Textile design is great part of Italian cultural tradition.<\/strong> In Italy there are some of the most prestigious and famous textile districts in the world such as the Como lake area renowned for silk and prints, Biella is famous for the wool manufacturing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Textile industry\u00a0has always been deeply rooted in the local territory<\/strong>, for this reason a true national culture has never developed.<\/p>\n

We also talked about this during the Instagram direct with the textile & surface designer Silvia Stella Osella, you can read it as an interview here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This local stories are the reason why in Italy is not easy to find courses about textile design and why they are located in the areas where the textile industry is stronger, also due to the close relationship between companies and schools.
\nWe should also say that while abroad, textile design is an independent and well known discipline, often in Italy it is brought together in the fashion studies.<\/strong><\/p>\n
