At Polimoda, we believe the future of fashion lies at the intersection of creativity, technology, and education, where new ideas, tools, and cultures come together to shape what comes next. This event is designed for the next generation of fashion leaders to navigate — and redefine — the global fashion ecosystem.
What you’ll explore:
•How creativity, interaction, and emotional connection are becoming the foundation of future fashion systems
•The role of technology — from digital platforms and data to emerging tools — in enhancing design, production, and audience engagement
•New business models that balance desirability, cultural relevance, and economic sustainability
•How education acts as a catalyst, connecting creative practice, technological fluency, and cultural insight
The event will also feature a dedicated alumni talk, where Polimoda graduates will share their personal journeys — from studying in Florence to building their professional paths in the fashion industry.
Through real experiences and honest insights, alumni will offer a concrete perspective on how education translates into careers, creativity, and opportunity.
Language of the event: English
Fee: free of charge
Building a New Fashion Ecosystem:
Creativity, Technology, and Education
"Ever since I was young, I was obsessed with the idea of being a Renaissance man, a jack of all trades or a cultivator of crafts. The mere thought of having to sacrifice many facets of culture that I loved so I could settle on one was not only something shocking to me, but it was a construct I actively fought against. When I first arrived in Florence, I felt an almost cathartic breath of reassurance — an inexplicable wholeness of what seemed like destiny or homecoming."
