Inspired by the elements of the Italian light cavalry armour alla Tedesca, characterized by Germanic stylistic influences, I developed a series of garments and accessories that reinterpret the key elements of armour through a contemporary fashion perspective.

The research focuses on the transposition of military and protective aesthetics into fashion, transforming the structures, materials, and details of armour into functional and decorative elements of the look. The combat boots are enhanced with straps and overlapping elements that reference the fastening systems and articulated sections of the armour, while the belt follows the same formal language through a construction inspired by protective elements and military equipment.

The mesh T-shirt visually recalls the structure and texture of the cuirass, reinterpreting its protective function through a lighter and more contemporary material. At the centre of the look, the metal bodice acts as a reinterpretation of the cuirass, featuring metallic details and accessories that emphasize its sculptural character.

Wrist guards and a collar complete the silhouette, further echoing the shapes and protective structures of the original armour. The result is a contemporary reinterpretation of historical armour, in which its original protective function is transformed into an aesthetic and sartorial language, creating a dialogue between history, the body, and fashion.
