FADTalents at Vogue Forces of Fashion 2025

An immersive visit that connected students with Rabanne’s archival couture, India’s leading designers and the future of luxury storytelling.

Hosted at Nilaya Anthology, Mumbai, FADTalents attended Vogue Forces of Fashion 2025, presented in collaboration with Rabanne. The exhibition brought together India’s 40 leading designers and emerging talent, offering students a rare look at how contemporary design conversations are unfolding in the region.

A defining highlight was Rabanne’s archival haute couture pieces showcased in Asia for the first time. Students encountered silhouettes that moved beyond traditional garments into sculptural forms—architectural, experimental and steeped in craftsmanship.

The exhibition featured a dynamic mix of expressions: floral explosions, earth-formed textures, organic volumes, metallic structures evoking wings, and chainmail techniques echoing Rabanne’s iconic codes. Each piece presented a distinct narrative, revealing how heritage and innovation can coexist within modern couture.

Students also observed how designers integrate sustainability, material experimentation and spatial storytelling to shape new couture directions.
