The grand prize winner of the 2013 festival was Elena Kolyasnikova, a production designer for the Belarusian Drama Theatre. She participates in many modern art exhibitions. Her "Dusha Dospeha" collection was represented at Mamont 2013 and was considered to be well thought-through, unique and conceptual. The most unusual part is the process of costume-making. The entire collection is made of 100% wool from Stavropol fine-wool sheep. Moreover, Elena used the technique of seamless on-wet felting the same way valenki, wool boots, are made. For five costumes of wool was used which was turned into felt. The elements of the costumes were attached with the help of metal buttons, rivets and decorated with eyelets. This way, the collection was not sewn but constructed, which required four months. Her combination of modern costumes and medieval armor elements made Kolyasnikova the winner and grand prize holder of the 2013 festival. Between the competition and gala concert there was also a presentation of fashion art films. 24 films were represented; the winner was the Belgian Show-room by Guido Verelst.
