Beginning with an analysis of the intangibility of fashion as an observatory of the contemporary, the contribution makes explicit the work carried so far by Officina V:, with particular attention to the new technologies and fashion-oriented manufacturing processes. The essay concludes by describing some recent fashion research projects to trace future developments and approaches of the Hub to enhance its authenticity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
