The present thesis aims to explore the possibilities of transmitting the rich heritage of fashion knitwear through 3D modeling technologies. Focusing on archetypes present in the Gianfranco Ferrè Research Center, the research aims to conduct an in-depth study on the effective application of such technologies. The main objectives can be identified as two-fold: the first is to identify the best software for virtualizing knitwear and experiment with a suitable method for rendering the analyzed material, finding alternative solutions to those already outlined in the program's manuals; the second is to enhance the knitwear heritage through digital representation, offering a compelling narrative that highlights the archive as a cultural treasure and knitwear as an innovative technique in fashion. To achieve these objectives, the research will begin with an exploration of fashion archives, specifically the Gianfranco Ferrè Research Center archive and its resources, as well as knitwear archives in Italy. Following this, an analysis of the main 3D modeling software available on the market will be conducted to identify the most suitable for this project. Subsequently, an archetypal sample of knitwear from the Research Center will be analyzed, and 3D models of these garments will be developed. Guidelines for future development of digital models of knitwear products and an example of an online platform facilitating their consumption and observation will also be presented. The development of 3D models and the creation of guidelines for the production of future knitwear models through digital modeling software are conceived as a possible response to the question of whether it is possible to virtualize knitwear using software not necessarily specific to the material. The section dedicated to project dissemination primarily targets those interested in the world of knitwear and the history of fashion, with the goal of engaging a broad audience, attempting to understand if it is possible to effectively synthesize the richness of information present and required for archival knitwear through a digital platform. The digital approach overcomes physical limitations, allowing a wider audience to access the material without geographical constraints. This digital approach not only makes the heritage accessible to a broad audience but also stimulates interest in the Research Center, expanding involvement and appreciation for knitwear as a cultural and innovative element in fashion. The archive, conceived as an endless story looking towards the future, becomes an essential mosaic of daily experiences serving as a memory for the future, promoting continuous progress and innovation.
La presente tesi si propone di esplorare le possibilità di trasmettere il ricco patrimonio di maglieria di moda attraverso le tecnologie di modellazione 3D. Concentrandosi sugli archetipi presenti nel Centro di Ricerca Gianfranco Ferrè, la ricerca mira a condurre uno studio approfondito sull’applicazione efficace di tali tecnologie. Gli obiettivi principali sono identificabili in due: il primo è quello individuare il software migliore per la virtualizzazione di capi in maglia e sperimentare il metodo di utilizzo consono a rendere la materia presa in analisi, trovando soluzioni alternative a quelle tracciate già dai manuali del programma stesso; il secondo è quello di valorizzare il patrimonio di maglieria attraverso una rappresentazione digitale, offrendo una narrazione avvincente che metta in luce l’archivio come tesoro culturale e la maglieria come tecnica innovativa nella moda. Per raggiungere questi obiettivi si procederà prima con una ricerca sugli archivi di moda e nello specifico l’archivio del Centro di Ricerca Gianfranco Ferrè e le sue risorse, e sugli archivi di maglieria in Italia, dopo ciò si procederà con l’analisi dei principali software di modellazione 3D presenti sul mercato e l’individuazione del più consono per questo progetto, in seguito saranno presi in analisi un campione archetipico dei capi in maglieria del Centro di Ricerca e infine saranno sviluppati i modelli 3D di questi ultimi, delle linee guida per sviluppi futuri di modelli digitali di prodotti in maglia e infine un esempio di piattaforma online dove facilitare la fruizione e l’osservazione degli stessi. Lo sviluppo di modelli 3D e la creazione di linee guida volte alla produzione di futuri modelli in maglia attraverso software di modellazione digitale sono concepiti come possibile risposta alla domanda che si chiede se sia possibile virtualizzare dei capi in maglieria attraverso software non necessariamente specifici per la materia. La sezione volta alla divulgazione del progetto si rivolge principalmente a coloro interessati al mondo della maglieria e alla storia della moda, con l’obiettivo di coinvolgere un vasto pubblico, provando a comprendere se sia possibile sintetizzare in maniera efficace attraverso una piattaforma digitale la ricchezza di informazioni presenti e necessarie di capi in maglieria d’archivio. L’approccio digitale consente di superare le limitazioni fisiche, consentendo a un pubblico più ampio di accedere al materiale senza vincoli geografici. Questo approccio digitale non solo rende accessibile il patrimonio a un vasto pubblico ma stimola anche l’interesse verso il Centro di Ricerca, ampliando il coinvolgimento e l’apprezzamento della maglieria come elemento culturale e innovativo nella moda. L’archivio, concepito come una storia infinita che guarda al futuro, diventa così un mosaico essenziale di esperienze quotidiane che servono come memoria per il futuro, promuovendo il progresso e l’innovazione continuativa.
