This year’s spring edition of Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week (MBPFW) registered a record number of international fashion professionals. The international dimension of the showcase is one of its main goals, which is being met particularly due to the worldwide prestige of Mercedes-Benz fashion events and the attractive programme of the local version.

The guests included modelling stars – Czech super model Karolína Kurková, Polish top model Magdalena Frackowiak, and Slovak model Filip Hrivňák.
The March Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week edition (MBPFW) presents besides other things the first ever high dressmaking catwalk show, so called haute couture, in the Czech Republic.
