The AMFI Fashion & Design graduation show 2026 brings together a new generation of designers. They use fashion as a means to express personal stories, social issues and cultural tensions. The collections continually highlight themes such as identity, heritage, femininity, mental health, queer expression, digitalization and the need for protection and connection. The graduates investigate how clothing is not only functional to wear, but also as a carrier of memories, emotions and protest.
With a strong focus on craftsmanship, material research and experimentation, the designers show how fashion moves between the physical and digital world. The collections balance between tradition and innovation, and between vulnerability and strength. From handicrafts and upcycling to innovative techniques and sculptural silhouettes; the show reflects a generation that critically observes the world. At the same time they create space for imagination, softness and personal autonomy. The result is a diverse presentation in which fashion is not only aesthetic, but also becomes a way to reveal new perspectives.
