All contestants had a very original approach to the task. The icons they interpreted in an eccentric way, made viewers walk through different ages and their typical symbols and styles. The variety of themes, authentic model performance on the catwalk turned the show into an inspiring fashion experience. The fashion walk started from ancient times, through the age of Claud Mone and Pablo Picasso, the decorative harmony of Alfonse Muha, Hundertvasser's original style, cartoon character Betty Boop, and reached today's pop icon Amy Winehouse's style. Host of the show was the luminous Radost Draganova. Among the VIP guests were Darina Stoyanova - president of "Henkel-Bulgaria", NAA teachers - assoc.prof.
