Visit to the new PielColor South America Innovation Center

June 14, 2010
On June 8, a group of 23 students from the Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design program, along with the instructors for the Accessory Design course—Walter Lema, Andrea Montedónico, and Mariana Muzi—visited the new PielColor South America Innovation Center. They were welcomed by the General Manager, Ms. Rosa Fité, and her technical team, who gave a digital presentation on the entire leather processing cycle, followed by a tour of the showroom to view the new collection of leathers with PielColor finishes for the upcoming 2011/2012 season.

Afterward, the group took a tour of the plant to observe the production process and the use of the various products. Finally, they had the opportunity to work on a piece of leather, which—after undergoing all the finishing processes—was donated to the School of Design.
