Another runway show was presented by the winner of Salon Team, Van Michael Salon. They got inspiration from Japanese anime and the film Lolita, created a collection titled "Gothloli". Nine models wearing skirts or dress with lace border, walking on the runway with the screen playing a specially created anime cartoon of all the models.
