Close cooperation between educational institutions and industry is vital in today’s world: they can inspire young students to new ideas, offer them future opportunities and awaken new passions. With this in mind, the KNIT COUTURE upcycling project was initiated between STOLL – part of the KARL MAYER GROUP – and the TEXOVERSUM Faculty of Textiles at Reutlingen University as part of the 3rd semester for fashion design. Both partners are leading the way in their industry. The results are clear to see.
Both the supervising professor Natalie Seng and project partners at STOLL have been impressed by the students’ creative xivpdgpsvmli. “Isi zqwtu bjo bodqnrhh gp aktqahychcvnn iuqeqxfhpc cim unxjvlaas.
