Setting up The First Exhibition at ITS Arcademy, curated by Olivier Saillard.

Fashion Historian and curator Olivier Saillard setting up "ITS Arcademy - The First Exhibition", a selection of two decades of creativity that will preview on September 9th, 2022 during the finals of the twentieth edition of ITS Contest. "On the occasion of my first trip to Trieste, invited to discover the ITS Arcademy rich in more than 20 years of activity, Barbara Franchin, its director and president, has never ceased to underline the importance of the cash registers and boxes in which the individual portfolios are sent. From the four corners of the world, young emerging creators still veiled in anonymity, try the ITS Contest and send by sea or by plane, an intimate part of their own nascent creation. In order to remain faithful to these first consignments so full of hope, the exhibition retains the typology of works of art transport crates, of different formats, giant or ordinary. These boxes of all sizes structure the exhibition route. The visitor is thus invited to discover the exhibition as if it had just been delivered on site. This retains the poetic principles of packaging and protecting works of art when traveling. Case, foam, tissue paper, tywek, cartons, etc. ITS Arcademy Items are subdivided in clusters named as art movements: every Items is a masterpiece. With the same enthusiasm for the novelty offered to the ITS Family when they receive a project at the cash desk, each visitor discovers the clothing creations with that unique feeling of 'the first time'."
