Maria Rejfová: Spartakiada
Materials like silk, wool and stretch cotton with only a few seams make the collection Spartakiada convenient and comfortable, but also elegant, sexy and fashionable. The decorative lettering „Pilsener Urquell“ is a satire on the dominance of logos on sportswear and at the same time pays tribute to well-known Czech businesses.

Bloodtransfer Crew: Bushido
Stimulated by the ancient code of values of the Samurai, students of communication, industrial and fashion design developed a streetwear collection for women inspired by snowboarding. Core of the concept is the radicalisation of snowboarding values: a sense of duty, loyalty and courage. These three values were incorporated in the material and colour concept, the collection and a shoe.
