Through words and images Adele Domini, Caterina Magni e Alexia Sedda talk about their experience and creativity. Three different points of view that describe in first person their projects, their research and experimentation work and the values that inspire their collections. The IED experience has been a valid path to give life their expectations and wishes for the future.
A journey around IED Italia Seats through the concepts of the 8 students who will present their capsule collections:
Maria Bruni – Dritto Filo
Dritto Filo, follows a tale – an idea that connects the handmade with the pattern paper, the mannequin, the fabric, the needle and the thread. A path that focuses the spotlights on two worlds: pattern making and tailoring. From them emerge and develop deep values such as the link between the dress and the person who creates it, a link that through manual dexterity and direct contact with the fabric establishes a deep and indelible identity.
Adele Domini – Object
Objects shape social relationships in contemporary society, influencing meanings, beliefs, and habits. Individual creativity becomes crucial for developing new values and languages, breathing life into objects as indefinite forms to be reinterpreted from diverse perspectives. OBJECT fosters individuality in an increasingly impersonal world, offering novel ways to interact and think. The garments originate from a study of flat, two-dimensional geometric shapes, initially devoid of meaning, with their true value revealed only when worn.
Leonardo Fizialetti – Abitanti
‘Abitanti’ stems from the desire to investigate and narrate the relationship between us and the objects that fill our lives, hold our memories and project pieces of our identity into space, sometimes making us dependent. The collection focuses on the environment of the home, and on the oscillating balance of the relationship with it: emulating the shapes of the elements of the home, from the draperies of curtains to those of clothes resting and piled up on the staircase handrail, to the laundry in drawers waiting to be worn, to an old relative’s shirt stolen from an old wardrobe.
Matteo Gagliano – Circadian Rhythmn
An oneiric collection, a tribute to the nocturnal, to what comes to life when it gets dark, on a journey to “unlikely” places accompanied by the circadian rhythm. Damask and raw sheep’s wool, namely the inside and outside of the pillow, symbol of sleep, come together to create jackets and vests. An ode to the intimacy of bedrooms, to blankets that become clothes, to nocturnal disguises, an opportunity to talk about the elusive and nameless energies of the night, which at the light of dawn vanish into a memory, like a dream.
Caterina Magni – Corpo Vestito
The classicism that crumbles creating new forms in order to bring out the authentic beauty of a liberated body, through clothes that fit the body. The result is the design of clothes that do not constrict the body into unnatural shapes but fit to it. The challenge is to use a non-elastic fabric that already has its own structure: denim. Denim as a new body shape is born from overcoming the classic marble form.
Linda Moro – Natural Phenomena
The project stems from the concept of metamorphosis, which represents the perpetual change present in each of us. The white moth, infact, represents in antiquity the continuous search for a radiant light to follow until the end. This collection is aimed at those who seek not only clothing, but a reflection of their own journey.
Alexia Sedda – Eclissi
The “Eclissi” collection comes to life from a profound reflection on the passage of time, an aesthetic homage to the past and a reflection on our relationship with time and memory. Each garment is designed to enhance the natural shape of the body, eliminating unnecessary details and focusing on minimal cuts and seams. The meeting between fabrics and the softness of the body is the fulcrum of the collection, which expresses a whispered, never exaggerated femininity.
Marco Servedio – 3K
Kitanai (dirty), Kiken (dangerous), Kitsui (demanding). The essence of this workwear collection, but potentially wearable by anyone, stems from the Japanese definition of the worker. 3K uses technical fabrics (Majotech) with high performance capabilities, resistant to abrasion and water, breathable and therefore suitable for all seasons, and with dual protection against weathering. Focusing on innovation and sustainability, thanks to the insertion of batteries and photovoltaic panels at strategic points capable of powering LEDs, the garments self-produce the necessary light, recharging during the day and activating during the night to ensure greater safety and visibility for workers.
