Why choose this course at Laboratorio Firenze?

Attending a fashion course in Florence is a unique opportunity that few can experience. The concept of fashion as we understand it today emerged in Florence, and more specifically in the Renaissance, with the introduction of new genres and a high degree of professionalism in sewing. Renaissance Italy saw the appearance of the richest and most spectacular costumes in history, with vivid colours and imaginative and original shapes, giving great importance to sleeves, pleats and vertical folds of the fabric, with fine embroidery and rich trimmings.

In these workshops we will work the moulage technique. Moulage is a three-dimensional design and production technique that allows great freedom in terms of design. From time immemorial, moulage has been a widely used technique in the field of haute couture.

As well as being the cradle of the Renaissance, Florence has a long tradition and a worldwide reputation in the world of fashion and art, perfectly intertwining tradition, contemporaneity and modernity.

Laboratory Description

The history of fashion, an introspection into the qualities, forms, colours, printing techniques, embroideries and applications through the different cultures and their uses and customs.

In this laboratory, we will travel through the centuries, examining the habits and evolution of humanity over time, discovering how the social and cultural implications from the 11th to the 21st centuries influenced the way of dressing in different periods. And when and why clothing became a concept that transcends the need to cover up or transport things. The attention towards beauty in all its artistic expressions in the Florentine Renaissance between the 14th and 16th centuries, also affected the uses and customs of clothing. In fact, in the middle of the Renaissance, in the city of Florence, there is talk for the first time of the concept of fashion.

Fashion is always changing, reinventing itself and adapting itself to create new trends. In this laboratory, you will discover all the milestones in the history of fashion and you will learn to identify styles and where they come from.

For any of the areas of fashion in which you decide to train professionally, it is important to have extensive knowledge of the evolution of fashion and the trends in society at different times.
