Following successful talks with important guests of Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week - journalist Jessica Michault or Vogue Italia's stylist and talent scout Alessandro Buzzi, MBPFW introduces a new wider platform. An international professional conference called Business Forward Forum by ČEZ & Forbes will provide even more support to the professional and business focus of the entire event and to the effort to restart Czech fashion industry.

The one-day forum will offer a global as well as local view of fashion and design business. Four panel discussions comprising Czech and international personalities will offer a 360° view of fashion industry’s current topics; they will attempt to reflect its latest development and to predict its nearest future.

The current edition of Mercedes-Benz Prague Fashion Week F/W16 strengthens the business side of things and its contribution to the professionals again. The first official showroom called Re-see Showroom supported by Nespresso will complement the catwalk show with “a close up”. The all-day event will provide designers with the opportunity to present their work to buyers, journalists, stylists as well as the general public in great detail while enjoying a cup of premium Nespresso coffee.

The Kvalitář gallery provided the showroom’s venue. The gallery’s unique conception of various disciplines complementing and supporting each other corresponds greatly to the Prague fashion week’s approach. Kvalitář will offer a confrontation of contemporary fashion with contemporary art as designers’ current collections will be installed in halls where a retrospective of Michal Škoda, the head curator of the House of Art in České Budějovice, will be opened at the same time.

LAB 24 showroom in Letná in Prague presents Alexmonhart, a brand for men. A unique high-end street wear affair, a basic line of Alexmonhart backpacks, new things as well as an experience of the space throbbing in sync with the heart of a guy who loves the city and its feel.

During spring MBPFW, Koncept story will offer its premises to guests - a fashion group dry milk of virgin mary. Their three-month POP-UP in the young showroom will culminate with a performance show, the atmosphere of which will be created by artist Ondřej Vicena. On Wednesday 23 March at 7 pm, Řezáčovo square will witness a symbiosis of fashion, music and art. "Milk tastes the best in a state of weightlessness. Take a look out of your window and you'll see the Milky Way from a slightly different point of view." Ondřej Vicena & Kateřina Hynková & Mia Jadrna & Eliška Knotková & Tereza Švolíková & Maria Nina Václavková present their shared ideas, which they interpret in their own unique ways, thus creating a varied yet harmonious whole.  

On Wednesday evening Public Interest will yet again host the (unofficial) after party of MBPFW F/W16. The bar located in Old Town, on "the street where tourists get lost". Here resides the genius loci of a seemingly cracked and darkened Prague – slightly tattered – like it has been there for years. The bar is just a stone throw away from Anežský klášter, and it puts togehter clearly incompatible – Prague, similar to a piece of London, New York's Bowery or Brooklyn.
