The IAAD showcase at Fashion Graduate Italia 2025 transformed the runway into a high-stakes laboratory, where the "Reverse Change" theme was brought to life through the structural intelligence of Beatrice Netti and Alice Zucchini. Netti’s work commanded attention with its radical modularity, presenting garments that functioned as responsive habitats, shifting and breathing with the wearer to meet the demands of a volatile environment. Alice Zucchini complemented this with a masterclass in "beautiful utility," seamlessly merging high-performance technical specs with a polished, contemporary Italian aesthetic. Her contribution proved that climate-ready attire could be both a functional necessity and a sophisticated fashion statement, stripping away the superfluous to reveal the power of purposeful design.

The narrative arc of the show reached its peak through the experimental grit of Edoardo Barberis and the organic textures of Rebecca Aguzzoli. Barberis showcased a breathtaking mastery of deconstruction, utilizing repurposed paragliding cords and technical silks to craft silhouettes that felt like a hybrid of nomadic survivalism and futuristic urbanity. This raw, tectonic energy was balanced by Aguzzoli, whose work provided the collection's emotional and tactile anchor; she manipulated "end-of-life" textiles into intricate, earth-bound forms that highlighted the poetic potential of circularity. Together, these four designers moved the conversation beyond mere sustainability, positioning the IAAD graduate as a specialized architect of a more resilient, imaginative future.
