In-person event

Come and meet us in Tbilisi — a moment to connect, ask questions, and hear a story that might just sound like yours.

Hear from someone who's been there 

At the heart of the day is Diana Kvariani — IED Fashion Design alumna, founder of her own fashion label, and IED Ambassador. Diana will share her personal journey: from Georgia to Milan, from student to creative entrepreneur. What it really feels like to study design in Italy, the challenges, the discoveries, and what she would tell her younger self.  

What else to expect 

You'll also get a full overview of IED's academic offer — Undergraduate, Master, and Foundation programmes across Italy and Spain — along with everything you need to know about the application process and portfolio requirements. 

The IED team will be there to answer your questions, one on one. 

The meeting will be held in Georgian and English.  

Participation is free but spots are limited; registration is mandatory.
