À quoi s’attendre en 2026

Fashion Graduate Italia 2026 is the twelfth edition of the open fashion event promoted by Piattaforma Sistema Formativo Moda ETS. The event brings together students, emerging designers, Italian fashion schools, international educational institutions, fashion professionals and the wider public around the work of the next generation of fashion talent.

The 2026 edition is presented under the theme “Speak Up!”, focusing on fashion as a language for creative expression, cultural dialogue and awareness. The programme combines fashion shows, exhibitions, international showcases, workshops, portfolio activities, career guidance, talks and opportunities to discover emerging designers.

Rather than functioning as a conventional commercial fashion week, Fashion Graduate Italia focuses on fashion education and emerging creativity. Visitors can see student collections on the runway, examine projects in the exhibition space, meet participating schools and learn about potential educational and professional paths within the fashion industry.
