As part of their advanced garment construction program, students explored the world of down through a dedicated training experience.

The day began with an in-depth look at the origins, treatments, and main characteristics of down, led by Andrea Molina, Product Manager at A. Molina & C. S.p.A.

Subsequently, Davide Bossi, Operations Director at Herno, illustrated how down is integrated into the brand’s production processes, with a focus on Laminar and its innovative approach to performance outerwear.

The experience concluded with a practical demonstration conducted by Herno’s master pattern-making tailor, offering students the opportunity to observe construction techniques up close and discover the details that make a high-quality outerwear garment unique.

Through direct dialogue with companies and industry professionals, Istituto Secoli continues to promote training oriented toward technical excellence, innovation, and Made in Italy culture.
