Guau has some news on the latest doings of students from Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design, Florence. Let's see what they are!
This past Sunday, the Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design and Marketing in Florence, Italy held a fashion show. The show included nineteen collections by both Polimoda students and international students from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
This past Sunday, the Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design and Marketing in Florence, Italy held a fashion show. The show included nineteen collections by both Polimoda students and international students from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
The creative, innovative, and well-crafted collections made for a captivating performance, but the show itself was quite original. Rather than being a typical “runway show” with a catwalk, each collection was shown at the same time.
Viewers were invited to walk through seven different rooms, in no particular order. In each room, a group of models would work together to pose and display a collection. Anywhere between one and five collections were shown in each room. Some of the collections had the models posed in a particular order, others had choreographed movement routines, and some collections had models interact with the viewers. The designers all stood nearby their works; some even chose to pose in photographs with their models.
At the end of the show, the viewers were asked to go leave the building and watch as the models for each collection went out onto the veranda and showed the clothing for about thirty seconds each. While each collection was unique, they were all outstanding and inspiring. Some works were quite playful. A menswear collection by Alice Etim featured a 1980s-esque motif of bright lines and patterns on layers of black. Models wore coats, jackets, vests, pants, and shorts. A collection by Andrea Velasco embodied a childlike enthusiasm with its bright colors and harsh pleats. At one point in the show, the models held hands and danced in a circle, as if they were playing a game.
Other collections were more severe. A womenswear collection by Chiara Colzi used a simple black, white and silver palette with sharp edges and straight lines. A collection by Elisa Macri was shown on models posed still as statues on a staircase with strong, solemn facial expressions. The collection was made up of a neutral palette, mostly grays and browns. Many pieces featured large collars and wide skirts. Most of the designers had sturdy sources of inspiration. Chiara Pozzi’s collection was shown in
an important order with the models set in a semi-circle in the back of a room. The first model wore all white. The second wore all white, but the shirt had black lines, as if it was a sheet of drawing paper. The third model’s outfit contained squares of different colors, and each model after had more and more color. Each of the colored pieces was made up of the same motif of colored squares. The squares appeared to be hand-colored as if done with a thin-tipped pen.
Chiara explained that she found inspiration for her collection, titled Color Implant, from her brother. She described her difficulties with coming to terms with her brother’s Downs Syndrome and how the progression of color in the collection mimics the progression of their relationship. The white in the beginning symbolizes the lack of a relationship and each piece with more and more color illustrates how she gained an understanding of her brother and learned how to love him. Chiara explained that the colored squares in her pieces are based off of how her brother draws.
The students of Polimoda and FIT showed a lot of talent and creativity in their collections. Hopefully they will continue to find success so their work can be seen again in the future.

At the next edition of Milano Moda Uomo (the menswear fashion shows that will take place from June 21 to 24 at Milan Fashion Week), Giorgio Armani will host in the spaces of the Armani/Teatro the runway show of Christian Pellizzari, Polimoda former student and finalist of Who is on Next? Uomo 2013.
“Offering a concrete opportunity for visibility to younger designers is an operation I am really passionate about. I like to discover individual visions and see again that energy which is the motivation for success. The designer I chose for this season is Christian Pellizzari, to whom I wish a brilliant future.” - G.A.
Born in Treviso, Pellizzari is an alumn of the Vionnet team and launched his eponymous menswear line in 2011, adding a women’s range for Spring ’14. He studied in Florence and Paris and mixes tailoring and sportswear, daywear and eveningwear, elegant and laid-back style proposing a formula based on cross-contamination.
As himself states: “I am proud and flattered for having been chosen by an undisputed icon of international fashion like Giorgio Armani. Throughout my career I have always been fascinated by his talent, by his consistency and timeless style. I hope I will be up to the task when I take on the runway at his iconic theater because it will be an important step in my creative and professional path”.
Big congrats to Christian: now his trademark will be added to the ranks of brand sponsored by Armani as part of a larger project that has actually seen on the catwalk like Andrea Pompilio, Stella Jean, Julian Zigerli and Au jour le jour.
