During the latest international fashion weeks we assisted to exhibitions, fashion shows and new talents debuts.

Starting in January with LVMH prize held in LVMH Foundation in Paris, the competition for cash and mentorship from the French luxury giant that is now in its second year.

Last June Florence and Milan showed new emerging fashion designers. They showed their collections in many events, gathered by the online new fashion brands aggregator Not Just A Label and presented during the 8th edition of “Who is on next Uomo” in Florence. Milan, instead, celebrated those who has already gained popularity in fashion environment during the last seasons.

Hard work, dedication, madness, creativity and a little bit of luck are the ingredients to break out. Inspired by historical costume, contemporary art lovers or going mad for new look, these young fashion designers demonstrate their creative abilities playing with volumes, colors and materials. They communicate without words, trying to make their dream become real.

RIMINI 1

The workshop “From Fashion Research to Digital Timeline” curated by Cecilia Cestari and Alessia Zucca, part of ZoneModa Fashion and Creativity Summerschool 2015 took place from the 16th to the 18th of June in Rimini, Italy.

Aiming to show how web media and technology can transform the research and cataloguing of fashion objects in a moment of creativity, graphic experimentation, and new communication strategies, the workshop focused on the history of 20th century fashion. The three days of workshop overviewed both online and offline research methods, also visiting the “Archivi di Ricerca Mazzini” to get to know garments, details and trends of the different decades of the century.

During the final session of this rich and exciting program Alessandra Arezzi Boza, communication Director for Europeana Fashion presented the results achieved in all the Project related activities, with a huge quote of its successful communication strategy and on creative re-use of fashion contents, while introducing for the first time the future goals of the newborn Europeana Fashion International Association (EFIA).

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” said Marilyn Monroe.

Shoes play an important role in common imagery: they talk about the wearer’s social role and attitudes. They also rouse people fancy as an object of desire, a symbol of power and feminine seduction. Fairy tales and folklore talks about shoes as a magic object with special qualities in fast travelling or social climbing, as we learned from Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz” and in Cinderella’s story.

Ethnic Fashion Curation on Tumblr

Have a look at this month Tumblr curation featuring ethnic and ethnic inspired fashion and costumes from Europeana Fashion Archive!

Fashion always had a fascination with the exotic. It is not only as a source of inspiration, but is a way through the otherness, the foreign. It can be a travel in the Persian inspired world of Paul Poiret’s “Thousand and Second Night” ball, or in the fierce Africa of Yves Saint Laurent’s 1967 collection, or into the frozen Russian-Balkan folklore of John Galliano’s AW 2009/10 show.

Sometimes a synonym of wealth and lush, with its rich embroideries and bright colored details, or that of a dogmatic reverence to a rigid monochromatic spiritualism, ethnic costumes got through the history of fashion and still they are present in nowadays catwalks. It’s never about copying, it’s always about a feeling or a way to see things, which is translated in the designer collection to bring freedom, freshness and a break up with traditional aesthetics.
