Since its launch into the world of fashion and education, Istituto Marangoni London has helped to develop abilities, grow new talent, and offers the highest-quality of education throughout all nine of its campuses and beyond. Their first graduate show on Tuesday 20th September has showcased the craftsmanship and vision of their students on a global scale, and highlighted their support of the British fashion industry at large.
Istituto Marangoni London’s debut into Fashion Week took place at Victoria House in Bloomsbury Square. 10 of the best students selected by the school showcased six designs each under the theme “Sense Datum”, Latin for enriching and expanding the senses. Zahra Ahmed Husain, Ho Hong Chang, Noam Milly Anidjar Sussman, Shanie Bellanger, Fidan Akbarova, Arina Vartanova, Guia Dell’osso, Erin Kaya, Jessica Nozato and Hannah Trauger shared their dynamic designs at the inaugural show. With its growing international network in capitals of fashion and design, this milestone has allowed talented prospects to build fruitful connections within the industry.
The designers each created high fashion pieces perfect for a high fashion couture show whilst still making pieces you would want to wear. Each design showed a key eye for detail and expert craftsmanship.
Each designer had separate micro-themes within the main theme of ‘Sense Datum’. Arina Vartanova, the winner of the 2022 Best Designer award showcased her views and commentary on the current situation of Russia and Ukraine through the eyes of a Russian ex pat.
“We are excited and honoured to join the British Fashion Council to announce our patronage and first show at London Fashion Week. We champion creative excellence and radical creativity, so this partnership is paramount to our vision for success. We strive to prepare students for a future in global business and responsible innovation is at the heart of this.
