The Czech Centre in partnership with Prague’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design will present a collection of garments inspired by the 100 year’s anniversary of the Czech Republic’s independence. Designed by the talented students of award-winning Czech fashion designer and legendary educator Liběna Rochová, ‘Power of Identity: Memory Fashion Message’ builds on previous atelier activities. It explores the theme of national identity through various inspirational sources, including international cooperation with the renowned Bunka Fashion Graduate University in Tokyo (BFGU).
The collection will be presented in London in the form of a site-specific fashion performance accompanied by music and audio-visual back-ground. The purpose is to present the talent of young Czech designers as well as the history of Czech design and textile making to a wide audience and create an immersive unforgettable experience.
