I’M Talent Showroom: The Future of Emerging Fashion Designers Goes Digital

In February 2025, Istituto Marangoni has unveiled an all-new, fully digital edition of the I’M Talent Showroom—an innovative platform designed to elevate the visibility of emerging fashion designers while redefining how collections can be displayed also digitally, in a global and interconnected world.

This immersive virtual showroom goes beyond a simple online display: it offers a tailored space for companies to present their collections remotely and interact with buyers through an engaging, customizable format. It also reflects the ability of our students and alumni to create their collections even digitally, becoming the tool that combines their physical and virtual approach.

Looking ahead, during the September 2025 edition of WHITE trade show, Istituto Maranogni will present a new phygital version of I’M Talent Showroom —blending physical presence with virtual experience. This hybrid approach strengthens Istituto Marangoni’s mission to support next-gen creatives from the I’M Alumni Community, while offering WHITE’s extended network of companies a future-proof service as a complementary tool to present their collections.

With this new project, Istituto Marangoni reinforces its role as innovator and pioneer in shaping the future of emerging fashion designers.
