The conference focuses on the reproducibility of a specific military uniform modeled on three garments: the Original, which is the uniform worn by a leader during a military parade; the Copy of the military uniform, or the replica made in the tailor's shop and kept in the atelier spaces; the Derivato, or the uniform as a stage costume worn by an actor who plays the leader in a film.
