Polimoda's project to re imagine the fashion system Fashion design students at the Florentine academy present their vision for the future

Florence has always been, together with Milan and Rome, one of the main capitals of Italian fashion. And this September, thanks to the return of Pitti Immagine and the great Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria show, the vitality of Florentine fashion has found new momentum. On this very occasion, the Polimoda in Florence presented on 2 September its new project, (P)REVIEW – Looking Differently, inside the nineteenth-century Villa Favard. 

Throughout the entire itinerary, visitors are invited to look at the garments worn by models and mannequins now up close, now from afar, correcting and updating their perception and perspective – thus awakening within themselves the emotional-aesthetic relationship that binds it to fashion as a creative expression. Here emerges the meaning of the Looking Differently of the name of the exhibition – observing reality in a different way and through the lens of a new generation of designers represented for the occasion by Thomas McGovern, Robert Fioschi, Serena Schettino, Francesca Zangrillo, Ilaria Bellomo, Polina Popova, Ji Zhi, Yi Ding, Alice Baggio, Gianluca Padula, Francesca Monaci, Emma Gini, Yixuan Zhang, Lucia Garofalo, Karel Mirella, Martinez Flor, Nicolas Bollinger, Diana Patricia Oscos Rueda, Zhanna Diakonenko, Giulia Riccoboni, Silvia Anderson, Lorenzo Moretti e Sanjana Pessina.
