THE and MODATEX/Professional Training Center for the Textile, Clothing, and Wool Industry (Fashion Design Training) joined forces in 2011 to develop this project with the goal of providing a rich exchange of knowledge between academia and the labor market. This initiative offers an innovative experimental space aimed at promoting and showcasing new creators, creating an environment where creativity and innovation can flourish.
In this context, fashion design students at MODATEX have the unique opportunity to develop exclusive collections that foster the exchange of knowledge, always in harmony with the concept and unique identity of THE store.
This process allows students to apply their skills in a real-world environment, stimulating their creativity and preparing them for the challenges of the professional market. From this partnership, many young Portuguese designers have had the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in their course and prepare themselves excellently for the labor market.
Additionally, they have been able to showcase their creations in THE Porto and THE Lisboa stores, increasing the visibility and impact of their work alongside renowned designers.
