Graduate Show 2026

In the school’s 40th year, under the mentorship by pioneering creative directors and alumni Luke and Lucie Meier, as well as educational support from the school’s director Massimiliano Giornetti, An Vandevorst, advisor to the Design Department, and the faculty, this graduating class present their final collections in a defining annual moment for the school.

This year’s designers emerge from a generation shaped by instability and rapid change, and their work reflects this: fearless, intimate, and urgently human. They demonstrate a deeply personal and socially engaged approach to fashion, with students drawing extensively from memory, cultural heritage, and lived experience to inform their collections. 

Across the board, garments function not merely as clothing but as emotional and conceptual statements, evidence of a generation using fashion to process, resist, and make sense of the world they have inherited.
