FELL THE YARN 2016 studend: Anniliina Salmi

Here is the last post on the 79th edition of Pitti Filati … were some photos among the most beautiful things in this edition, as the contest Feel the Yarn 2016, MODA FUTURIBILE and “CAOSORDINATO ANYTHING WORKS a modern man’s wardrobe”.

Feel the Yarn promoted by CPF – Consorzio Promozione Filati and Pitti Immagine, it is a competition that values the talents of the most important national and international fashion schools, with the aim of supporting these young creatives enhancing the incredible use of the yarns. This year 26 students selected from 13 prestigious schools, have interpreted the yarn of some of the most important companies in the knitting industry, for the Fall – Winter 2017-18. The result is so creative that every outfit could give rise to three / four separate collections. Here knit is the true queen and the things seen, made by these good students, are really interesting. Pitti Immagine supports the project since the first edition, trying to give light to future generations of designers in knitwear industry, definitely fascinating universe in which sometimes it is difficult to find preparation creative.

Even MODA FUTURIBILE, of which I speak always, is a concept (and project) absolutely innovative. Here fashion is freed from a single sector to become an encompassing research element.

The “conscious choice” is carried out while respecting the principle of sustainability, understood as know-how, traceability, transparency, technology, ethics, experimentation and link with the territory. Moda Futuribile aims to enhance the excellence of the fashion system, who in Italy are endless, developing and presenting on the occasion of specific events a number of artifacts created thanks to design synergies of the partners involved, or companies producing, creative and salons, and which will explore the true aspects of fashion futuristic.

On the occasion of Vintage Selection it was also an’interesting exhibition project “CAOSORDINATO ANYTHING WORKS a modern man’s wardrobe”, a tribute to the hard work of Stephen Chiassai, an important figure in the history of the international menswear, celebrating the release of eponymous book published by Nuova Libra Editrice. The male wardrobe between new and vintage, between day and night, between formal and informal … interesting!

To all these young people to value, respect to the work, I would like to give my sincere “good luck” and advice “never give up”, the difficulties will be endless, but not insurmountable if also depends on you.

Here concludes the 79th edition of Pitti Filati, next appointment will be in January 2017 with the creations for Summer 2018.

Good life to everyone!

Beatrice
