KRAKW, POLAND - For the fifth time Cracow Fashion Awards will open Cracow Fashion Week on 16th March 2013. Young designers, graduates of the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design will present their collections, which are a statement of their fashion choices and inspiration. We'll see both creative, brave designs and ready to wear collections fitting in with the current trends. The show will be performed by male and female models from the REKLAMEX Modeling Agency, co-organizer of the event.

All collections will be evaluated by the Media Jury and Fashion Professionals Jury including amongst others: Ewa Jagielska-Zak, Anna Jatczak, Ilona Kanclerz, Michal Zaczynski, Krystyna Mazurwna, Jerzy Antkowiak, Dorota Wrblewska and Monika Onoszko. They will decide who will receive the prestigious statuette Collection of the Year, in addition to internships and trips abroad funded by the CFW partners. We will also be able to vote for the best collection at www.ksa.edu.pl from Wednesday 20th March 3pm until Wednesday 27th March 3pm. Both the winner and the voters can win attractive prizes.

Cracow Fashion Week offers also a great range of other events. In addition to the competition for young designers the organisers have also planned other shows, lectures by well known fashion world personalities, photography exhibitions, fashion and jewelry workshops, a fashion bloggers conference, a swap, design fair and the first ever in Krakow, High Heels Run celebrating Galeria Kazimierz's birthday. A detailed schedule of events can be seen at www.cracowfashionweek.com.

Thanks to the great commitment of the organisers, participants and fashion enthusiasts previous editions of Cracow Fashion Week were a great success both in the Polish and in the international media. This event positioned Krakow amongst the fashion capitals of the world. However, we must remember that the main aim of Cracow Fashion Week is to give young fashion designers an opportunity to join the fashion world and help them with their first steps towards success in this elite profession.
