Wednesday 15 January, Istituto Modartech returns to the fore at The Social Hub in Florence with the event “Fashion Journey | Celebrating the Districts of Made in Italy”, on the occasion of Pitti Immagine Uomo 107, a prestigious showcase for the Fall/Winter 2025/26 collections.
At the centre is a workshop dedicated to the peculiarities of Italian production, from materials to manufacturing techniques. A journey into the heart of our country’s craftsmanship and manufacturing tradition with a talk reserved for students and teachers with the contribution of some AFAM academies representing the main fashion districts.
Following the Creative Exhibition, a selection of projects created by Modartech students from the Fashion Design degree course. Collections that reflect a balance between tradition and innovation, the result of collaboration with a network of technical partners with whom we share intentions and values. This synergy between training and the corporate world gives life to creations that reinterpret arts and crafts in a contemporary way, combining craftsmanship and entrepreneurship.
