this paper is Milan's "Fashion Week" held during 2020 and innovative technological solutions that serve to compensate for the limitations imposed by circumstances. Also, there's a few words about other (un)predictable situations such as price fluctuations, closure of production plants, overcoming safety and environmental challenges, and sustainable business.

The paper was created to analyse the clothes of the ktetoress and her daughter in the patroness composition in Donja Kamenica's Church of the Virgin. Along with the analysis of the clothes made, a small review of their headdresses, which are an integral part of the mediaeval costume, is also given. However, the emphasis is on textiles, textile design, dress design, and finding examples of comparison in mediaeval portrait painting of the 14th century from the area of mediaeval Serbia and Bulgaria. The intention is to point out the similarities and differences in clothing between other noble females and the ktetors of Donja Kamenica, as well as the specifics in the dress of these others.

Sergei Dragilev recognized the vitality of modern art that brought freshness to the culture, so all innovative artists of the time were invited to join his campaign and goal. And he reflected on the fact that ballet breaks the shackles of the traditional concept in the performance of dance, music, costume design, and scenography and imposes an element of challenge by introducing current contemporary tendencies in art and culture. All the famous names of the art of that time brought the latest achievements of modern art into the world of dance: Pablo Picasso, Natalia Goncharova, Henri Matisse, and Giorgio de Chirico. And with them, the design of scenography and costume design took the form of cubism, fauvism, futurism, surrealism, and other avant-garde movements, while refreshing the themes, which overall influenced ballet to become part of popular culture.
