Dreamers Torino – credits Stefania Bonatelli A 24-hour manual work that allows the creation of a three-dimensional dress and ‘memory form’, which incorporates the original shape even after being folded or washed. ‘Abiti con passaporto’ showcased the garments and their DNA, from the origins of the fabric to the production techniques up to the history of the materials used for dyes among the exhibits, the dress with which Tiziano Guardini won the Green Carpet Fashion Award 2017, in cruelty free silk with sequin embroidery created from mussel shells and recycled CDs, and that of Matteo Thiela, created ad hoc for Dreamers with yarns of Tessitura Ubertino, to which Thiela has applied a particular weaving technique called Bombyx, which he patented. Here, then, Dreamers showcased the ‘ Forests for Fashion – Fashion for Forests‘ project, with the short film ‘Made in Forest’ which presents the creation of a sustainable dress designed by Tiziano Guardini and with the exhibition of three dresses designed by Flavia La Rocca, Silvia Giovanardi and Silvio Betterelli, together with sketches and moodboards showing the process of designing and producing the garments themselves. The theme of the 2018 edition was dealt with through the testimonies of eco-couture designers, entrepreneurs, critics, independent ateliers, universities and companies, Italian and international movements, all aimed at generating an exchange of ideas and methodologies useful for increasing our knowledge in the sustainable fashion sector and to direct us towards more conscious behaviors. So here are the talks intended for listening and sharing projects and different points of view, workshops for adults, kids and children led by exceptional tutors, exhibition paths and performances, the fair that presented a selection of 44 slow brands, among ateliers, fashion designers and collectives, all protagonists of a new vision of fashion made in Italy, proposed in limited editions and unique pieces. Therefore the fair develops through a complex path, because this is the world of sustainable fashion, a world in which the beauty of the creations of eco-designers and self-productions, made of research, experimentation and innovation, are flanked by urgent and dramatic themes and situations, such as environmental pollution, labor exploitation, waste and many other thorny issues. Dreamers Torino - credits Stefania Bonatelliĭuring the Contemporary Art Week in Turin from November 1 to 4, the third edition of Dreamers Turin, a fair dedicated to independent fashion, was held in the spaces of Toolbox, focusing this year on sustainability through the Re-wear theme, identifying the combination of ethics and aesthetics as a common denominator.ĭreamers Torino – credits Stefania Bonatelliīarbara Casalaspro and Ludovica Gallo Orsi, creators and curators of the fair, explain that the motivations behind the choice of the theme are linked to the fact that we have learned to reflect for example on the food we consume but rarely we think about the clothes we wear, the materials of which they are composed, who produces them, in short, about the entire supply chain that leads to the creation and sale of a garment.
