Miami may not be seen as an official fashion hub like New York or even Los Angeles, but colleges like Istituto Marangoni Miami (part of the Milan-based Istituto Marangoni network) are challenging that narrative, training the next generation of fashion talent who are just as forward-thinking and inspiring as any NYC-based design pupils.
This was clear at Istituto Marangoni Miami (IMM)’s 2025 student runway show, “Volare,” held May 16 at Palm Court in Miami’s Design District. Now in its second year, the annual event showcased the end-of-year collections of 18 fashion design students: Chenqi Jiang, Daniel Uribe, Emilia Mourier, Emilia Tobal, Ilayda Polat, Jancarlos Cruz, Juan Vargas, Juanita Gutierrez, Julietta Guerra, Mariana Jimenez, Nina Talpe, Paula Patino, Rotem Bensaadon, Sofia Lemann, Sophia Nasco, Valeria Amand, Valery Luna and Zoe Pereita. Honoring the theme of Volare, pieces explored concepts of flight and freedom.
“This show is not just about the designs our students create but also about celebrating the boundless creativity and ambition they bring to the industry,” Hakan Baykam, President of IMM, said in a statement. “Volare is a celebration of the future, where innovation, craftsmanship and inspiration all take flight on the runway, marking an unforgettable night in Miami’s fashion calendar.”
In addition to the runway, the college announced a new initiative in partnership with the Miami Design District, the IMM x MDD Scholarship Fund. The scholarship covers full tuition for a BFA in fashion design — $162,300 — and will be awarded to a committed graduate from Miami’s Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH). Applications are now open.
