We were backstage at the eighth edition of Fashion Graduate Italia, the free fashion week open to the city of Milan, which has been committed to celebrating talent since 2015. The event was organized by Piattaforma Sistema Formativo Moda Ente del Terzo Settore (Ets), a hub that brings together some of the best Italian postgraduate training institutions and academies in the fashion industry. The creative talents of the best graduating and undergraduate students from Italian fashion academies, institutes, and schools were the protagonists from November 3 to 5 of appointments dedicated to fashion shows, talks, masterclasses, workshops, and job placement. A program of appointments united by a single mission: to help connect the educational system to the fashion industry. Starting from this edition, Fashion Graduate Italia has also dedicated special attention to international talents through the introduction of a new project dedicated to them: Talent to Talent. A format aimed at the best international universities and academies to create a global training channel to foster continuous dialogue between talents from every region of the world. Hosts of the project were the cities of Daegu and Osaka, which, thanks to the collaboration with the City of Milan, will bring to the event the creations of students from their most prestigious fashion and design universities.
