>> SATURDAY 19 August <<

LECTURE in the KABO Forum – Hall V

14.00 – 14.30
„Why we do not have feathers and what birds can not do - the secrets of communication with clothing.“
More than 80 % of what is visible on you is a garment. Every day, from morning to evening, we use clothes as isolation from weather and people’s sight. How do the clothes communicate with you? What are they telling you? And what signals do you transmit with your clothing to others? Analyse garments from a different point of view with me and find out what we have in common with birds.
Speaker: Daniel Šmíd - Consultant in the Affairs of Elegance and Tact

LECTURE in the LIVE GALLERY Forum – Hall P

14.00 – 14.30
„Swimwear and beach fashion - Near reality of 2018, trends for 2019 or bikini and burkini where you would not expect them (Balkan versus Western Europe).“
What parts of last year's visions and trends really stayed in collections for the summer? Where will we be heading in the near future? How did the current summer probe into the present reality of two perceptions of beach fashion in different parts of Europe finish? Who will win - faith or the market?
Speaker: Ing. Martin Kárych – ALTRA company

14.30 – 15.00
„The Czech Republic in the European survey of maintenance symbols marking“
The indication of the manner of maintenance is one of the garment’s important trust-worthy elements for the consumer. If it is missing from the garment, up to 80% of customers will refrain from the purchase. This and other interesting information emerged from a consumer awareness survey on clothing maintenance symbols in six European countries carried out by the GINETEX International Association for Textile Marking.

LECTURE on the Catwalk – Hall P

Trend lecture and a fashion show (spring / summer 2018) with the subtitle "THE NEW LIFE OF FASHION" - creating awareness of value and adding beauty in FASHION"
The fashion business faces a huge transition; the only thing we know for sure is that everything changes. Due to globalisation, Fast Fashion entered the marketplace, overloading consumers with cheap goods with the effect that nobody knows about the value and meaning anymore.
A dead end road which we have to turn into a sustainable healthy business with a purpose, lead by creative thinking and adding beauty!
