NEW TALENT: Nurturing the next generation of fashion talents has become a key initiative for the Italian chamber of fashion, which hosted its Milano Moda Graduate talent scouting competition for the seventh year, this time on the penultimate day of Milan Women’s Fashion Week.
Accademia Costume & Moda showed a collections of 15 students (1 for menswear, 6 for womenswear, 1 menswear/womenswear, 3 for Men Leather goods, 1 for Women Leathergoods, 2 for Men/Woman Leather goods, and 1 for Genderless Leather goods) who had the opportunity to collaborate with 39 companies of the Made in Italy for the creation of 15 capsule collections (6 outfits each) that were presented at Altaroma, on Thursday, July 7 at Cinecittà Studios.
There were collections telling about the personal scenario of individual students, ideas and stories, garments that start from a careful research, both cultural and individual, from an experimentation in fabrics and materials. The work and the design were characterized also by acquired technical and design skills of young students

A small diary containing love stories, distant, projected memories that come back to life after a long hibernation. Music, with its sweet sound, melts the glaciers of the heart and as in a spring everything blooms and faces become clear again. The images contained in the small notebook serve to crystallize forever those emotions that catapult us far away, to primitive Sardinia: with its folk costumes, rich in details and volumes that structure the entire collection. Only the photographs and some written dedications testify to that youthful love, which has now faded. Bucchi Fabrizio’s work becomes part of the looks by wrapping them, like a blanket or a metaphorical hug, because death has forever separated a grandfather from his grandson. And between the pages, between those lines, there remains the black, of absence, of emptiness, of pain that tries to erase like a stain of ink, all that is beautiful that has been written.
But love can awaken us again and make us remember “always the hours” spent together.
To love. To love us.

“GACHO” is inspired by the film “Gummo”. Through the eyes of a rabbit-boy, director Harmony Korine describes the life of Xenia, a small town in the American province turned upside down by a hurricane; showing these degraded and grotesque environments. The project follows an imaginary journey of this boy-rabbit. In setting off on a motorcycle to discover his origins, he brings with him his childhood as a cholo, a mixed culture of Mexican-American gangsters. In his travels he rediscovers the rebozo, a large native Mexican shawl, used by his mother in all circumstances of life and the photographs by Malick Sidibé that portray the extravagant youth of his father in Mali in the 70s. The story is translated into a mix of racing suits elements with strongly 70’s shapes and volumes gathered together by rebozos that weld together a composite image. Male wools recovered from warehouse inventories, all starting in black and white, are dyed and embroidered to give it a new character, enhancing the existing design and creating a new one. The racing suits recovered in collaboration with Alpinestars are disassembled and re-assembled to transform a specifically technical product into a product that can be worn every day.
