Video: Polimoda graduate show 2025 explored identity through fashion

The Polimoda Graduate Show 2025 will showcase the exceptional work of final-year Fashion Design students, revealing the visionary talents of tomorrow. This event marks the culmination of their intense developmental journey at Polimoda. The graduate collections this year are a testament to this generation's constant connection and symbiosis with their surrounding world. A central theme, or "fil rouge," across all collections is identity. These students, on the cusp of their professional careers, use their art to explore and realize a deeper sense of self. This exploration manifests in diverse ways, including: the spiritual connection between individuals and the unpredictable forces of nature, often experienced through extreme sports; the enduring influence of colonial history on contemporary African religion and identity; the interplay of control and freedom of the self, explored through 20th-century dystopian literature; studies of permanence and fragility in both artificial and natural forms, prompted by artificial intelligence; the evolving role of women in American society; and a celebration of Samba music and its profound cultural significance. The Graduate Show 2025 provides a unique chance to witness the global evolution of fashion through the fresh perspectives of these talents, whose journeys have converged at this pivotal moment. The Polimoda Graduate Show 2025 will present the final-year Fashion Design students' work, showcasing tomorrow's visionary talents. This event culminates their intense journey at Polimoda.
