THE NORTH FACE X ACCADEMIA COSTUME & MODA: THE FUTURE OF EXPLORATION

After 6 months of hard work we finally revealed on Friday September 30th at Orefici11 store in Milan our project with The North Face.

Twenty students of the BA Fashion Editor, Styling & Communication and BA Costume & Fashion had the opportunity, working in pairs, to create a showcase of circular design and future thinking.

They were given free rein on old The North Face garments and challenged with giving them a new life, one that will leave a smaller footprint on the planet, putting into practice the training on circular design and brand communication provided by the brand’s team. Because it’s more than a jacket. It’s the future of exploration.

A big thank you to Darren Shooter, Jack Ibbetson, Giuliano Paradiso, Maria Pestalozza, Marta Comaschi, Stefania Menz for all your precious help to make this dream a reality!

Thank you as well to Barbara Trebitsch (Director of Education), Santo Costanzo (Coordinator Fashion Department) & Marco Meloni (Coordinator of Academic Programs & BA Communication) that were the heart and soul behind this project.

A round of applause to our students: Raffaele Rescigno, Rebecca Panella, Lucrezia Mattioli, Zita Alberti, Vincenzo Mastropasqua, Sofia Pagani, Giuliano Colucci, Vittoria Staschko, Stefania Porcheddu, Potito Forte, Ilaria Fabi, Eleonora Valle, Pietro Cabassi, Gisella Frustoli, Damiano Di Pede, Giulia Copelli, Giulio Fasolino, Anna Masala, Lorenzo Tolomei e Martina Mercuri.
