Francesco Borando

Francesco Borando, the source of inspiration was the style of the author himself, the way he conveys thoughts, ideas and dramas through his films. The idea of my collection is to show the simplicity of forms in clothing, like the everyday life depicted in his works, but with a focus on details, such as people’s physical or psychological problems. The red slits on the trousers, the embroidered eyes and the handmade motifs are symbols of a society that remains mute and silent in the face of the psychological problems that lurk within, to which I have decided to give voice.

Niccolo Zedda

The inspiration for my clothes comes from the famous film La Strada by Federico Fellini. I decided to start from the concept of ‘wandering’, understood as wandering aimlessly, as happens to the two protagonists. From this starting point, I focused my attention on fabrics and the spatial concept they could occupy. I looked for unusual shapes, imperfection, and details that could evoke street life on the one hand, and a philosophy of soft colours on the other.
