How did “Future Starts Slow” fashion show by IED go? Eight designers to tell heritage and diversity in fashion post-Covid

Yesterday afternoon, as part of the programming of Fashion Graduate Italia, Milan fashion show Future Starts Slow, the IED fashion show that featured eight young designers graduated from the European Institute of Design. Chiara Autiero, Paolo Belleri, Dara Silva Bulleri, Andrea De Simone, Yoana Dimitrova, Alessia Giacchetta, Valeria Nicoletti and Gaia Romoli are the names of the eight graduates to present menswear capsules, womanswear and genderless with a particular focus on the expression of their heritage and a highlight on the value of diversity. An extremely vital show, rich in originality but which above all witnessed the recovery of an academic sector that, after the lockdown, came back with greater force than before. Emanuele Soldini, Director of IED Italia, said:

«The enthusiasm of IED and our graduates is great [...]. If we look at the new academic year, [...] the IED Group is close to the threshold of 3,000 students enrolled in courses in the area If we consider the national context, on which we are confronted with schools of Platform Education System Fashion, we can say that the academic year 2021/22 of the Fashion area IED Italy records a positive trend with a growth of +18% compared to last year».

The neo-designers form a particularly heterogeneous group, where inspiration and diversity also emerges belonging to a historical period in which it was particularly difficult to be young in training. From their faces during the final exit emerges a joy, typical of whom has a lot to say, but for the moment has only started to warm up the engines.
