XC | 90: A FRONT ROW OF CREATORS, EDITORS AND CULTURAL VOICES

Istituto Marangoni’s XC | 90 fashion show, staged to mark its 90th anniversary, drew a front row that reflected the breadth of today’s creative industries. From established editors to digital voices and emerging cultural figures, the guest list reinforced the event’s position at the intersection of fashion, art, and communication.

Among the evening’s most notable presences was Pietro Terzini, the artist behind the new institutional claim Creative State of Mind. His work has become synonymous with Marangoni’s vision of creativity as both a discipline and a lifestyle, making his attendance particularly symbolic.

The growing influence of digital culture was represented by several prominent content creators. Aya Mohamed (@milanpyramid), recently recognized with the Leader of Change: Community award at the Black Carpet Awards 2025, brought her voice of inclusivity and representation.

The editorial world was also well represented.

Their perspectives linked the student collections with broader narratives of fashion’s future.

Together, these figures mirrored the dual spirit of XC | 90: a look back at ninety years of heritage and a projection forward into the creative futures the School continues to shape. The combination of student-led design and a diverse, high-profile audience confirmed the anniversary not only as a milestone for Istituto Marangoni, but as a platform for the voices and communities driving the industry today.
