The common thread which links IUAD students is certainly the vision of fashion as a free expression of one’s being and one’s vision of the world. Each collection is a manifesto of one’s own introspective journey and of professional and personal growth. Teachers play a fundamental role in this journey, from whom they learned not only the importance of research and of the detail but above all the ability to approach their projects in a critical way analyzing it from different points of view. Fashion therefore presents itself as a reflection of life and emotions but finds its concrete foundations in the knowledge and development of a technical know-how of which they seem to have a deep awareness.
