History of fashion

The Historical Costume Studio at SAPU is where students create reconstructions of historical clothing. This photoshoot of historical garments, prepared with great attention to detail, is the result of design and manual work, demonstrating an understanding of past forms, styles, and construction.

By working on these stylings, students learn how silhouettes, materials, and sewing techniques have evolved. This experience allows them not only to recreate the past but also to better understand contemporary fashion and its sources. The attention to detail, construction and cultural context translates into more informed design in the future.

The history of costume is more than just the past — it’s an inspiration, an analytical tool and a starting point for creating fashion that is fully rooted in culture.
