Polimoda students x No Nation Fashion, powered by IOM – UN Migration Agency, present a capsule celebrating cultural affiliations and inclusion in fashion.
Polimoda students have joined forces with No Nation Fashion (NNF), powered by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – UN Migration Agency. Together, they have curated a captivating capsule collection that celebrates cultural affiliations and embrace inclusivity within fashion.
Designed by the talented minds of the Undegraduate in Fashion Design students Irène Latoudis, Zixi Pan, Luca Polonio, and Xiaofan Tian, and produced in collaboration with migrants from temporary reception centers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this collection encapsulates the harmonious convergence of diverse cultural backgrounds.
A project that, through fashion, embodies the aspirations and dreams of those who have courageously embarked on a journey far from their homes in search of a new beginning.
Fashion can serve as a powerful medium for self-expression, allowing individuals to communicate their identities, aspirations and cultural affiliations.
Through this lens, No Nation Fashion (NNF) brand, powered by IOM, recognizes the transformative potential of fashion as a universal language of art and innovation. It envisions fashion as a bridge that transcends borders, connecting people from diverse backgrounds and experiences and creating opportunities for both migrants and host communities.
By harnessing the creative potential of fashion, NNF endeavors to construct more inclusive societies and celebrate diversity.
The capsule collection will be featured during the days of Pitti Uomo fair at the Sala delle Nazioni in Fortezza da Basso, Florence.
