Looking Differently

On the night of September 2nd, Polimoda will open its lungarno gates to welcome guests into an enchanted Villa Favard for an installation of new perspectives and illuminated details curated by Linda Loppa and Massimiliano Giornetti.

(P)review - Looking Differently

To celebrate the prologues of style of our final-year Undergraduate in Fashion Design students, Polimoda will transform Villa Favard's captivating space into a magic lantern, inviting us to look at fashion from unconventional perspectives and new heights. As we long for empathy, we want to encourage students to (re)design the future of fashion with energy and renewed optimism. We're an observatory of contemporary society after all.
