ITS Arcademy – Museum of Art in Fashion opens in Trieste

Italy inaugurates the first contemporary fashion museum and the first entirely dedicated to emerging design talent:

‘ITS Arcademy is the culmination of over twenty years of research and dialogue with new generations of creatives. Creatives discovered in schools all over the world, tracked and brought to Trieste to become part of a family that continues to grow. The ITS Arcademy archive is an unfolding account of the ‘times’ and of how creativity has reacted to an ever changing historical and cultural context. Systematizing our heritage to make it available to the wider public is a deeply felt mission. It stems from the desire to enhance the material we have by using it as a stimulus to build new futures. Because the ITS Arcademy observatory is both history and future. It is an open-door project where the visitor is invited to discover, guided by their own curiosity. The entire project is ultimately a mission of conservation and purpose. In preserving and exhibiting creative ideas and products, it embodies a vocation to open a gateway, activating a flow: creativity that stimulates connections and thoughts, in a continuous and fruitful way.’
