Project Summary

Traditional Clothing in Europe, VEST, is a European project of innovation in collaboration based on three fundamental premises, on the one hand the existing similarities of popular clothing in Europe, where the basic garment is usually the same, but it differs in details and complements, on the other hand of the lack of documentary references and research in this regard, and finally of the need to disseminate and strengthen the European cultural heritage, so that citizens actively engage with it.

Based on these premises, VEST was born, an initiative that aims to publish a publication that includes a detailed analysis of the similarities of Traditional Clothing in Europe, with the purpose of disseminating it in the member countries and that serves as a support for the delivery of contents. training related to the textile sector, pattern design or fashion. For this, the project includes research activities in the six countries involved, Spain, France, Italy, Slovenia, Portugal and Estonia, transnational meetings every six months for the exchange of knowledge and multiplier events in the countries of the project partners.

VEST is an intercenter strategic alliance, through which schools will join efforts and share their know-how to obtain as a final product a publication that will become a benchmark in the field of traditional clothing in Europe.

VEST is therefore an open innovation project, open to the world, which will disseminate the results of its research, field work and technological surveillance through a publication that will be available in print and digital version.

As a final result, throughout the two years of the project, we will obtain a documentary product of high historical value that will serve as a starting point for future collaborative projects and with a high replicability capacity that can be extrapolated to the study of other heritage elements. European culture, acting as a tractor effect.
