Eight years ago, Feeric Fasion Days was becoming the first fashion festival in Sibiu, a city that held the title of European Capital of Culture. Respecting the city`s symbol the festival set out to promote the city through spectacular unique fashion shows, completely different from the traditional ones. Thus, eight years later, Feeric Fashion Days became the most important fashion week in Eastern Europe.
Along these eight years, Feeric Fashion Days was a launching point for young Romanian designers, and also a perfect place for well-known designers to promote their works. The shows in the festival have used spaces that seemed to have been improper for cat walk, thus giving the festival its own charm. There have been shows in stone quarries, on the railway in the Depot of the National Railway, on the bank of the river in the garden of the summer palace of Samuel von Brukenthal, in the middle of the fountain in the Large Square in the city center, on the alleys of the Open Air Museum or on the tram that connects Sibiu to Rasinari. And the list could go on.
After eight years that have transformed the atipical into normal, Feeric Fashion Days gives a note of traditionalism to the bigest fashion week in Eastern Europe. For the first time, Feeric Fashion Days will be held consecutively in two of the most beautiful cities in the center of Transilvania, Alba Iulia and Sibiu. The festival begins in 4-5 of July in Alba Iulia and will continue in Sibiu in 7-12 July. In total a number of 50 designers will present their new collections, in individual shows and also in gala. Each night, in Alba Iulia there will be Feeric Fashion Gala on a cat walk in Gate 3 of the Fortress Alba Iulia Carolina. In Sibiu, the Gala Feeric will take palce on a suspended cat walk across the Liar`s Bridge in the Small Square.
“In Sibiu and in Alba Iulia we will have great collections as the designers are doing great. We will have a number of 20 Romanian designers, some that have been recognized internationally for their work, and at the same time we will have a great number of foreign designers.
