This new edition promises to be a highlight of young design, revealing the richness and uniqueness of the approaches taken at HEAD. The designers will present unique worlds, with each collection asserting its own identity, shaped by the precision of the gesture, the sensitivity, and the creative freedom that characterize the school.
Nearly 3,000 spectators are expected to discover 220 outfits designed by young designers from the Fashion and Accessories Design department.
In total, 32 collections, 24 Bachelor's and 8 Master's, will reveal worlds that are both personal and assertive, nourished by the mastery and sensitivity cultivated at HEAD.
Now a highlight of contemporary fashion, the HEAD Fashion Show has established itself as a platform for expression and visibility for young Swiss designers. More than just an event, it is a real springboard to professionalization, a meeting place for emerging talents, industry players, and the media, where creativity unfolds in all its diversity.

SET DESIGN AS A LANGUAGE OF LIGHT
This edition will feature a unique set design created by Alexis Lang, a Bachelor's student in Interior Architecture, as part of a workshop led by Philippe Rahm and Valentin Calame.
Inspired by the natural variations in light, its nuances, intensities, and changing colors from morning to evening, summer to winter, this spatial arrangement transforms the way we look at clothing and reveals the finesse of the designers' work.
At the crossroads of fashion and architecture, it embodies the interdisciplinary collaboration that is so dear to HEAD, where precision of execution dialogues with creative sensitivity.
