voyage across the desert All of us have a childhood dream, all have a dream to realize. The project consists in designing the student voyage and making a jacket that represents it. The location of the voyage is the Sahara desert: a boundless territory where abandoning to meditate on our existence and on our presence in the world.

blue denim The group project is a collection of four dresses made out of a denim fabric previously transformed with different technics. The theme of the project is water in the Japanese culture: a purifying element that expresses a vision of the world in a continuous movement.
Discolours, dyes, scrapings, cuts and applications create a new fabric, which reflects the different forms of water in nature, whether a delicate drop, a powerful jet,a sinuous wave or a light spray.

waves The aim of the project is to reinterpret the Victorian, four-panel corset developing a new technic for the construction and the making. The concept of waves is given redesigning the margins of the paper patterns as curves. The fabric dying technics refer to the marine theme.
The sea foam is made by sprays of white paint, the reflections of the light on water by the dying technic of tie-dye and the sand dunes of the sea bottom are made sewing a rope wavy.

product development This project is in partnership with the L.S. International – Wolverhampton Company and concerns the health and safety work wear. Starting from an existing uniform, a fire fighter coverall, the student develops an updated version focusing on details.
The renewed garment is more modern and attractive maintaining the required security standards, but adding elements that make it more practical and functional. The student is asked to give evidence of the changes by a precise technical drawing and sew a toile of a detail taken from the new version.

artisans 2.0 Contemporary objects, architectures and installations are the starting point for the making of a hat representing the idea of design for the student. “Artisans 2.0� combines the artisan aspects to the digital technologies.
The mesh net is a reference to the ancient manufacturing of baskets and stands for Internet as a social platform that connects the creative people from all over the world. The fluorescent property of the hat calls to mind the art works that need an imaginative effort to be understood and relate the objects to the observers.
