Young students studying fashion broaden their experiences collaborating on the fashion show

The project involved young students studying fashion design at High School in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The aim was to broaden their experiences and inspire future education & career choices with the opportunity to challenge themselves in the development of a specific fashion-based briefing, connecting their learning experience at school with the professional fashion industry. The students were be asked to conceive and design a complete outfit inspired by one of the over 200 pieces collected in the ITS Creative Archive. This allowed them to learn from the most forward-thinking techniques applied by our past finalists. More importantly, they will have to develop their proposal through the use of recycled fabrics - offered by DIESEL - with a sustainable and creative approach. Two students were chosen as winners and called to produce the outfits imagined in their projects, which were included in the ITS creative archive. They were also invited to participate in the ITS 2019 finals, where they met and engaged with the finalists of this year’s edition, drawing from their learning processes. They had the unique opportunity to experience the backstage by collaborating on the fashion show.
