This episode of “Unpolished” will be about the way runway shows have always been connected to a theatrical performance.

Beginning with Poiret and Lucile in early 1900s, designers have always been linked to theatre and performance because it has been a way to express values and ideas, to also enrich the vision behind a garment.

I took 2025 London Fashion Week’s designers as an example to tell my point of view and thoughts on the way creatives like to present their creations nowadays, we’re witnessing a return to theatre and drama to convey creativity because the dress isn’t the protagonist today, it’s only the means humans use to speak about themselves and with technology, it became an extension of our body.
