This project arises from the desire to tell a story, to demonstrate how, from a simple concept, something truly captivating can be created. More than a design exercise, the proposal explores the creative process as a journey where each decision responds to the need to convey a message.

Concept and starting point

The challenge was to design a collection composed of twenty pieces, with the sole premise of being inspired by a video game. After analyzing several options, the choice fell on The Witcher, a universe rich in mythology, medieval aesthetics and epic narrative. However, the goal of the project was not limited to creating attractive designs, but to develop a collection with conceptual coherence, where each garment would tell its own story.

Research and creative process

Before tackling the design, a documentation phase was carried out, based on the premise that everything has been invented and that the real work of the designer lies in reinterpreting and giving new meaning to what already exists.

This journey included:

• Exploration of medieval art and iconography.
• Observation of visual references in and out of The Witcher universe.
• Sketching and experimenting with shapes, textures and silhouettes.
• Color testing and development of color palettes.
• Pattern creation and development of technical sheets.

A process of personal and professional discovery

As the project progressed, it became clear that designing the collection not only involved shaping garments, but also immersing oneself in a process of self-exploration. What at first seemed like a clear source of inspiration, ended up deriving in a wider and deeper universe, where each decision reflected a discovery about one's own style, identity and design vision.

This project demonstrates that fashion creation goes far beyond aesthetics: it's about storytelling through design. Taking inspiration from The Witcher was the starting point, but the real result has been the construction of a collection that fuses the narrative with the visual, exploring the boundary between design, identity and unrestricted creativity.
