The DEFILE HEAD, the Fashion Show of Geneva University of Art and Design, will take place on Friday November 4, in the space called Le Cube in the heart of the Campus. Presenting the 2022 BA’s and MA’s graduation collections, the fashion event will welcome 1,700 people to a sold-out crowd. The scenography was imagined by the students of the Interior Architecture Department under the direction of Bertrand Van Dorp. The show will be streamed live at 9pm on the school's website and will be rebroadcast in November on Léman Bleu TV. 

20 Bachelor's and 12 Master's collections offering fashion, jewelry and accessories will be shown during this fabulous show, which will be repeated twice in the evening and at the end of which four prizes will be awarded by an independent international jury.

The Prix Master Firmenich, endowed with CHF 10,000, will reward the most remarkable Master collection and will allow the winner to create a perfume that will bring a new dimension to their collection. The Prix Bachelor Bongénie, endowed with CHF 5,000, will reward the best Bachelor collection. The Prix La Redoute x HEAD will give the opportunity to create a capsule collection that will be marketed on the La Redoute platform.  The Prix HEAD x Eyes on Talents will reward the collection that has addressed sustainability issues with relevance and talent.
