Creativity
The eighth edition of Fashion & Talents will bring to the runway the Final Work projects created by Accademia del Lusso students from Rome and Milan: mini collections showcasing the creative and design journey developed throughout their studies, from initial research to the creation of the garments.
Among the featured projects, the SS27 collection dedicated to Giuliano Fujiwara stems from an exploration of the brand’s heritage and a contemporary reinterpretation of its distinctive codes. Archive research, experimentation and design come together in a collection that enhances the fashion house’s sophisticated identity through new volumes, proportions and visual languages.
Also taking to the runway will be CHRONOS CORPS, the brand founded by former students Matteo Cesarotti and Nicola Minotti: an example of how the journey at Accademia del Lusso can evolve into a professional project capable of reaching international showrooms and runways.

Once again, the eighth edition opens its runway to young international talents, welcoming designers from two Chinese universities: Guangzhou Xinhua University and Chengdu University.
Their collections will bring different perspectives and design languages to Fashion & Talents, creating an opportunity for cultures and approaches to fashion to meet while strengthening the dialogue between Accademia del Lusso and the international fashion education landscape.
Scholarships for future designers
Accademia del Lusso renews its commitment to supporting young talent by awarding full scholarships to deserving high school students from the local area. For the eighth edition, students from Istituto Paritario Aniene and Liceo Artistico Enzo Rossi will be involved.
