All eyes on the Palais de Tokyo this July 3 at 6:30 PM, as Synergetic takes center stage—a high-octane, cross-campus fashion show set to shake up Paris Fashion Week. Twenty rising designers—ten from Istituto Marangoni Paris and ten from the Istituto Maragoni London — will share one bold, energetic runway in a show that’s anything but conventional.

The name Synergetic, drawn from the Greek synergetikos—“working together”—perfectly captures the show’s ethos: collaborative, multicultural, and future-focused. This unprecedented joint showcase celebrates the long-standing creative bond between two of Europe’s most vibrant fashion capitals.

Marking its 90th anniversary this year, Istituto Marangoni remains the only fashion school in the world offering a truly multicampus education—an innovative approach that empowers students to broaden their vision across borders.

The runway will unfold within an evolving scenography: large white sails stirred by the wind, serving as projection surfaces for the designs in motion—creating a visual metaphor for transformation and constant change. A poetic yet powerful backdrop that amplifies the creative message of the 20 designers selected to take part. For sure, the future of fashion is shaped with Istituto Marangoni on the catwalk of the Palais de Tokyo.

ISTITUTO MARANGONI LONDON'S DESIGNERS

Gaye Sahutogullari · Identity

Identity draws inspiration from the concept of memento mori, depicting the body's degradation as a vessel of memory and a moment of transformation. Each silhouette is crafted from hand-molded latex, creating a semi-transparent second skin that follows the body's natural forms

Sofiia Kovalska · Mavka and Molfar

This collection is inspired by Ukrainian mythological creatures, symbols of the mortal and spiritual worlds. The narrative revolves around the dualism of these mythical beings: the forest spirit, a young woman named Mavka, and the wise shaman Molfar. Ukrainian folklore is reinterpreted in a modern style while preserving traditional techniques.

Anna Sheremetyeva · Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is dedicated to a personal journey of transformation and sublimation, overcoming turmoil and addiction. The silhouettes and fabrics are inspired by images of a cocoon and a caterpillar, the initial stages of a butterfly's metamorphosis. Over 60% of the collection is made from recycled fabrics.

Micaela Ismodes Sole · Redrum

This collection is inspired by horror films and the way beauty can be unsettling. It is a tribute to a femininity that is both strange and mysterious, where soft and romantic forms meet darker elements. Each piece creates a ghostly atmosphere through the combination of heavy textures and light, transparent, and flowing fabrics, offering a unique sensation.

Henry Archibald Crawford · A Third Traveler

This collection is inspired by the "Fermi paradox," the idea that despite the vast possibilities of life in the universe, we are alone. The garments recall the heavy mass of planets and are made with thick materials like upholstery suede, combed wool, and thick neoprene.

Thierry Nicolas Rüetschi · New Renaissance

New Renaissance boldly explores strength, protection, and rebirth, blending Roman heritage, Renaissance elegance, and a futuristic vision. The architectural silhouettes are constructed from wide interwoven bands forming sculptural volumes or mimic human musculature.

Charlene Osmond · Defining Seduction

This collection gathers various inspirations, offering a journey around seduction through films, fashion icons, photographs, and frozen moments. The design explores Western representations of femininity and deception from the 1950s to the 1970s, reinterpreted with modern glamour.

Sofia Rukina · Bandit 90’s

Bandit 90’s is a luxury men's streetwear collection inspired by the criminal subcultures of post-Soviet Russia, where power, rebellion, and chaos defined an era. The narrative draws on historical references, police archives, slang, and clothing codes, revisited in a contemporary and luxurious way.

Jinxuan Mao · Echoes of Innocence

This collection is inspired by childlike behaviors to which adults unconsciously revert under extreme stress. The silhouettes oscillate between playful volumes and distorted cuts, reflecting the tension between innocence and responsibility. Gradient prints in vivid primary colors intertwine, evoking the palette of Edvard Munch's The Scream.

Aniket Chandela · Vishnu ki Virasat

This collection blends traditional mythology with contemporary fashion, inspired by the ten avatars of Vishnu. Each piece represents an avatar, capturing its essence through intricate designs and luxurious fabrics, both timeless and modern. These creations pay homage to Indian cultural heritage with bold and modern elegance.

ISTITUTO MARANGONI PARIS' DESIGNERS

Hwanseok Cho · A Rebelling Man in the Cosmos

The collection explores the tension between human defiance and the vast universe, inspired by Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. To express ideas of space-time and gravity, every fabric in the collection incorporates checks or stripes, visually representing distortion and movement.

Hana El-Sharabasy · Where Skin Ends

An exploration of the body, identity, and the space between intimacy and discomfort. Through grotesque textile manipulation, using human hair, sticky coatings, and scar-like surfaces, the collection questions the limits of beauty in fashion.

Alexia Cofino · Scars of Somatization

We somatize emotions, fear, shame, and pressure when we can’t let them out. This collection explores how the silent body still screams through tension, rigidity, or bursts of energy. Each garment becomes a body: a vessel for the weight of the unspoken.

Valeria Rais · ARRK

ARRK is born from the silence of the desert, a place where wind shapes the land like memory shapes the body. Inspired by dunes, bones, and forgotten ruins. In its sculptural forms and textured layers, ARRK explores survival, sensuality, and the beauty that remains when everything else fades.

Lorena Casas · Shadow Grace

This collection explores the concept of self and emotional evolution. It reflects how difficult emotions transform over time and through experience. Each piece represents a stage of the inner journey—where beauty, pain, strength, and vulnerability coexist.

Monique Mou · Forgotten Beaut

Forgotten Beauty revolves around the tension of innocence and the rebellion we’re desperate to embrace. This collection is an emotional outcry tinted by the designer’s childhood, a rebellion not just against tradition, but against the vulnerability of showing who we really are.

Maria Vittoria Foradori · Shifting Emotions

Shifting Emotions is a collection that captures the intangible movement between emotional states. Inspired by the fragmented motion studies of Étienne-Jules Marey, the garments mirror the visual rhythm of emotion as it enters and moves through the body.

Gaurvi Monga · JAANG

Through the observaion of a society where the marginalized are expected to endure suffering for the benefit of others, the collection calls for collective introspection, urging viewers to confront the often-unseen injustices and to recognize the resilience and humanity of those who are routinely silenced.

Maris Thompson · FOSSE FOLIES

The foundation of the collection is rooted in the visionary work of the legendary choreographer Bob Fosse. Drawing from his distinctive aesthetic, the collection reinterprets cabaret-inspired elements through a modern lens, merging theatricality with sharp, contemporary design.

Alex Puigdollers Martin · Structure & Absence

Structure & Absence is a conceptual exploration of « fake simplicity ».  The collection pays tribute to human vulnerability—honoring both visible and invisible injuries through anatomical references like muscle structure and scar-like fabric folds. The use of ceramics underscores the value of craftsmanship and the body’s intricate architecture.
