Three Polimoda students are behind the soon-to-be-presented capsule collection which includes Fiorentina’s fourth kit for this season.
The Club, Kappa® and the world-renowned fashion school involved students from the third year of the Fashion Design and Fashion Business courses in an initiative which began last October and the results of which are now set to be revealed. Their task was to come up with the design and launch campaign for the new capsule collection comprising T-shirt, hoodie and fourth kit for the 2023/24 season.
This highly engaging experience came about from the desire of Fiorentina, Polimoda and Kappa® to bring together the different worlds of football, fashion and sports clothing while placing the emphasis on youth, talent, innovation, internationality and, above all, passion for Fiorentina.
The students jumped at the chance to put themselves to the test following the rules, requirements and quirks of the sports business. They studied the club’s history, tradition, fans and visceral bond with Florence to devise proposals using an original, creative international language. Working in teams, each group of three students put forward a proposal that included the capsule collection and launch campaign in accordance with the brief given them by Fiorentina, Polimoda and Kappa®, which they then presented to representatives of the football club.
The winning design was by Noè Falchi (Fashion Design), Giulia Lin and Juliana Llobet (Fashion Business): they created a fun, catchy concept, a blend of history, legend and modernity in an innovative capsule collection that fits in well with the entire 2023/24Kappa® collection.
