Fashion Event Dotek is a project of students from the Faculty of Multimedia Communications of Tomas Bata University in Zlín.

The Fashion Event Dotek will take place on March 21, 2026. During the day, professional workshops will take place at partner locations in Zlín, and the entire program will culminate in a gala evening in one of the buildings of the Svit complex.

Students from secondary schools and universities with experience in fashion design are invited to apply for the Open Call. The collection must be created on the theme Fragments and include a minimum of five and a maximum of seven looks. Each application must include a collection annotation, a concept for the music accompaniment, and additional materials such as photos, sketches, or a moodboard. Only collections that have not been previously presented within the Fashion Event Dotek project are eligible. Each selected designer is required to contribute one look to the charity auction, which must be sent to the organizers no later than January 30, 2026. Materials for creating this look will be provided by the organizers. Submissions are open from October 22, 2025, to January 4, 2026.

Yes, the designer must be a high school or college student, but must have experience in the fashion design industry that demonstrates their orientation in the fashion industry and practice (portfolio, etc.).
