The HERE and NOW as a mantra of balance, the equilibrium between opposites becomes a new inspirational concept.
Sociological analyses of the consumer show that everyone seeks the perfect balance to live a phygital existence, juggling their life between contrasting situations that nevertheless integrate with fluidity.
ON/OFF turn on digital interactions to share, for services and for experiences, turn off connections to rediscover calm, quiet, meditation, human relationships.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR experiencing the home as a high-performing cradle and networking with the wider community through secure interactions.

“FASHION SCHOOL FOR DESIGN – DRIVEN SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION in collaboration with C.L.A.S.S.
Piattaforma Sistema Formativo Moda Ente del Terzo Settore, on the occasion of Fashion Graduate Italia 2022, presented a project in strategic partnership and with the support of the international eco-hub C.L.A.S.S. (Creativity, Lifestyle And Sustainable Synergy) dedicated to students of the fashion schools that took part in the event.
The “Fashion Schools for design – driven sustainable innovation” project involved students in a training pathway ranging from the design to the creation of an outfit according to a responsible approach that starts with design, moves on to the choice of sustainable materials provided by some of the hub's partner companies, and culminates in reflection on the communication of their project.
The students’ creations (co-ordinated by Olivia Spinelli and Camilla Carrara) took centre stage in a special exhibition in a dedicated area for the entire duration of the event.
With the project “Fashion Schools for designer driven sustainable innovation”, C.L.A.S.S. and Fashion Graduate Italia wish to promote an innovative dialogue between fashion and sustainability that places the new generations of designers at the centre, along with the sharing of educational pathways to guide them towards new value-driven paths.
Federica Alessi and Sofia Ricci have created CARIFIA for Next Fashion School.
CARIFIA is a combination of letters from the names of the two creatives - Federica Alessi and Sofia Ricci - who represent the Next Generation for the project FASHION SCHOOLS for DESIGN-DRIVEN SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION, promoted by Piattaforma Sistema Formativo Moda together with C.L.A.S.S. and included in Fashion Graduate 2022.
It is the name of a virtual planet, located within the Metaverse, that will help the inhabitants of Earth to reprogram themselves, re-educate themselves and return to a state of symbiosis with nature and the environment; CARIFIA is the digital place where one trains to love the real planet Earth in order to live in sustainability and love for the cradle that created us.
Carifia features the warm colours of earthy tones and the blue hues of the sky and water; life here follows a pace suited to people, lived with respect for our surroundings, where balance and stability become essential elements. The outfit is functional and unrestrictive; it protects and facilitates a practical way of life in harmony with the colours of the environment.
Carifia is a tool designed to help and support the Earth.
Carifia’s garments have been made using fabrics supplied by the companies Berto and Brunello.
