MSKPU Diploma Show 2026

# MSKPU Diploma Show 2026 – A Celebration of Talent, Friendship and Responsible Fashion

This year’s **MSKPU Diploma Show 2026** was a truly special celebration of our entire community: our outstanding students and graduates, lecturers, their families and friends, as well as our partners and distinguished guests.

For **23 years**, we have been building MSKPU into something more than a school. It is a community founded on values that are fundamental to us: **mutual respect, empathy, compassion, friendship and responsibility**. That is why, alongside design and technology, we also teach respect for the environment, people and animals, showing that fashion can be a force for positive change.

This year’s show was once again a perfect example of that.

#### **Our heartfelt thanks go to the large and distinguished jury who evaluated the young designers’ collections:**

The show was filled with excitement, touching moments and, above all, joy. As every year, dozens of MSKPU partners took part in the event and prepared awards for outstanding collections. For our graduates, these prizes mean much more than recognition: they often become a first important step into the professional world, the beginning of a collaboration with a brand, an opportunity to connect with industry professionals and a real springboard for further career development.

We are immensely grateful to all our partners who have supported our young designers and believed in their talent for years.

Another important moment was the world premiere of the English-language edition of “The Sustainable Textiles Handbook” by Ewa Polkowska, edited by Dr Magdalena Płonka. This was a particularly meaningful milestone for us: a book created to educate readers about sustainable textiles reached an international audience for the first time. The translation was prepared by Agnieszka Wąsowska-Telęga from Fashion Revolution Poland, with expert feedback provided by Christina Bifano, our lecturer from Barcelona.

And because MSKPU is not just about work, but also about people and relationships, after an intense day it was time to celebrate together, with vegan cake, organic wine and our beloved MSKPU team.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for MSKPU Diploma Show 2026.
