Davide Racca
Undergraduate Course in Textile & Fashion design
My name is Davide Racca, and I was born in 1993 in Carmagnola.
I have always had a strong sensitivity and a clear aesthetic in relation to creative contexts. Howe-ver, before embarking on the recently completed course at IAAD, I didn’t have the opportunity to academically explore this ability.
Indeed, my educational journey has been quite tumultuous. After graduating in electronics and telecommunications from the E. Amaldi Industrial Technical Institute in Orbassano, I entered the workforce.
A few years later, with a stable job, I decided to retrace my steps and invest my time and resources to prove to myself that I had something to offer creatively. That’s when I decided to pursue the academic path of Textile and Fashion Design offered by IAAD.
During my studies, I was able to achieve what I consider to be personal as well as professional goals. I participated in numerous workshops that solidified my design approach, and most importantly, I had the opportunity to work several times in collaboration with my favorite designer’s company: Rick Owens.
My thesis project was a pleasant culmination of an extremely satisfying journey. I continued my collaboration with Owenscorp, creating an autobiographical thesis project inspired by the phases and experiences that have made me the proud person I am today.
