International Fashion Festival "Leopolis"
The project was launched in Lviv in 1997 and lasted until 2003. The festival featured a theatrical form of showing clothing collections.
In 1997, 16 collections (from Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Norway, and Ukraine) were presented in the Leopolis-Zepter competition format in the art-fashion and pret-a-porter categories. The final took place on 8-9 November at the Lviv Opera House.
The next gala show took place on 10 November 2001.
In the art-fashion category, 20 collections by designers from Poland, Moldova, Russia, and Ukraine were presented on the stage of the Lviv Opera.
That year, the organisers abandoned the competition format.
The designers' collections were staged and presented in the form of mini-performances, with a focus on the aesthetic value of the entire event.
In addition to Studio POE "ANIGRAPH", the project was organised by the NGO "Stars of Galicia", NGO "Leopolis Media Centre", and Teleboiman TV and Radio Company.
