23-03-2026 Another edition of Kraków’s fashion festival – Cracow Fashion Week 2026 – is now behind us
Talented graduates and ambitious students
It was an exciting time for Strima. During this year’s CFW, we viewed as many as 62 collections by SAPU graduates and awarded our favourite. We cheered on the participants and awarded the best in the Polish Sewing Championships. We trained another group of teachers in the use of the Audaces tools.
Polish International Sewing Championships
Once again, we had the pleasure of being a strategic partner of the Sewing Championships – an event that has been a key highlight of the programme for years and attracts the industry’s attention. The competition entries were created on TEXI FORCE sewing machines using Texi sewing accessories. Our expert mechanic, Michał Urbaniak, ensured the contestants could work without disruption. After several hours of competition, the jury selected the best-sewn creations.
Results of the International Polish Sewing Championships:
- 1st place – Paulina Irauth, prize: TEXI ZORRO FREE cordless rotary cutter
- 2nd place – Iryna Chuiko, prize: TEXI FORCE sewing machine with AC Servo motor
- 3rd place – Natalia Bochnak, prize: TEXI DRESS FORM 36-42 dress form
SAPU Graduation Collection Show
During the Cracow Fashion Awards gala, we presented a special award – the Strima Grand Prix. This exceptional honour is bestowed upon a designer who, in addition to an innovative approach to fashion, also demonstrates exceptional tailoring skills. The winner of the Strima Grand Prix receives a voucher worth 5,000 PLN to be spent on Texi tailoring equipment. This year, the prize went to Martyna Kołodziejczyk, creator of the collection ‘The Third World of Women’ – a study of beauty as a tool of enslavement.
Audaces tools training
We are particularly proud that, once again during CFW, we were able to share our knowledge of modern design. Our CAD specialist trained another group of teachers in design using tools from the Audaces360 family.
Cracow Fashion Week 2026 showed that young Polish fashion is thriving and looking boldly to the future. We are delighted to have been part of this event – we can’t wait for the next edition.
