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.
An Event Produced to Fashion Week Standards
The show welcomed more than 350 guests, including leading figures from the fashion industry and media such as VOGUE, ELLE, VEJA, Galeries Lafayette, Printemps, the Fédération de la Couture and the Federation of Circular Fashion, alongside professionals, partners and students’ families.
Designed as a fully professional production, the event brought together:
70 fashion design students
40 models
15 industry professionals
A dedicated production, communication and artistic direction team
From scenography and casting to fittings, backstage coordination, lighting, imagery and communication, every stage was carried out under real industry conditions, offering students a total immersion into the standards and expectations of the international fashion industry.
This award highlights IFA Paris’ ability to bridge education, creation, event production and communication, while addressing today’s key challenges of sustainability and innovation.
A Collective Achievement
This Gold Prize is above all a collective success, celebrating the commitment and talent of IFA Paris students, faculty members and industry contributors.
With “Rebooting the Archives”, IFA Paris reaffirms its positioning as an international, visionary and engaged fashion school, dedicated to training the designers of tomorrow while producing events with strong professional and media impact.
