Curatorial context

The XII Edition of the Emerging Design Month is a collaborative initiative between the Museo del Traje (Museum of Costume) and prominent national fashion design institutions. Its core objective is to provide visibility to the talent of emerging designers, showcasing their most remarkable projects. Throughout the month, the museum serves as a platform for these future professionals to present their creative visions, concurrently highlighting the richness and diversity of educational offerings in the design sector. This edition features projects from six selected schools, each presenting works with free themes that reflect diverse perspectives and the concerns of young designers. The exhibition offers a pluralistic view of the contemporary emerging design landscape, encompassing aesthetic and technical experimentation, as well as the cultural, social, and personal issues that inspire this new generation of creators. Each participating school's section delves into specific themes, such as the hidden narrative of tailoring with 'INVISIBLE INSIDE' by UDIT, the concept of 'RADIX' exploring origin and displacement by the ESCUELA SUPERIOR DE DISEÑO DE MADRID, KROOMDOS' 'Anatomía de los sueños' inspired by sleep phases, UNIVERSDIDAD EUROPEA's 'Conscientia Sui Corporis' on body-perception-clothing interaction, ESDIR's 'Cuerpo: resto y recuerdo' focusing on biomaterials from organic waste, and ARTE DIEZ's 'Bosque Latente' reflecting on post-fire forest transformation.
