From June 14th to 18th, during Pitti Uomo, third-year students from the Polimoda Fashion Art Direction course present the exhibition THreSH(h)ōld – a point of beginning at Building B9 in Manifattura Tabacchi.
The exhibition showcases a collection of installations that explore the intersection between visual arts and the world of fashion, transforming retail spaces into an engaging and transformative cultural experience.
THreSH(h)ōld invites visitors to cross the physical and allegorical threshold, immersing themselves in a kaleidoscopic vision presented through fourteen projects designed for various fashion brands, discovering new proposals in the field of experiential fashion retail.
