Fattore Campo
BA - MA Graduation Show – Backstage –
FROW
Appropriately, in World Cup year, the BA and MA Graduation Show of the Fashion/Design
department of IUAV University of Venice,
which marks the end of the academic year, was entitled, Fattore Campo – field factor - and held in the Campetto di Calcio on the Faculty
of Architectures’ campus. The fashion show featured the
best collections of clothes and accessories by the graduating students from
both programs and was coordinated by designers Arthur Arbesser, Veronika
Allmayer-Beck and Fabio Quaranta, and the show was art directed by Mario
Lupano and Cristina Zamagni.
“In sport, the expression "field factor"
indicates the advantage
enjoyed by an athlete or a team playing in a favorable
field. Playing at home, they say, with the audience on your side. According to
statistics, is a privilege that increases the chances of winning. This year,
for Fashion at IUAV, we professors and
students of the degree courses in fashion present the best final collections in
a new situation suggested by the dean Alberto Ferlenga, in the football field
belonging to our university, contiguous to the factory of the Cotonificio,but
shared with the Santa Marta district, which manages it.
It is a space
that we have chosen to reactivate because, symbolically,
it is a place of comparison, where we need talent but also preparation,
discipline, concentration and the ability to always play in the team. Important
skills, today more than ever,are necessary to face a complex and competitive
world of work, with defeats and disappointments to be tackled head on. We know
well, however, and this is taught by football, that downfalls, are very often
useful for sensational come backs and resounding victories.”

“An exercise of creative
composting:
the collection is born from the bottom and requires
the sensibility of the scavenger, that feeds on matter decomposing.
Rejection is the place where experimentation
is not scary, where there is no loss or error.
Creating with mass waste is an attempt
to imagine new forms and develop new ways
to be in the world.”

La Grande Madre
“A continuous reference to motherhood as an act of creation, transformed
from art to source inspiring. An
exhibition, The Great Mother by Massimiliano Gioni. The social role of the woman, between
tradition and emancipation, between nature and individual commitment. The collection brings together the idea of
Italianity and that of motherhood and reflects the figure of the mother as a
metaphor for all that nourishes and protects us and at the same time suffocates
and represses us.”

Dualism, multiple-identity, hybridity:

the defects become refined details, the prints reveal their own fake side with trompe-l'oeil.

Zer-041
“Zer-041 reactivates the tradition of Italian sportswear
of the eighties and brands like Stone Island and C.P. Company.
The collection contains techno fabric clothes
and proposes aggressive silhouettes with
modular and transformable parts, a one sort of ideal combat uniform
to survive rampart tourism. Venice is the design starting point, visible
in the details of the garments with shapes inspired by the forcole,
and in the reinterpretation of acqua alta jumpsuits.”
