DESIGN, THINK, CHANGE | Ferragamo and Polimoda, Innovating together for a Sustainable Future

Design, Think, Change, Innovating together for a Sustainable Future, the research project in collaboration with @ferragamo and Matteo Ward, has just started, exploring new paths in sustainable fashion. While visiting Ferragamo’s headquarters, Master in Sustainable Fashion students attended a presentation by James Ferragamo, Chief Transformation & Sustainability Officer at FERRAGAMO, Matteo Ward, Mentor and CEO Inside Out Fashion, Textiles & Home and Stefania Ricci, Director at Museo Salvatore Ferragamo. They then got a sneak peek at some of the unique pieces from Fondazione Ferragamo’s archive. Guided by Matteo Ward, students collaborated to develop innovative business ideas inspired by FERRAGAMO’s identity. The project, rooted in design thinking and systems analysis, aimed to foster practical skills in sustainability and innovation management. By analyzing FERRAGAMO’s archival heritage and operational processes—including design, production, and distribution— students worked towards cutting-edge circular solutions for materials, products, services, and business models. The results of this research were presented on March 12 during the Design, Think, Change panel talk in Florence. #Polimoda #Ferragamo #SustainableFashion ----------------------------- Follow us on: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Polimoda Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/polimodafirenze/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/polimoda TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@polimoda X - https:/
