FASHION & TALENTS - VII EDITION
17 September 2025, Rome

Piazza di Spagna welcomes the seventh edition of the Fashion & Talents fashion show organised by Accademia del Lusso and eCampus University. The event will take place on Wednesday 17 September 2025 at 7:30pm.

The event is sponsored by the Department of Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion of Roma Capitale. It will be hosted by Eleonora Daniele, television journalist and official presenter of the event.

Creatività

The seventh edition of Fashion & Talents celebrates Accademia del Lusso's Progetto Brand (Brand Project), an initiative that offered students the unique opportunity to explore and revisit the concept of Made in Italy in an educational programme of excellence, reinterpreting the heritage of three iconic Italian brands: Giuliano Fujiwara, No Limits and Romeo Gigli. Thanks to access to archive materials, students developed creative projects that blend past and present through an educational programme divided into concrete phases: from design and pattern making to branding analysis and the development of marketing and communication strategies, with a focus on sustainability.

A tribute to Giuliano Fujiwara's avant-garde style takes shape thanks to a research project carried out by the students, who, starting from original paper patterns, reinterpreted the brand's urban and sophisticated style, creating garments with innovative cuts and an almost architectural structure. A collection created using fine fabrics and maintaining a strong link with Italian sartorial tradition. The project is completed by a special monograph, the only one to date dedicated to the designer.

Thanks to their collaboration with No Limits, Accademia del Lusso students created a collection celebrating freedom and self-expression. The young designers and stylists reinterpreted the brand's DNA by combining the urban spirit of streetwear with the functionality of extreme sports. The resulting garments blend aesthetics and performance, featuring experimental volumes, technical details, and contrasting materials such as denim, nylon, and puffer padding. Characterised by 3D bubbles and sculpted points, the creations offer a dynamic and bold silhouette, designed for those who love to challenge their limits.

Drawing inspiration from the elegance of Romeo Gigli, the students of Accademia del Lusso Rome reinterpreted the designer's style to create the Maledicta – L'Angelo Caduto collection. Blending devotion and desire, the creations recall monastic silhouettes and draped volumes, creating an aesthetic charged with symbolism. Each garment is a narrative object, blending subversive elegance and contemporary mysticism in a way that is consistent with the poetic and cultured approach that made Romeo Gigli famous on the international scene.

The international institute selected for the seventh edition of Fashion & Talents from the global fashion and design education scene is Harper College (Illinois, USA), recognised for its practical and experimental approach to education.
