Costrutto is a modular clothing system designed by F. M. Quintavalle. A mutable, repairable, and upgradable garment made to adapt to real life. Not to be admired, but to be inhabited. A sartorial strategy presented by Chirale.
In collaboration with academic institutions, Chirale supports projects that integrate innovative technologies and biomaterials, offering students spaces for experimentation and concrete opportunities for growth.
In this context, the exhibition of Costrutto stands as a direct example of support for emerging talent: a real platform for presenting and valuing projects that combine research, function, and vision.
Costrutto is a modular clothing system designed by Francesco Maria Quintavalle as his graduation thesis, created to meet the practical, sensory, and environmental needs of the wearer.
During Rome Fashion Path, visitors will be able to explore part of the design process: prototypes, modules, compositional logic, and usage documentation.
Designed to adapt to the conditions of everyday life, Costrutto reduces the number of choices and expands the margin of freedom. It is not an object to be admired, but a strategy to be inhabited.
No longer a seasonal garment, but a changeable, repairable, upgradable companion: new modules are introduced only when real needs emerge.
Modularity, in Costrutto, is not just an aesthetic language but an ethical position. Each component serves a precise function. Every design choice — from material to construction — is guided by sustainability and the centrality of the individual.
