The Centre for Higher Education in Fashion Design at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (CSDMM) presented the final projects of its fourth-year students in a graduate fashion show which took place on June 23. In addition, the first-, second and third year fashion students were able to present their work in an exhibition.
The CSDMM graduating class presented more than 150 looks. The theme of fashion show ‘Opening Night 2023, The Future of Fashion is Coming’, was “Somos agua”, which translates to ‘we are water’. The show was designed by the architects Manuel Blanco and Héctor Navarro, and allowed the combination of the student designs to flow through an immersive atmosphere, which represented virtual oceans in constant movement, combined with the shadows and silhouettes of an infinite number of marine animals.
