Again
2 shows Since the Show Angewandte has been completely sold out for many years, there will be again two shows:
one at 6 pm and the second one at 8:30 pm. This will allow many more interested people to see the fashion show featuring creations
by some of the most promising talents from Austria’s only school that offers training in fashion with a university degree.
For the students the fashion show is the veritable highlight of the academic year but it has also become a unique scene event
around which a very special kind of hype has evolved.
Creations by students presented in a professional
showThe Show Angewandte was created to give students the opportunity to show their creations in the setting
of a professional fashion show. For many years the event has helped enhance the careers of young-generation fashion designers
and to increase their professionalization. This fashion show has also attracted a great amount of public interest and has
gained a high reputation not just within Austria but also internationally.
