Le gabbie per il corpo - My first thesis is a research of accessories that have constrained the female body in the story; I have called them "cages" of the body. The written part is followed by a project of a jewel that mirrors the shape of the corset (one of the main cages of all the ages), but has a new substance: it permits movements since it is wearable thanks to four pins. Its name is "Liberty" because its lines derives from the french Art Nouveau and because it is a symbol of the opening of the body.
