From the pandemic to the need for sustainable fashion, from the massive influence of social media on the new generations to inclusiveness, the garments made and the story of their genesis tell us a work of analysis, research, understanding and invention then translated into creations that reveal the technical skills and know-how acquired by students, enhancing the beauty of the fabrics and yarns utilised.
