"Eco-fashion" refers to stylized clothing that uses environmentally sensitive fabrics and responsible production techniques. The Polish academy SAPU - Szkola Artystycznego Projektowania Ubioru (School of Art and Fashion Design) in Krakow has been creating ecological clothes for over ten years.
This year the freshmen were working with diverse kinds of paper to present their unique work of durable and wearable clothes. It was a spectacular fashion show: the various creative collections were applauded by over 1500 guests.
The second year students showcased large assortment of oversized quilted garments made with recycled material.
Over 300 people in all had contributed to the fashion show sponsored by the Polish company Polski System Recyklingu Organizacja Odzysku S.A.
The recycling show was an opening event for "The Fashion Academy Award" - the international contest for young designers, organized by Goethe Institut, Quelle and EUNIC Berlin. Opening shows for this contest will be held in 21 countries.
