IFA Paris Wins Gold at the 2025 INfluencia Schools Grand Prix

A Fashion Show That Has Become a Pedagogical Signature

Held every year, the IFA Paris Graduation Fashion Show is far more than an event: it represents a key academic and professional milestone for students in fashion design.

For the 2025 edition, centered around the theme “Rebooting the Archives”, 35 emerging designers presented 135 innovative and eco-conscious silhouettes, inspired by reinterpreted cultural and sartorial heritages. This ambitious project was developed over nearly a year, combining textile research, upcycling and technical experimentation.
