The theme of the show was memory, and the five designers expressed their understanding on "contemporary memory of a female personality," "memory and its forms," "memory of craftsmanship and creativity," "memory of the future" and "personal memory."

Pavel Ivancic explored polar opposites in his designs -- the unknown and the apparent, the female and the male, the hard and the soft. His models express the memory of the body and the mind.
