Our thesis investigates the relationship between fashion and heritage by means of temporary fashion events held at UNESCO World Heritage sites, with a unique site as case study. The complex known as Villa Adriana, in Tivoli (Rome, Italy) which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999, is a one-of-a-kind institution that combines elements of architecture, history, nature, and memory. The project’s name is “Collages of Memory”. The purpose is to host seven days of fashion shows that will be presented in various locations throughout the villa. These events would reinterpret the villa's complex history and memory through the medium of water.
