KRISTINA PÍCHOVÁ, Czech Republic,Collection: “TECHNOSIS“
The main theme of the collection is technology which, thanks to its fast progress, touches on all of us. Technosis is a plunge in the achievements of technology where one is threatened with a loss of identity. The shape differences represent the contrast between the present day technology expressed in simple clean shapes and the technology of the past with voluminous draped shapes. The used materials are Astonika, Durofol and copper bands that are otherwise used for technology purposes. The collection is complemented with footwear by Lenka Štepánková.

PETRA PTÁCKOVÁ, Czech Republic, Collection: “FOREST FAIRY“
The young designer will introduce her dreamlike collection named FOREST FAIRY. It is inspired with the forest, crystal clear green-blue colour of a lake, power and strength of the tree trunks and lightness of the fairies feet. The selection of materials was influenced by an attempt to express the contrast between the strong and rough materials expressing the winter with soft and airy ones representing the life of the fairies. The show will be underlined by a video-projection by co-operating authors - video: Nikolas Tušl, music: Michal Vanek, dancer: Jana Wrána.

LENKA SRŠNOVÁ, Slovakia, Collection: “PRINCE“
The collection is inspired by the fairy-tale world of princes and princesses. The majority of the collection consists of men's clothes referring to the period of knights, princes and gallant warriors. The cuts draw from the motives of armours, protective clothes and layers. The silhouette is elegant, crossing over to informal style. The collection contains also three women's models that represent the young and innocent “virgin” as well as the seductive “vamp” and mature “queen”.

LUBOMÍR VALDHANS, Czech Republic,Collection: “SCO – KOTISH“
“I was just drafting a couple of ideas for making the wardrobe a bit more interesting… how to bring new life to some pieces… how to use the experience from my trip to the island… And suddenly I realised that I was probably being too serious about the Scottish thistle, St. Andrew's cross, red lion, tartan and toughness… that I should lighten it with some colour, lace, spangle, jewellery…”

SONA ZAJACOVÁ, Slovakia, Collection: “PORCELAIN“
The Porcelain collection contains 12 models. The designer focuses on the cuts of men's jackets, coats and dress-coats and adapted them to feminine curves. The main inspiration comes from the military fashion and clothes. Models are complemented with glass pieces that emphasise the fragility and move the motive of war to another dimension. In designing the collection she used foundry glass for modelling accessories, such as corsets or collars. Tempered glass is used as splinters. There are three principal colours: white representing peace, neatness, fragility and delicacy of a woman, grey for hardness and dirtof the military uniform and war, red for femininity and blood.
