ERKI Fashion Show
• It all started in 1982, when fashion students from the Art Academy of Estonia organized their own fashion show called "ERKI Moeshow".
• The idea of ERKI Moeshow has always been to allow young designers to live out their craziest and most extreme ideas, to present them on catwalk, to compare their creations with other talents and to see the reactions of the public.
• The show is organized by the team of Estonian Academy of Arts and carried out by professionals (stage directors, lighting, video and sound specialists, etc).
• This year the event took place in a big theater. 25 designers (or groups of them) participated and there were seats for 1 000 people.
