In July, IED Graduation Days kick off across IED's Italian campuses, featuring exhibitions, installations, and public events that showcase projects developed by students in the fields of design, fashion, communication, and visual arts.

With the arrival of July, IED Graduation Days enter their busiest phase across IED’s Italian campuses, bringing with them a series of public events designed to showcase the ideas, projects and research developed by students. Through exhibitions, installations and special events, audiences are invited to explore contemporary challenges in design, fashion, communication and the visual arts.

A program of Degree Shows and Fashion Shows unfolding across different cities and disciplines highlights the diversity of approaches and perspectives that define the IED experience. This journey will continue throughout September with new events and opportunities for public engagement.

In July, the IED.60 Public Program is also enriched by a special event presented by IED Milano in the inspiring setting of Paris. Substructure – Inside the Creative Architecture of Fashion (17–19 July) is an exhibition-installation that offers a unique perspective on fashion by shifting the focus from the finished product to the creative process behind it. Sketches, research materials, images, prototypes and intuitions become the protagonists of a narrative that reveals the hidden architecture of a collection and highlights the cultural value of design as a creative practice.
