One day one guy came from nothing saying: . I was like: what? Probably meaning lgbtq+ women. We were waiting the bus to bring us back home, we used to say many strong thoughts or very light ones, like imagining a delightful get-together on a milan terrace. He kept explaining that individuals assigned female at birth not only contend with the broader issue of gender discrimination but also, specifically in italy, any departure from traditional femininity is often met with derogatory labels like “shitty lesbian.” And other than that - in italy explicitly - the visualization of a less feminine woman is often seen as a “shitty lesbian”, addressing this derogatory label as being a gay woman is an horrible guilt. Embracing a self-expression that leans toward a more masculine presentation, be it in appearance - behavior - or overall demeanor, can be a powerful way to challenge these stereotypes. In a society where the expectation for women is to embody the perfect feminine image in all circumstances, any departure from traditional imaginary will sound stronger than any common man you would find everywhere. This guy is a friend from milano, who has personally confronted discrimination due to their sexual orientation, offered a compassionate perspective that left a lasting impact on me. These quotations provide insights into the nature of adversity, struggle, and challenges, underscoring the notion that all battles, regardless of their specific nature, can be equally demanding and transformative. In the broader spectrum of diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei), each of us finds a place. I sought inspiration from a specific segment of society and turned it into an open language that screams inclusion in a very simple way. It’s encouraging to witness more and more businesses recognizing the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in shaping workplace culture and the hiring process. Today, diversity encompasses a wide array of aspects, including race, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, and other marginalized identities.

MANIFESTO - DOGMA 22 “I am Tempo” excavates personal thoughts about the new human desires in today’s society. Time is the recent product of the updated rich. They don’t care about your appearance, properties or car. Until your uniform fits your necessity, you are tempo. Implanting time on clothes is a process that involves tech archive, anthropology wearnes, and utility design. I retain a strong semiotic consideration of the materials involved in the construction of new garments, they may say about a potential wearer, user or inhabitant. Your organic body is present with you, through time - what does it wear creates a dialog between you and our environment >”worn by who choose them, never with an imposition”

Starting from an investigation of Ann Demeulemeester, suddenly historical periods, artists and instinctive draws come out on a summer night. I begin collecting them, giving a sense that is in my mind. On the debut of the ‘97. The braids coming out from the messy hair look like natural accessories of the collection, can be repurposed as hair jewelry connected with a spiral hair-spin, strong and delicate closure as the Batavian tears. The music schemes of Iannis Yenakis, reworked - the structure of the silhouettes or as the cuts of pence. Chronophotograph of Iannis Yenakis and Adam Broomberg are inspos for the use of layers of materials: overlay of transparency in fabrics. The apron (cocoon of the artist), the male power jacket, the white shirt’s collar and wristband “in career”, the knitted suits with bones padding, the gloves and the hat of the wives in funerals in the XVIII century.

COLLABORATION PROJECT 2 0 20 Future / Lab was born thanks to the pro eco-sustainability contest, launched by Fulgar in collaboration with luxury textile companies. Each student of ten has been selected in the school, had to interact with the different materials proposed, designing and creating an appropriate outfit. Within the project you can find: recycled nylon, biodegradable or derived from more natural sources. The proposed materials are different alternatives to the conventional and impactful textile solutions present in the fashion system. We also collaborated with Lampo to obtain the new biodegradable zippers and Framis for customized pressure prints. For some time, fashion has been renewed by proceeding backwards, however, between the revival of past styles and trends, a new need is added: create according to the environment. In order to continue to do so without tragic repercussions, the new designer returns to be the one who combines aesthetics with utility. Q-NOVA®: it is an eco-sustainable fiber. The company’s production process reduces CO2 emissions and consumption of water resources. Q-NOVA® is obtained from regenerated raw materials through a mechanical process that does not involve the use of chemical materials, without compromising the sustainability of the final product.

“THE GOBLIN CUPID”, my latest collection of garments and accessories evolved from a textile research. Everything starts with my usual freudian cliché at 4AM. A nightmare, or a dream, is my medium to achieve elaborated acknowledge collected during day time. My augmented mind-cloud reality: - Researches of humans at the end of the story are translated in loops of late-Anthropocene clouds; - Forgotten ancient tailoring with gorp core fabrics; - Under pressure of “what is innovative” I see thousand doors and keys matching locks. Walking through wet woods. Filtered breath. “This is perfect for my hoard!” The Goblin Cupid is the main character of the dream. A composed title: the aesthetic of the goblin-core and the love of the Cupid. In this movement you usually collect: Keys, carillon, rocks, dead shrooms, shiny objects for your eyes. They celebrate aspects of nature that most individuals would find "ugly" or “dirty". Popular in the LGBTQ+ community, usually found on virtual refuge-spaces or collected and everyday updated in e-cloud-archives. The “NEW MUNDI RIFUGIO”: multiple fragments of personalities, creative refuges of new generations condemned to find a compromise to negative aspects of the “we live in a society.” What is a compromise? A solution that makes you half happy. My compromise to innovation is trying to be more ethical in the use of materials: up-cycled clothes, vintage sources, natural dyeing, tech deadstock fabrics or organic experiments.

The Shroom’s Hoax L’inganno del Fungo The Shroom’s Hoax is the glittering deception that a precious object can contain. A collection of jewels born from a fairy tale: three baba-jagas, a young girl lost in a surreal forest, who collects clues and creates metallic connections between reality and surreality. Every object found abandoned during the Late Anthropocene becomes part of the precious collection of memories. Plants, poisonous shrooms, keys that don’t match locks and knives. The silver of the Witches of the East: wearable, cold and fluid. Coming from recoveries, the old silverware can be an editable story. A little attention to the pre-life and after-life of is synthesized in the use of renovated silver and deadstock nylons.
