Wella Fashion Week Zagreb

The Wella Fashion Week Zagreb is an international fashion week event that takes place in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Like every other fashion week, it hosts international and local designers showing their collections — in the record kept in the wider guide, its spring/summer collections are the noted presentation.

The event's own website, fashionweekzagreb.com, is linked from this page; the address did not answer when checked, but a connection failure is not proof that a site is gone, so the link is kept as part of the record. The page sits inside the Croatia fashion week guide, linked in the navigation above.

International and Local, One Runway

The mixed roster is the event's defining feature. International designers bring an outside audience and a standard to measure against; local designers bring the home industry the week exists to promote. Put on one runway in one week, each side lends the other its crowd — the international names draw the press, and the local names give the press something distinctly Croatian to write about.

The Wella name in the title marks the event's beauty-industry backing. Fashion weeks run on styling as much as on clothes — hair and make-up teams build the look of every collection — and a hair-care title sponsor in Zagreb follows the same pattern as beauty-backed fashion weeks around the world.
