LEGACY
Preserving creativity, inspiring the future
The Fashion Research Italy Foundation protects and promotes one of Europe's largest textile and paper archives: a wealth of data, textures, and colors that tell the story of Italian creativity. A place where memory is not only preserved, but renewed, generating inspiration for tomorrow.
The Heritage
The Fashion Research Italy Foundation Archives represent a unique heritage that unites history, art, and innovation, spanning decades of creativity: from the boldest graphic experiments to refined interpretations of vintage trends.
The collection comprises over 30,000 drawings on paper and fabric, handcrafted by renowned international graphic design studios for renowned fashion houses. The materials are stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled vaults, a care that guarantees their integrity and makes them a living source of research, study, and creativity.
Value for Today
The preservation of these drawings is not an end in itself: it means passing on know-how, opening windows of research for professionals and companies, and offering new perspectives of inspiration for the design of contemporary collections.
The Archive thus becomes a bridge between memory and the future, between tradition and innovation.
