n the magnificent Galeriegebäude Herrenhausen in Hanover, the HANNOVER FASHION SHOW 2025 became a stage for vision, conviction, and craftsmanship.

Under the theme "VOGUE VOTES" FAHMODA graduates presented their final collections that reflected bold ideas on aesthetics, identity, and the fashion of tomorrow.

The interim collections by 3rd- and 5th-semester students impressed with themes such as Art & Fashion, Fetish, and Uniform. Balancing wearable design with cultural commentary, the young designers demonstrated how fashion reflects and challenges society.Students were also responsible for the choreography, lighting, music, and staging creating a cohesive artistic experience. Supported entirely by local sponsors, the show proved the power and relevance of creative education today.Especially striking was the emotional and cultural richness expressed through each collection. Whether rebellious, nostalgic, or sensual every silhouette told a story, revealing fashion as a language of personality, heritage, and purpose.                  

The HANNOVER FASHION SHOW 2025 was more than a graduation showcase it was a commitment to the future of fashion. Clear, courageous, and deeply relevant.

Alexandra Bobrowski's collection "Rodina Remains" draws inspiration from Slavic and Russian folkloric dress, reimagining cultural heritage through a contemporary lens. Her designs explore themes of migration, memory, and belonging, merging traditional craftsmanship with refined modern silhouettes. With a deep sense of nostalgia, each piece honors the emotional weight of identity shaped by movement, loss, and home.Her pieces combined nostalgic detail with modern luxury honoring the emotional depth of cultural identity in transition. Each garment evoked a quiet strength, paying homage to generations of women whose stories are woven into every seam.Rich textures and earthy tones reflected the duality of loss and pride, of holding on while moving forward. Bobrowski's collection stood as a poetic tribute to roots that endure even when the soil beneath them shifts.

Leonard Giese presents a powerful narrative through his collection, addressing themes of exclusion and social stigma. His designs reflect the experiences of individuals who face discrimination and oppression due to their appearance, beliefs, or behavior. Whether at the hands of institutions, authorities, or society itself.The collection gives voice to those often labeled as „the ones your mother warned you about," boldly challenging entrenched stereotypes and prejudice.

Mathilda Friedrichs transported the audience with her collection "Cielo rojo" into the passionate world of Spanish flamenco. Inspired by the opera "Carmen," her prêt-à-couture Spring/Summer 2025 line fused sensuality, drama, and fierce femininity. Color and form told stories of freedom, desire, and self-determination.
