A Night to Remember
This year’s GlamZGala attracted a wide range of young models, designers, and influencers, all eager to showcase their talents.

The diverse audience, which included local communities and international supporters, created a vibrant, multicultural atmosphere, enhancing the overall excitement and energy of the night.
As GlamZGala continues to grow, it remains a beacon of opportunity for young talent in the global fashion industry. Each event raises the bar, drawing in a more diverse and talented group of participants and supporters. The Los Angeles edition was a resounding success, leaving attendees eager for future collaborations and events. In the words of Anna Matchneva, founder of GlamZGala, “It’s incredible to see how much passion and creativity these young talents bring to the stage. GlamZGala is about giving them the space to shine and inspire others, and tonight they did just that.”
As the curtains closed on this magical night, one thing was clear: GlamZGala is not just an event—it’s a movement, celebrating the next generation of trendsetters, artists, and visionaries. The future of fashion has never looked brighter.
