LCI Melbourne Fashion & Costume Graduate Runway Lights Up the Festival Stage

Part of PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Independent Programme, LCI Melbourne proudly took centre stage at this year’s PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival, presenting to sold out shows of our highly anticipated Fashion & Costume Graduate Runway 2025 as part of the festival’s Independent Programme.

Held at our Collingwood campus, this inspiring event was a celebration of vision, innovation, and dedication, as our final-year Fashion & Costume Design students debuted their graduate collections to a packed house of industry guests, peers, and the public.

From conceptual design through to final runway production, our graduates showcased their individual creative voices with boldness and professionalism. Each collection was a testament to their growth as designers—pushing boundaries, taking risks, and embracing diverse perspectives.

The runway also honoured the extraordinary academic and industry support behind each student, with special thanks to the Fashion & Costume Design faculty, including Darran Arabin-Gander, Natasa Pitra-Grbic, Gretchen Geoghegan, and Nasia Vlassopoulos.

“Today was about more than fashion—it was about vision, dedication, and creative expression. These graduates have poured months of hard work into their collections, pushing boundaries and embracing bold new ideas.” — Adriano Di Prato, Campus Director.

Congratulations to Di Feng, Ambrose Rubite, Mia Wilson, Rylee Martinsen, Alex Gibson, Alex Pennell, Ella Preston and Katinka Von Elsner Wellsteed on presenting a fantastic show.
