Cracow the city widely known as the Polish capital of art and culture has already been listed as one of the world’s 25 fashion centers.
Cracow is playing an important role in Polish fashion agenda. The city hosts several significant events such as Cracow Fashion Awards, organized by the Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design and Cracow Fashion Week where new talents are discovered.
Presenting your work during fashion competitions is important, and winning one is a dream for each designer. Cracow Fashion Awards is known for having helped young designers such as already acclaimed names as Elwira Horosz and Peggy Pawlowski launch their careers. Their designs range from flirty and feminine at Horosz to loose and bohemian at Pawlowski, and both of them put a lot of effort in making their collection look perfectly crafted and desirable to wear. Pawlowski’s “Gavroche” collection quickly came to the attention of both fashion press and the educational establishment. Her talent and unique collection were rewarded not only on the national level – “Golden Thread” during competitions in Łodź, but also international – the Grand Prix at the 9th Annual Competition for Young Fashion Artists and Designers “Habitus Baltija” which took place in Riga in April 2009.
