"Study of Wonders": Ocean-Inspired Elegance. 27/02/2024
Neomi Hodge, one of our talented graduates, presents her captivating Final Major Project titled "Study of Wonders."
Inspired by the enigmatic creatures that emerge under the moon's gentle glow, this project is a celebration of femininity and an invitation to embrace the upcoming summer season.
In a poetic twist, "Study of Wonders" encourages us to find solace in the darkest moments. Neomi shines a spotlight on the hidden marvels of nature that thrive in the deep abyss—the graceful jellyfish and resilient plankton. These creatures, like celestial lanterns, illuminate the black expanse of space.
Neomi's resort collection features exquisite prints and ocean-inspired jewels. With a nod to the roaring twenties, it reimagines vintage glamour for the modern woman.
Step into this enchanting world where darkness reveals its own kind of radiance.
Dive into wonder. Explore the depths. "Study of Wonders" awaits you.
Neomi, our talented fashion designer and Class of 2022 graduate, has set sail for the vibrant shores of Miami and has created her own brand—Maison Hodge.

Fashion Recreation, a project in collaboration with the Museo del Automóvil y la Moda de Málaga. 02/02/2024
Thanks to this project, our 2024 Fashion Design intake had the pleasure of visiting the museum in the past weeks and personally selecting the displayed garment they wanted to study and reproduce.
The project required the students to create a garment using alternative techniques and materials, without using traditional fabrics. They also had to tailor the garment without sewing it.
On Tuesday, they proudly presented their own versions of these garments alongside the originals at the museum.
Our students chose and recreated outfits from renowned designers such as Paco Rabanne, Frida Giannini, Jean Paul Gaultier, Pierre Balmain, Louis Scherrer, and Valentino.
Great job on their first assignments. Congratulations to our first-year Fashion students!
We would like to express our gratitude to the Museo Automovilistico y de la Moda de Málaga for opening their doors to our fashion department.
Their outstanding efforts in collecting and preserving such a historic fashion collection in impeccable condition are truly appreciated.

Statement Collection! 19/01/2024
At the end of last term, our first-year student Tosca presented us with her " Chaos " statement collection. Inspired by the style of Andy Warhol, she created an outfit that communicates the state of chaos that some people may feel when contemplating the daily news, in a maximalist fashion style.
Curious about how Tosca came up with and created this outfit? Check out this one-minute video where she takes you through the entire process, from the original concept to the final creation of the outfit.
Introducing "NO LIMITS", Fall/Winter 2023 Collection, the latest and most innovative female ready-to-wear collection crafted by our talented Fashion Design graduate, Daniela Konte. 25/07/2023.
With her keen eye for minimalism, captivating shapes, and an enchanting play of details and asymmetry, Daniela has ingeniously woven magic into this collection.
Drawing inspiration from the alluring shades of "Cherry Red" and "Very Dark," Daniela has skillfully harnessed the potential of Faux Leather fabric, resulting in a striking and unique lineup of six outfits that embodies strength and confidence for the modern woman.
This collection truly expresses the essence of a powerful and self-assured woman, making it a must-have for those seeking to make a bold statement with their fashion choices.
Well done Daniela!

"Wabi - Sabi" is one of our latest final collections presented by our now graduate student, Sofia Vesterinen from Finland. 29/01/2022
"With this collection, I wanted to take a stand against the pursuit of unrealistic perfection that is often causing us to have insecurities or negative thoughts. By taking those thoughts and turning them into something positive by showcasing little flaws as an important part of the whole, it creates another way to think and to perceive yourself.
Wabi-sabi means finding beauty in imperfections, which reflects the meaning and message behind the collection perfectly."
Sofia chose to film her collection video by some of the Malaga signature monuments in its historic center, creating a unique atmosphere for her presentation.
