The Espace Léo Ferré will take centre stage on Friday, April 25 at 18:00 for Glad You’re Awake, a boundary-pushing fashion show merging sartorial art and performance.
As part of Monte-Carlo Fashion Week, the show is the result of a creative partnership between Monaco’s École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques – Pavillon Bosio and Florence’s renowned Polimoda Fashion School.
Blending conceptual stage design with experimental fashion, the event brings together students from both institutions to create a dreamlike experience where fashion intersects with performance art. Collections from Polimoda’s fashion design students will take to the runway, while Pavillon Bosio’s scenography students have crafted an immersive visual world to accompany them — guided by actor and playwright Benoît Résillot.
The result promises to blur the lines between the concrete and the surreal, using clothing as a canvas for emotional exploration. According to organisers, the show will invite audiences into a space “somewhere between reality and abstraction,” offering a fresh take on what a fashion show can be.
Glad You’re Awake also serves as a public platform for emerging talent, showcasing the future faces of European fashion and design. The show is held in partnership with Polimoda, Monte-Carlo Fashion Week, and the Chambre Monégasque de la Mode, with support from Mathez MMCI Art Logistics and participation from the EIDM Nice School.
Entry is free, but advance registration is required by Thursday, April 24 via rsvp@pavillonbosio.com. Doors open at 17:30, subject to availability.
