Turning Surplus into Potential
The beating heart of the project was a gesture as simple as it was powerful: RUFA students gave new life to deadstock fabrics and textile leftovers from our archive.
This was not merely a design exercise. It was a practical demonstration of how one can:
- Concretely reduce textile waste.
- Create new aesthetic and ethical value.
- Empower a new generation of designers, accustoming them immediately to a conscious and circular approach.
This initiative perfectly embodies our BERTO for Sustainability philosophy:
- We turn surplus into potential: We view our scraps not as a problem, but as a resource and a canvas for innovation.
- We share knowledge and materials: Opening our archives and our expertise to fashion schools means investing directly in the ethical future of the fashion system.
The result is a concrete contribution to a more ethical, inclusive, and forward-thinking fashion system. Thank you to RUFA for involving us in a project that skillfully blends culture, creativity, and social responsibility.
