GALLERY

Intergraf Currency+Identity 2025 in Milan opened with an extraordinary first: the Currency+Identity Défilé, a unique showcase that merged fashion, art, design, and cutting-edge security materials in a way never seen before.

Created in partnership with NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, the défilé captivated the audience with its unexpected and unconventional perspective on our industry. Smiles, curiosity, and amazement filled the room as each outfit - crafted from security materials sourced from some of our exhibitors - told a story of innovation and craftsmanship.

A Pocket Full of Milan brought to life the creative potential of the extraordinary materials that drive the currency and identity sectors. Inspired by Milan’s global reputation as a fashion capital, the designs reflected how security printing products are part of everyday life across all ages, genders, and professions.

The NABA student team

Security printing meets couture - brought to life not only by Intergraf’s commitment to showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of our industry’s materials but also by the vision of a team of NABA BA students in Set Design. With enthusiasm and contagious energy, they embraced this challenge and developed the concept A Pocket Full of Milan.


Lina, Aleksandra, Noga, Anna, Ava, Gabriela, and Aysha, under the guidance of their professor Emilia, share a passion for costume design and working with unconventional materials. Each designer draws inspiration in their own way, from whimsical concepts to narrative-driven creations. This project has pushed their creative boundaries, offering them a unique opportunity to experiment, innovate, and work as a team.
