In less than a week Sibiu will become, for the 10th time, the fashion capital of the world. Feeric Fashion Week will transform Sibiu and its surroundings in a grand stage where the newest collections of over 30 guest designers will be unveiled to the public. Between 17 – 23 July all fashion lovers present at the festival will be embarking on a journey from Alice’s Wonderland to a realm of love woven with silk thread taffeta and Swarovski crystals. These are just some of the attributes that characterize the attires that will be spotted on the runways during the 10th edition. Once again the lake of Sibiu Zoo together with the stone query of Turnu Rosu and Sibiu-Rasinari tram and not only, will be transformed in fairytale-like runways.
Feeric Fashion Week begins on July 17th at the location of Jidvei, the festival’s main partner: Tăuni estate is the place where Irina Duţu Zgâia will present, starting from 2 o’clock in the afternoon, a collection inspired by children stories and influenced by Lewis Carroll’s book „Alice in Wonderland”. The opening event will be followed by a collection signed by Vali Cioban that will take you a step back in time, to be precise in the 20’s – the show will begin at 5 o’clock in the afternoon inside the Jidvei Castle located at Cetatea de Baltă.
On the 18th of July Feeric Fashion Week moves back to Sibiu to make way for the creations of the students from UAD Cluj-Napoca (University of Arts and Design from Cluj-Napoca) starting with 2pm at Redal Expo. On the same day at 5pm, NousMode will make „a bet with tastes and surpassing human and artistic limits”- as she herself describes the collection – on the lake of Sibiu Zoo. Evening time brings the inauguration of the photo exhibition at Versailles by Buonavista from 7pm. The same place will be hosting afterwards the „Yolo party by Landiana”, a concept created by Landiana Cerciu, vice-president of Feeric Fashion Week.
The Turnu Rosu stone query will become as well a runway for The Secret Code Of Fashion starting with Wednesday 19th of July 2pm.

Bianca Popp makes her comeback at la Feeric Fashion Week this year to show-off her most recent collection on July 20th, 2pm, at the Boromir Factory – an event created with the support of the Ground Force Academy. An impressive amount of military objects will help transform the train tracks inside the factory in a warrior-like setting – perfectly contrasting the delicacy of Bianca Popp’s collection.
Starting with 5pm the same Boromir factory will be hosting the show of one of the „historic” foreign designers present here at Feeric Fashion Week, Charles & Ron. Piaţa Mare (main square) by the entrance of Brukenthal Palace, will become itself a fashion runway starting from 8pm when Alina Moza will present a collection inspired by shapes – spiral, triangle, circle, rhombus – and completed with hats as accessories.

Le Pampillon, Retno Tan, Visori and Marios Karavasilis will follow throughout the second evening in the Feeric Venue.
On Friday, July 21st from 2pm, Cylia Dora’s collection will be presented at „Brukenthal” Palace of Avrig.

In the evening, from 8 pm, Feeric Fashion Week returns to its historic center to see the Stairway Passage (Pasajul Scarilor) in the catwalk for Paulita Erazuriz’s collection – it will bring you back to the rock 60’s and the lifestyle of London, Berlin or Paris.
