KRAKW, POLAND - During the recent Cracow Fashion Awards 2013, we had a chance to see 60 young designers, graduates of the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design.

Among many interesting collections and creative ideas seen on the catwalk, we selected five exceptional designers whose work really stood out. These young people have a great chance to achieve a lot in the fashion industry if they are persistent enough, continue to work hard, and don't lose their individuality. Have a look at our selection below and make sure you remember their names.

"Ego" by Katarzyna Ciejek featured minimalistic all-white skirts, dresses, coats, and jackets. Gentle shades of white contrasted with strong metal elements. Great collection!

Katarzyna Zieba showed a beautiful collection inspired by childhood memories. Pastel and white dresses combined with black jackets, hats, and flower accessories, created a soft and girly look. The collection reminded us of the "living doll fashion" which is very popular in Asian countries, especially Japan and Korea.

5. KWIATOSLAWA DEPRET - FASHION ANATOMIC

An interesting collection by Kwiatoslawa Depret featured unique designs and accessories inspired by human anatomy. Some items had surprising details at the back, others combined simple geometric lines with creative patterns. We can't wait to see the next collection by this talented designer.
