ESAD is taking part, for the first time, in CLO EUROPE Rising Talent 2026, an international competition organised by CLO Virtual Fashion that brings together leading European schools in the field of digital fashion design. The institution is represented in the Conceptual Design category by students Renato Azevedo and Luís Araújo, from the Bachelor’s Degree in Design — Fashion, under the supervision of lecturer Daniela Nascimento.

This participation marks a new step in ESAD’s commitment to technological innovation applied to fashion education, placing the School alongside some of Europe’s leading institutions in the field of digital fashion.

Public voting runs until 21 June on the official CLO CONNECT platform. We invite the entire ESAD community to support the students, helping to showcase the talent nurtured at the School.
