On 3 April, ESAD's Fashion Design degree course hosted a panel of industry experts as part of the Project III — Fashion course, led by Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida.

The session was attended by the creative duo of the Ernest W. Baker brand, Inês Amorim and Reid Baker, and the designer of Salsa Jeans, Filipa Melo. The final-year students presented the development of their collections and received valuable input from the guests, in a moment of sharing and reflection that was essential for consolidating their projects.

This direct contact with professionals was an opportunity to test ideas, discuss approaches and reflect on the relevance of the proposals in the current fashion context.

The final presentation of the collections is scheduled for July, at a public event organised by the Marques'Almeida, which will bring together the academic community, family members and industry representatives.
