"Trame vissute" is the title of the project carried out by the students of ITS TAM Biella, inspired by the upcycling technique that gives a second life to garments that have already been worn. The project, promoted by the Fondazione Venezia and coordinated by Upskill Venezia, was developed with Demis Marin’s Atelier Ramosalso in collaboration with ITS TAM Biella’s teachers, Andrea De Marco and Gigliola Vinci. One piece from the collection will be on display at TAM’s stand located in the IdeaBiella area, which most companies consistently collaborate with the school. Dedicated to training highly qualified technicians ready to enter the working world of Textile, Clothing, & Fashion, TAM has been operating for over 12 years in Biella’s woolen district, in close contact with the entire supply chain.
The piece to be presented started as a women's suit consisting of a jacket, skirt, and gilet, which was transformed into a trench coat. The jacket and skirt were sewn together and finished with grosgrain trimming along the edges. The gilet, shortened and turned into a double-sided cape, was applied on top of the coat.
