Curatorial context

The Museo del Traje presents DiseñAR-T, a program designed for adolescents aged 12 to 18 to discover the world of fashion from within. The initiative aims to foster an interest in cultural leisure activities and potentially spark vocations within the textile and fashion industries. Over the course of the school year, participants attend weekly sessions that combine museum collection exploration with practical workshop activities focused on personal design creation. These designs are ultimately presented in a public fashion show at the end of the program. The program is structured around three core axes: Creation, which covers the conception of a collection, historical inspiration, and production; Management, exploring the business aspects of the industry such as brand creation and market introduction; and Communication, which delves into fashion dissemination, its cultural significance, and its place within museum collections. To enrich this experience, the museum collaborates with industry professionals who share their expertise and career paths. Notably, Lorenzo Caprile serves as the project's patron, and Paul de Oteyza was an invited speaker at the inaugural session.
