About

I am Pietro Giuseppe Cabassi, a young and dynamic fashion designer, graduated from Accademia Costume & Moda. My academic background and professional experience have equipped me with a broad set of skills and a unique perspective During my studies, I had the opportunity to work on innovative projects such as:The North Face: The Future of Exploration, which allowed me to develop a profound understanding of sustainable and functional design. Additionally, my experience with Italian Converter and Brioni, in the creation of menswear collections, has honed my ability to transform creative concepts into high-quality finished products.

“Active Armour” explores the potential of the body as a performative device through a reinterpretation of samurai armour in contemporary sportswear terms. The collection stems from the transfer of the structural principles of the ō-yoroi, including paneling, layering, joint protection and mobility, into a technical vocabulary composed of compression, mesh, quilting and ergonomic outerwear. The result is a modular wardrobe that merges activewear, ready-to-wear and padded pieces, building a silhouette that is both agile and armed. The chromatic palette of acids, cobalt, violet and neon gradients subverts the severity of traditional iconography in favour of a pop and digital dimension. Classical Kikkō and Sayagata patterns are reworked into synthetic graphic surfaces, aligning the project with the language of gaming and character design. The collection is embodied by Immagram, an avatar figure that replaces the real model with a hypothetical body: controlled, performative and deployable within the digital space. No longer a feudal samurai, but a cosmopolitan performer conceived for an urban and media arena. In this sense, “Active Armour” anticipates the intersection of fashion design, identity building and digital persona, proposing an image in which cultural heritage, sport and pop futurism coexist within a single coherent system.
