Thoughts after Stage Fashion Ecology

The eco-friendly fashion on June 23 was the star of the first edition of the Fashion Stage Ecology, an event which saw the rich comparison between new generations of designers and companies that, in recent years more and more numerous, have chosen the path of environmental protection . PHASE - Factory Seriana Energy is an old historic establishment of paper mills Pigna Alzano Lombardo (BG), an area closely linked to the textile culture.


But it is also a project whose mission is to qualify as an incubator for research, innovation, training, excellence and production of new business to be spread on the territory and beyond, to transform the "sustainable community" instead of evolving knowledge and open to the future . The day began with a conference on sustainable textiles: the core of the debate, opportunities for renewal and economic development, in addition to market trends and fashion and recycling in the production line.

At the end of the creations were presented to participants in the contest organized by STEP: young students had to make clothes and accessories using natural materials and fabrics strictly, recycled or sustainable (three themes to choose from: "Last minute travel kit", "Shirt white "and" Paper! Why Not.

"). The jury that issued the "verdict of creativity" was composed by Martin Midali (designer), Georgia Caovilla (entrepreneur and designer brand Jour OR), Tiziana Fausti (entrepreneur), Alessandro Argentieri (journalist Style Trend), Monica Santini ( President of Confindustria Bergamo textile entrepreneurs) and Silvio Albini (Albini Group CEO).

More originality showed the three students from the European Institute of Design in Milan, who have earned it the opportunity to do an internship at Gibo SpA (Curno), an important industry which produces for reference brands in the fashion International. No less appreciated are the creations of other schools in competition: the Institute "Olga Fiorini" (Chest Arstizio), the Institute Caniana (Bergamo), the National Institute of Design, Fashion and Design (Lecco) and the school Silv (Bergamo).

Among the side events of note is the exhibit The upcycling Gallery: exercises piracy design by Amanda Montanari Deposit with the help of Rita, Nicolò Artioli and students of the workshop "Hackers" IUAV University of Venice. Fashion Stage Ecology is therefore proposed as an excellent starting point for talking about fashion and sustainability (themes studied in the next Trend Style Shopping Bis), with a look towards the future of a world that responds to new feelings and needs more urgent .
