Questa ricerca si pone l’obiettivo di indagare e mettere in evidenza le radici del design dell’accessorio. Una panoramica storica ripercorre tutte le fasi di fondamentale importanza in questo ambito in termini di innovazioni, scelte estetiche e tecniche di produzione. Da questo studio emerge chiaramente come il “saper fare” e la leadership italiana nel settore traggano origine dal passato e si basino su una solida tradizione artigianale. Molti esempi di figure pionieristiche e di eccellenza italiana sottolineano come il progetto dell’accessorio sia stato il punto di partenza di alcune delle più importanti aziende del sistema moda italiano che, partendo da questa categoria di prodotti, hanno saputo costruire il proprio impero. Dal ventunesimo secolo è possibile osservare come le tecnologie contribuiscano a ridefinire il modo in cui pensiamo al design, alla produzione e al consumo della moda. Per queste ragioni, lo studio termina con la creazione di un nuovo scenario in grado di fondere estetiche moderne, sensazioni tradizionali e tecnologie avanzate in una collezione di borse smart interattive.
