MARTINA MOTTA

PhD in Design, is a post-doc Research Fellow at the Design Department of Politecnico di Milano and an Adjunct Professor of Fashion Institute of Technology program in Milan. In her research she explores contemporary fashion design with a deepening focus on knitwear design, knitting technologies and graphic design for knitwear. With her doctoral dissertation, focused on the tools and methods for design education for the specific reality of the knitwear industry, she worked towards a new didactical approach to knitwear design that considers knitwear as a system where designers deal with a wide variety of stakeholders and where each moment –project, production, distribution, communication–, as part of this whole system, is included in the design process. She has been involved in various research projects and exhibitions in the field and contributed to create a rich network with the most relevant Italian and international knitwear.
