All faculties participants are asked to present at the beginning of the week a gown or a vest of the period of 1800-1814, as typical of their traditions, as well as a brief presentation (15-20 min each) trough pictures, sketches, power point presentation to explain the historical and local contest of the costume presented. At the end of all presentations will be made the international Team works composed by 1 student from each Countries. The international team works will be, now, more aware of the International contest, traditions, ways of accepting an International codified fashion and could be effectively able to produce a ideas for a new integrated fashion proposal based on weaving traditions. Each Faculty should participate with 5 students. The International Team works will be working in the laboratories of the State Art Institute of Porta Romana. I remind you that the aim of the workshop is to build international friendship through the mean of Fashion.
