The third festival for fashion & photography, initiated and organized by Unit F büro für mode, will take place from 28 May to 6 June 2008. For the past eight years, Unit F has been accompanying Austrian fashion designers on their way toward greater professionalism and internationalization. What started out as a small ceremony for presenting the Austrian Fashion Awards has with time evolved into a self-confident celebration of the Austrian fashion scene. Responsible for driving this development while providing continuous support for the domestic fashion scene are the two heads of Unit F, Ulrike Tschabitzer-Handler and Andreas Oberkanins. Thanks to their concentrated efforts Unit F has developed over the course of the past eight years into an internationally networked promotion and presentation platform. Public and private-sector enterprises interested in investing in the development of Austrian fashion have supported this network by for example sponsoring awards for Austrian fashion designers and funding their international marketing efforts. For ten days Vienna will once again become a fashion hub where the Austrian and international fashion scene will display its stunning contemporary diversity. In various venues throughout the city, fashion shows and current collections will be presented, and exhibitions and lectures will be held on the topics of fashion photography and magazine culture, along with the traditional presentation ceremonies for the AFA – Austria Fashion Awards. In addition to the program that Unit F büro für mode has conceived and organized especially for the 8 festival for fashion & photography, Unit F's stepped-up cooperation with various fashion and art institutions as well as Vienna's fashion design stores, galleries and party planners will ensure that this year's festival offers even more variety.
