On the 18th of July Feeric Fashion Week moved back to Sibiu to make way for the creations of the students from UAD Cluj-Napoca (University of Arts and Design from
Cluj-Napoca). On the same day at NousMode designers, Mariana Morar & Paul Micsa showcased their latest collection on the lake of Sibiu Zoo.
