Conceived by Caroline Tonna, Fashion Heritage: From Storage to Digital Revival is a one-year practice-based research project that integrates fashion heritage with emerging digital technologies, serving as the first phase toward a comprehensive online fashion heritage platform. This project responds to the absence of a national fashion museum in Malta by digitally documenting and reactivating fragile 18th–20th century garments held in private collections.
The project will establish the conceptual and visual framework for a sustainable, open-access digital platform, ensuring Malta’s fashion heritage is preserved, reinterpreted, and shared with international audiences.
This project is supported by the Sabbatical for Artistic Research Grant, Arts Council Malta.
