The Cool Hunter applies a sociological research approach based on the visual exploration of the changes in human taste, thought and lifestyle and their translation into possible consumption scenarios.
The Cool Hunter must identify, analyse and translate new trends and contemporary dynamics into clear concepts to be used as tools for designing fashion products.
The aim of the workshop is to understand fashion as a flow of trends and as a dimension in which consumers play the increasingly active role as indicators of emerging needs. The workshop is an educational experience that will allow students to learn a research approach through the method of the learning by doing and will lead them to develop a cool hunting research with the support of the teacher. The trends analysis implies an ability to observe the surrounding reality as well as an insightful and curious spirit, which will be stimulated through iconographic research.
Language: The lessons are held in Italian language; to attend the course, is required a good knowledge of Italian language reading and oral comprehension.
