On March 16, 2024, the Accademia Costume & Moda hosted its inaugural solo fashion show in Rome, showcasing the Final Work 2024 collections from 20 students enrolled in the Diploma Accademico di Primo Livello in Costume e Moda. This event represented a shift from past partnerships with AltaRoma, which ended operations a year prior. Director Lupo Lanzara expressed gratitude towards former AltaRoma president Silvia Fendi for her support. The show occurred at the Acquario Romano, under the auspices of several organizations, including Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana and Regione Lazio, coordinated by Santo Costanzo and Luigi Mulas Debois. Award recipients included Alessio Musatti and Mattia Pozzo for Fashion Design, and Sabrina Raus for Accessories Design. Notably, first-year asylum seeker Nosakhare Ekhator, aided by scholarships, participated. Founded in 1964 by Rosana Pistolese, the academy plans to launch a new campus in October 2024 at the former Magazzini Mas in the Esquilino district, featuring advanced classrooms and specialized labs. The event also included a site visit and a walking tour of the area.
