During one day in March each year, we organize professional workshops, a fashion show and a benefit auction of designer items, the proceeds of which go to support women facing breast cancer.
/ Educational Workshops
Our intention is to provide visitors with the opportunity to meet interesting personalities from the field of fashion and design in an informal environment. In the past, our workshops have been hosted by professionals such as Ivona Petružálková and Žil Julie Vostalová, who have impressed those interested with their knowledge of creative production and digital fashion design.
/ Fashion Show
We give space to young up-and-coming talents from all over Europe. Students from high schools and universities present themselves at our event. Designers have the opportunity to showcase their work to the general public, as well as to journalists and fashion professionals.
/ Charity auction
Each year, the gala also includes a charity auction, the proceeds of which go to selected non-profit organizations. For the last six years we have been supporting women with breast cancer, specifically the Alliance of Women with Breast Cancer, o.p.s., which represents a total of 40 patient organizations.
/ Afterparty
The day-long programme traditionally ends with an afterparty, where not only Zlín electronic music creators are presented. We closely cooperate with a producer performing under the pseudonym Rainer, and NobodyListen played his set at the last edition.

Dear Diary
From innocence, to unbridled freedom, to death. Book The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer is an example of the metamorphosis that accompanies the designer of the collection throughout her life in her perception of the transformation of women. The concept is expressed by the poppy, which symbolizes life.

Exuviae
Just as humans grow out of their clothes and buy new ones, insects shed their exoskeleton as they evolve to allow metamorphosis into the next developmental stage. The theme of shedding old skin and the process of transformation runs throughout the collection.

Baia
The underwater town of Baia, near Naples, inspired Italian designers to embrace metamorphosis through the transformation of sculptures that change due to the marine environment. They illustrate this evolution by changing the fabrics and their elements.

Respect, comfort and self-expression. Elements that were overlooked in the creation of workwear in 1950s Czechoslovakia. Their purpose was to fit in with groups, not to stand out and not to show luxury. The collection takes a look through the eyes of designer Linda Minarčíková into the process of changing workwear from the 1950s to the present.

Sweet Resignation
Defense education and its impact on a society in which trauma and a sense of fear remain. This trauma was rooted in the designer's father and developed in him. The collection expresses the feelings of the next generation who feel the same feelings today.

Phoenix.
The feeling of being bound by the opinions of others and the subsequent rediscovery of freedom can be compared to the myth of the Phoenix. The outburst, the turning to ashes, the resurrection, the renewal and the final feeling of freedom. We too can experience situations where we feel bound by the opinions of others, which can lead to a sense of being burnt out and losing our identity and authenticity. However, if we find the courage to listen to our own voice and live in alignment with our true values, we can experience a similar transformation as the Phoenix.

Moth
Moths are fascinating creatures with interesting patterns adorning their delicate wings. The metamorphosis of moths can be a powerful metaphor for transformation and growth in a fashion collection, with each phase offering its own unique inspiration and design possibilities. Designer Tereza Pirklová has had a personal relationship with moth watching since childhood, which was influenced by her father's passion. The collection is aimed at women for whom creative thinking, individuality and a sense of personality are important. They like the hustle and bustle of a cultural city, but also the tranquility of nature and the present moment. The collection is inspired by the organic shapes and colorful textures found on the wings of the night butterfly lichen.

Metamorphosis is a natural evolutionary change and process within the different cycles of existence..
It occurs through the downfall, breaking point, and the subsequent new birth under the influence of internal as well as the external factors which may decelerate or accelerate the whole process.
This change symbolizes physical and psychological shifts inside any human being. It’s a phase when darkness together with fear surrounds you in an imaginary tunnel in which you see the black and white world of your identity. You exit it with a new consciousness that allows you to perceive the world through all the senses, simply colorful.
