  • Future Starts Slow 

IED talents will present their graduate fashion show “Future starts slow” at Pátio di Galé on March 9th at 4 pm.  

Six visions from IED Italia’s schools exploring what fragility means, the fear of transformation, the importance of self-knowledge, the respect towards our natural environment, the value of feeling or the memories of our experiences to transform them into unique garments, made with dedication, craftmanship and passion.  

The designers are Angelica Siddi, Annarita Biava, Maria Chiara Sorbino, Matteo Rosellini, Cristian Bogliano and Alessio Dolfi and Carlotta Mora

The runway will be enriched by a selection of fashion films by IED Spain schools.

“Future Starts Slow” reflects the voice of generation that understands the importance of listening to your inner itself, caring and channelling a slow future through fashion, but aware that a better future is yet to come.
