 Tailoring skill, experimentation on volumes and shapes, care for details: these are some of the main features of Polimoda young talents’ creations that hit the runway of Polimoda Fashion Show, the final show where 65 Fashion Design and Fashion Design Advanced Master graduates were involved. Interesting and innovative collections made of a continuous, metamorphic game of quotations, contaminations of genres, materials and very personal interpretations. 65 collections,  made of 8 outfits each, were judged by four different juries composed by fashion experts; they decided the most creative collection, the most commercial, the most mediatic and assigned the Caran D’Ache Award. An award for the Most Promising Collection decided by Dean Linda Loppa and the Audience Award were also assigned.
