It does not happen that often that a young designer who has recently completed his studies, manages to see his work projected in reality in record time. Less than less to see it projected into the star system.

But it happened to Francesco Murano, graduated in July 2019 in Fashion Design at IED (European Institute or Design) Milan, Italy.

The 26th of January Beyoncé appeared at Roc Nation’s pre-Grammys brunch, the annual event that precedes the prestigious Grammy Award, wearing the Ossimoro Dress, which comes directly from Francesco’s graduating project’s collection entitled “Ossimoro Plastic”.

For the 23-year-old Francesco, alumnus of the European Institute of Design, and already winner of Milano Moda Graduate, this is not the first success: shoes from the same collection have been worn also by Beyoncé in the video clip of the song “Spirit“.

Thanks to the participation of the European Institute of Design to the event held by Camera della Moda Italiana last summer and dedicated to young talents, the creations of Francesco Murano have been noticed by the stylist of the pop star, Zerina Akers.

This is what good education is about: allowing the students not only to grow creatively, but granting the presence at important events, connecting education with work and opportunities, wisely choosing events whose goal is precisely to give voice to young talented designers.

The IED is famous for creating solid professionals. Once again their formative excellence delivers, and it allowed Francesco’s collection to reach the spotlight in record time.
