Italian tanner Dani and the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) celebrated their collaboration with student projects on display in the UNIC showroom in central Milan. Report by ILM.
“Best of DANI x IFM” presented a few of the creations from the Accessory Design of the Master of Arts course across the past decade, with sustainable leather as the main material.
Under the supervision of Leyla Neri and faculty members Heidi Mueller and Julie Asperti-Boursin, students in the Accessory Design course have been involved in workshops in collaboration with Dani to discover how leather is made and its benefits for finished products.
The IFM is a higher education institution, a training centre for apprentices, a provider of management training and a centre of expertise for the textile, fashion and luxury industry, based in Paris, France.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
