Translating a stylistic idea into a perfectly conceived product, based on the processes and techniques of the modern clothing industry, then developed with a sustainable approach. It is from this principle that the two Secoli outfits in the competition were conceived, designed, and created for the first Freudenberg – Fashion Sustainability 2018 contest, aimed at European fashion and design schools, scheduled for September 13th in Verona.
In the splendid setting of Piazza Bra, an international jury composed of experts, opinion leaders, and prominent figures in the sector will select the most sustainable projects for each of the three categories: innovation, technology, and design; each winner will receive a prize of 2,000 Euros. The two garments, created by students Enrica De Santis and Alessandra Burti, were born with the idea of reflecting on environmental issues, inspired by the increasingly urgent demand for eco-friendly solutions, even in the fashion sector. The materials used are natural and recyclable; the concept is inspired by the vital relationship existing between the subject, the environment, and its condition; the body, supported by elements of sign and color, conforms to the surrounding context.
Good luck to Enrica and Alessandra from the entire Secoli staff!
