Thank you to everyone who took part!
Each of us possesses a place in our imagination that acts as a collector of thoughts, stimuli, and ideas.
Let's fill this place with what attracts us, strikes us, moves us, surrounds us, let's widen our gaze to take in visions.
It is a place that for creatives becomes an Observatory, filtered by our feelings, by who we are and what we perceive.
The Next Generation opens its eyes to the world, filling the Observatory with elements that will connect with other empathetic realities, creating bonds that are not limited to the digital but become real once more.
The NEXT GENERATION (in alphabetical order)
Federica Alessi; Yi Ting Bai; Lucia Buti; Alessia Buzau; Giulia Castellini; Aurora Cavallo; Sofia Censoni; Asia Leccese; Gaia Lovise; Viola Melandri; Victoria Minascurta; Giulia Minarini; Alice Romanelli; Iris Shpia
The making of Fashion Graduate Italia 2024
For the Next Generation, EYES WIDE OPEN is an attitude, featuring a drive of inexhaustible curiosity. New things are welcomed in their complete entirety, because every external stimulus, if carefully filtered and observed from different perspectives, becomes a path of growth and evolution. Contrasts become complementary values, the ease of the shirt is contrasted with the constraint of the bodice, and a stylistic bond is born, much like music, fashion and rebellion in the Glam Rock era.
Alessia Buzau, Giulia Minarini and Iris Shpia will star in the Making of FGI24!
“FASHION, AVANT-GARDE AND HISTORY: FIRMLY COMPLICIT” lecturer: Valeria Selvini.
Valeria Selvini, a Fashion Design lecturer at Next Fashion School, explained a broad chronological vision of the connection between the History of Fashion and the avant-garde to the participants.
The virtual lecture analysed how to extrapolate the stylistic foci of historical periods and the influences that have shaped the history of fashion, adapting them as inspiration for contemporary fashion design.
Historically, the fashion of various eras has always been a subject of interest and inspiration for creating the new, but in modern times it seems to be an established practice to revive a period and its most recognisable coordinates in order to re-evaluate and update them.
However, we need to shine a spotlight on evaluation, transformation and reasoned applications that turn into new stylistic traits, avoiding simplistic standard transpositions.
During the lecture, examples of analysis, reflections and creative processes that the market can receive with positivity and enthusiasm.
