A fashion show exploring the ever-changing architectures of the body. Eight projects by eight students from the IED Group’s Italian campuses come together to form a single architecture in the fashion show on 28 October.

As IED celebrates its 60th anniversary, eight students present their collections in a collective runway show exploring Plural Intelligences, the theme that has guided the Institute’s reflections and research throughout the year. The show takes place on 28 October at 2 pm at BASE Milano.

Plural Intelligences explores the idea that intelligence does not reside solely within an individual or a system, but emerges through relationships and is transformed by them. This inquiry understands intelligence as a constellation of abilities, sensibilities and ways of relating to the world, rather than a single, measurable faculty.

Fashion becomes a compelling space in which to explore this plurality through the body: an ever-changing architecture, a physical and mental space where memory, identity, desire, vulnerability and transformation coexist. Together, the eight projects form a single architecture: a collective body of diverse experiences, in which memory, imagination, emotion, perception and matter become forms of intelligence. Through its show at Fashion Graduate Italia 2026, IED presents a vision of education as a space for plurality, dialogue and continuous transformation.
