ACCADEMIA COSTUME E MODA'S HISTORICAL ARCHIVE

A priceless treasure of history, creativity, and innovation. A heritage that safeguards the deep roots of Accademia Costume & Moda, bearing witness to the evolution of Costume and Fashion in Italy.

From 1950 to 2012, over fifty years of documentation tell the story of one of the first higher education institutions in this field: a journey shaped by vision, talent, and passion, which has molded generations of professionals.

Letters, photographs, and press reviews become fragments of memory, capturing the cultural and artistic vibrancy of each era, intertwining the stories of students, lecturers, designers, and costume makers who have helped shape the Accademia into the dynamic hub it is today.

A living archive that does not merely preserve the past but inspires the present and guides the way towards an innovative future.
