This hands-on, interdisciplinary studio challenges students to reinvent the fashion show through collaborative exploration of fashion, space, and communication in a dynamic live experience that embraces circularity, innovation, and cultural transformation. Students from Fashion Design, Interior Design, Communication Design, and Fashion Marketing & Communication will work across disciplines, contributing to garments, spatial design, branding, and audience experience—ensuring all voices shape the final event. Fashion designers will push garments beyond the body, interior designers will transform how space shapes interaction, communication designers will craft immersive narratives that bridge physical and digital worlds, and fashion marketing & communication students will redefine audience engagement—each contributing across disciplines to a modular, circular, and future-forward fashion event. By investigating how fashion, interior, and visual design interact in a live environment, students will explore alternative influences from theater, performance, light, music, literature, and digital media. Through speculative research, material experimentation, and full-scale prototyping, students will build, test, and iterate together, culminating in an immersive experience that redefines how fashion is presented, experienced, and reimagined.
