Fashion show combines creativity and technology at IADE

May 14 2026

With free admission and open to the community, PROTO 2026 takes place on June 3rd.

IADE and the University of Beira Interior (UBI) are teaming up to give life to ​PROTO 2026, an event dedicated to fashion, creativity and technology, which will take place at the Oriente Green Campus on June 3.

Inspired by the concept of "prototype", PROTO 2026 was born with the motto "​fashion seen through technology", proposing an innovative approach that goes far beyond a traditional fashion show.

More than just presenting student creations, the event aims to establish itself as a multidisciplinary platform for artistic and technological experimentation, while also recovering an important historical legacy of IADE in the area of fashion and creative shows.

With free admission and open to the community, PROTO 2026 will take place between 5pm and 7.30pm in the courtyard of the Oriente Green Campus, with a fashion show scheduled for 6.30pm, where around 40 pieces developed by the students will be presented.

At the same time, the event will feature an interdisciplinary exhibition involving different IADE courses and creative areas, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the initiative.
