Thirty-three collections unfolded in a Cube transformed into a luminous, vibrant organ.

On Friday, November 6, 2026, graduates of the Fashion, Jewelry and Accessory Design Department presented their collections in Le Cube at HEAD – Genève during two successive shows. Nearly 2,500 spectators attended the 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. shows, alongside many leading figures from fashion and luxury, art and design.

Thirty-three collections

Twenty collections from the Bachelor in Fashion Design and thirteen from the Master in Fashion and Accessory Design were presented across the two shows. Through clothing, accessories, materials and volumes, the graduates explore personal worlds and offer different ways of approaching contemporary fashion and inhabiting the world.

The HEAD Fashion Show gives them the opportunity to present their collections to the public and to industry professionals at the end of their studies.

Congratulations to all the graduates on the rigor of their work, shaped by precise craftsmanship, sensitivity and creative freedom. They gave us a magical evening, brimming with forms and materials, dreams and depth.

The collections were presented at the heart of ORGAN:E, the installation designed by four students from the HEAD Master in Design Installation – Théo Chalendar, Rumet Contay, Mailys Lochowicz and Lucie Terranova – under the direction of matali crasset. Extending Le Cube’s ventilation ducts into an outsized organ, the installation became one with the building and the show, bringing together architecture, light and sound.

The original score by Romano Bianchi x Village Pipo, performed with the Geneva Chamber Orchestra (OCG), accompanied the entire evening with a frenetic, mesmerizing rhythm.
