Fashion designer Liběna Rochová took the top award in the annual Czech Grand Design competition on Saturday evening, for a fashion series inspired by artist Milan Grygar. She also clinched the top prize in the fashion category. The prize for best newcomer (or discovery of the year) went to design duo Markéta Držmíšková and Petr Hák, for work in porcelain and the Sequence storage system. Acclaimed architect and designer Bořek Šípek, who died last month, was honoured in memoriam and inducted into the hall of fame.
