Bratislava Fashion Days- Jana Pištejová

Better late than never, so here we go...

13.-15.10. 2014

Bratislava Fashion Days (BMD) is the largest fashion event in Slovakia, this fall’s season was held at the Refinery Gallery in the area of Slovakia’s biggest refinery factory. BMD is usually closed to the public, however this year a few changes were made; such as the catwalk show open to the public in the center of Bratislava’s old town. Many great, experienced, and young fashion designers presented their work; such as Jana Pištejová in collaboration with young and talented RóbertVrzala. Making the fashion show an experience worth watching was not only the beautiful dresses, but also the musical performances of a young boys’ choir, and one of the most popular Slovak hip hop artists Rytmus.

A new addition to BMD was also children’s fashion, which was an innovation compared to any previous fashion events in Bratislava.
