Milan Design Week 2023 – Circolare Exhibition, at Isola Design Festival

Work presented – handDress in becoming

Exploration of the tensions between experimental garments and responsible behaviour in the context of an accelerating ephemeral fashion. The gesture of a making/doing hand and the accumulated textile waste are considered to seek the reconciliation of eco-responsibility and the expression of emotion.

J’explore les tensions entre création vestimentaire et conduite responsable dans le contexte d’une mode de plus en plus éphémère. Le geste du faire de la main et le gaspillage des textiles accumulés incitent à concilier l’écoresponsabilité et l’expression de l’émotion.

Work presented – circular3dDress

Emotion is driving this zero-waste cut dress. In the shape of a hand, the wearer is poetically wrapped in a dress that attempts to be eco-responsible. Fascinated by handmade work, I was inspired to create a slow-evolving dress that explores the enduring importance of knowledge of handwork.

L’émotion est le leitmotiv de cette robe coupée sans gaspillage textile. Dans la forme d’une main, la robe enveloppe poétiquement le corps tout en tentant d’être écoresponsable. Fascinée par le travail fait-main, j’ai créé une robe en devenir à un rythme que seule la réflexion peut faire ralentir.

On-site at Circolare, April 18th to 23rd, 2023
