Metropoli - IED Roma Fashion Show 2026

A city that connects and isolates. Fashion as a form of expression, identity and resistance. METROPOLI, the IED Roma Fashion Show 2026, brought to the runway 18 collections created by recent graduates in Fashion Design and Jewelry Design. Inspired by the contradictions of contemporary urban life, the collections explored the tension between individuality and belonging, protection and exposure, using fashion and jewelry to express the emotional landscapes of a hyperconnected society. Through experimental silhouettes, materials and textures, the young designers transformed personal visions into powerful statements, turning fashion into a language of identity and self-expression. The show took place on September 16, 2026, at The Social Hub Rome, in collaboration with Brancaccio Danza and Lost Boys, who curated the music selection. METROPOLI was part of IED's 60th Anniversary Public Program, dedicated to the theme of Plural Intelligence.
