Polimoda Graduate Show 2025, staged at Florence’s historic Stazione Leopolda to launch Pitti Uomo 108, showcased 20 visionary collections and over 100 runway looks from international emerging designers. Each collection functioned as a wearable narrative—rooted in personal memory, cultural identity, and material experimentation—moving beyond trends into emotional storytelling and bold materiality. Under creative direction by Massimiliano Giornetti (with mentorship from An Vandevorst and Tim Blanks), the show embraced unconstrained innovation: sculptural silhouettes, unexpected textiles, and global perspectives in fashion as pure creative expression.
