INSPIRATION
... a reflection of the need to disconnect, facing a surreal introspective journey.
Contemplation as an object of relaxation. Walking barefoot on the ground we live in and giving importance to even the slightest sensation perceived through our senses. Touching raw materials, handcrafted without too much precision. A thought aimed at removing the superfluous; to free oneself and let the oxygen circulate our minds, that are filled with more and more information. ''Pruning the deadwood'' of a society that is now idealised in terms of production speed and stress.
The aesthetic recalls minimalism with details inspired by buddhist zen monks and the 1960’s Space Age, citing the aesthetic of Pierre Cardin. artists such as Robert Morris in regards of essentiality and Franco Vaccari for the concept of surrealist and dreamlike imaginary. The materials utilized are washed out and of grainy texture, while shapes are comfortable and enveloping. The colors remind us of the 70s, giving life to a future vision of a nostalgic era, in search of an essential elsewhere.

DETAIL
Knitwear experimentations.
My thought was to create knitwear by weaving thai ropes with thin mohair wool yarn; creating a strong contrast between synthetic and natural materials. It was very interesting to play around with different knitting techniques and yarn combinations; trying to find the most captivating texture. There are certain values that are communicated through the process of elaborating these experimentations, such as respect for tradition and craftsmanship, but with an innovative and contemporary vision.
Thank you for watching.
