SAPU Graduation Show 2025
The SAPU Graduation Show kicked off the 16th edition of Cracow Fashion Week.
The event took place on March 23, 2025, at a new and unique location — the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków, which provided an inspiring stage for the presentation of young designers’ work.
The Collection of the Year award went to Anna Biel for her collection “The Process of Psychotherapy”, which was recognized by both the High Fashion Council and the Media Council. Anna’s designs symbolically express the emotions experienced by a person before and after psychotherapy. The designer used hand-crocheting techniques and fabric manipulation to illustrate delicate yet profound inner transformations. The collection was selected from 50 projects presented that day.
