Porrajmos. Eclissi di un Popolo. “A People penalized by the process and from mutations
of modernity and trapped by laymen and religious dictatorships and
prejudices. The purpose of the project
is to translate the story of a community of gypsies, the Lovara, which has
always been passed down orally, in a language that is contemporary and
understandable to everyone: the visual.
Historical and cultural themes are thus expressed unconventionally. The collection summarizes, from the origins
of genocide of the Fascist era, a tragedy always justified on how “ to do
justice”.” Alice Di Ilio.

Gewand der Macht. “Nineteenth century Vienna, Franz Joseph I von
Osterreich is portrayed in uniform. Characterized by the high and stiff collars,
a narrow waistline highlights the shoulders; the rigidness portrays the
austerity, the power and elegance of the wearer. The strong lines of those uniforms, their
colors, took me to design-padded researched outerwear. The closures are brooches that
recall the grades of medals. Under the
jackets, white shirts with stiff collars have a mother of pearl first
button." Gianluca Ferracin.

Vestura. “Evoked rituality, simplified construction, textiles declared. Vestura (to dress) is an exercise in the
attention to dressing, intended as a practice of intimacy and cultural
habits. A link between man and garment
resolved according to linguistic codes of a design that plays, explores and
subtracts. The results are unique, minimally decorated garments that evade
traditional sartorial construction and produce an unexpected fit on the male
body.” Laura Stefanetto.

Treviso: Open day - Fashion Design - University IAUV of Venice. End of Year Show. The End of Year Show, MA in Fashion Design and Theories, curated by Fabio Quaranta was held in the seventeenth century Palazzo Giacomelli. “The uni-directionality of design inhibits a vision of contemporary fashion design. Therefore the influences of which we are accustomed to require our “moodboard” to include also “how” we set our creative process. In a macro view, the process of defining an issue and reconsidering its sequentiality of choice of materials and forms, construction and representation provides an opportunity for the individual designer to focus beyond mere design, and sharpen one’s own methodology and style. The desire to stimulate the potential in the student meant that the course was articulated starting from photo-shooting. It was an obvious paradox to the fashion system, for it put first what is normally the last phase of the fashion design project. The outcome, obtained in such an unpredictable way, has stimulated an alternative view on fashion: inventing a process to engender new potentialities.” Fabio Quaranta.

Frames. “The collection is based on the module of the cube, the geometric structure is repeated, developed and organized, the concept similar to the composition of the crystals, which combined form a mineral. The structure encloses crystals within a stone of an opaque surface. The project bases it method on the dichotomy between interior and exterior. The color palette evokes the tones of amethyst and white of the quartz; the transparency is given by the choice of Plexiglas and resin, in some cases filed with fragments of crinoline fabric. Embroidered applications of minerals decorate the accessories, which are thought as a light on a dressed figure.” Francesca Linda Ciriotto.

Design - University IAUV of Venice. End of Year Show. Susanna Battistutto. Figura Cabalistica. “The
geometric suggestions of the project are inspired from the seventeenth century
esoteric-alchemical representation of the world made by Rosacroce. The collection of accessories is based on the
convergence of lines and planes, in which volumes are defined from the
interaction between angular surfaces of rigidity and amplitude. The materials and colors used consist of a
warm opaque black in contraposition to the bright iridescence of shiny skin, of
multicolor metal blends and of the reflections of the mallard and peacock
feathers.” Susanna Battistutto.

(Hons) in Fashion Design - University IAUV of Venice – Francesca Rorato – Sorry
We Are Children. “The first decade of
the century sees the child become man prematurely, assuming the roles of his
father called to fight. In the child’s fantasy world the hardness and the
aggressiveness are softened, edited, and the real turns into an endless series
of imaginary facts. Children
make extinct living things, transfiguring their second inner needs and their
wishes. The uniform of the soldier therefore becomes an area on which to
reflect and disguises the fantasies of the child.” Francesca Rorato.

##1 Ante Cristum. “The lives of
new allies are inter-mixed with the nets that the city applies to the
belligerent territory: men who spend their lives away from the sedentary life,
unable to stop in under-currents of the dynamism of the city. New recruits are forced from the frenetic pace
to give up the security of their home nest, but these ascetics of daily life,
and points of reference do not deal with the caravan routes or steep slopes;
the orientation is not a matter of recognizing and stars in the skies, but to
survive the artificial pace, and find answers to all the needs of convenience
and to the case in point.” Alessandro Marinello.

(Hons) in Fashion Design - University IAUV of Venice – Dejan Kovacevic - I don't Believe.
“The collection is a fictional story about a little
Disney princess called Virgin Mary. It's a very old story written in an old
book named Holy Bible, which your grandmother probably used to read to you. The
princess did all sorts of crazy things: one day she even got pregnant without
having had an intercourse, and she gave birth to little baby Jesus. She has
been famous ever since. It is not the first fairy tale ever told, but for sure
it's the most popular one. Since our childhood we’ve been forced to believe
that bringing flowers to the Virgin Mary as a sign of our faith will wash away
all our sins, that we should show her respect and glorify her existence. Well,
she doesn't exist, fairy tales don't come true, there is no happy ending: so
f*ck fairytales and, Mom, don't make me wear a little Disney princess dress
ever again!” Dejan Kovacevic.

Murer – Kaleidoscope. “Transformation. Change. The difference of being and
of appearing. A project that starts from
the study of how in a kaleidoscope, what we see is just a fragment something else.
I developed a collection of accessories that change. Bags that change shapes
and shoes that change height. The classic colors of black, white and gold are
played down by details in fluorescent colors. I also used soccer cleats on the moccasins
and court shoes.” Frederica Murer.

MXMXCI. A womenswear collection of twelve silhouettes. “The mixing of personal
obsessions emerges in the collection where the “wheel” prevails in the
construction of every garment. Volumes,
sometimes trivial, but with the up most attention given to their every detail as
the fabric cut on the bias. The presence
of invisible zips holds together extremely long pieces of fabric or knit, of
exaggerated proportions, portraying geometric cuts. Sophisticated styling, with strong theatrical
on-stage presentation makes the headphones from the nuns like that of a
muzzle-collier, undermining the role of their veils.” Manuel Scapin.

Quadretti di Quinta. "Menswear and womenswear collection centered around three
core principles. First: The construction
of the garments is based on the use of a double gatefold fabric. The fabric is gaunt,
dissected and discarded following the directions of the straight grain and
bias, to structure-pockets, construction details and reinforcements. Second: The pattern’s outlines are
spiral. The overlapping of multiple
fabric layers creates graphic patterns on the guidelines of the straight
grain. Planar spirals intersect creating
asymmetrical volumes, while straight lines appear as spirals on the physical
garment. Third: Garments of tubular knit
are modeled around the body’s anatomy through the expansion of the yarn
tension. The compensating effects allow
the manipulation of a fit molded to the body shape and a better manipulation of
the fit." Niccolo Magrelli.
