Accademia Factory - The Tree of Creativity, AltaRomAltaModa, Rome

Hi everyone !

Here is another event from AltaRoma, presented this time at the

Accademia di Costume e Moda, on a sunny afternoon in Rome.   

The exhibition was divided into 2 main parts:

 - Clothes and accessories created by the students of the accademy and by former students, now belonging to the alumni.

- Costumes created for different theatre pieces, and are now exposed in the accademy.

The accademy entrance:

In the first room were clothes created by former students,

who now have already created their own fashion labels:

  

  

In the other rooms were displayed pieces created by the students during the year 2011 / 2012.
Clothes were put all along the corridors, while by getting into the rooms you could find accessories and their initial designs on paper:



   

     

    

 

                              

Finally the second part of the exhibition was showing the link between fashion and theatre: many costumes created by the students on different occasions for plays have been gathered through different rooms. Some representing historic fashion (a whole room dedicated only to Pope costumes - very Italian somehow !!), the other ones more modern, more suitable for musicals / ballets.

    

    

My next report will be on the catwalk show of the Fashion School

"Ida Ferri Scuola di Moda" - check it out !

Seven finalists were presenting their collections at Santo Spirito in Sassia on the 7th of July in Rome, in an event organised by Vogue Italia and Alcantara to encourage and discover new talents, as well as promote the quality of fashion "Made In Italy".

Here are the collections that were presented by the designers:

MARCOBOLOGNA by Marco Giugliano and Nicolo Bologna

After creating a jewellry line in 2011, the two young designers started their first

fashion collection with a line of silk T-shirts with jewel macro prints. Their collections

convey a search for excellence and aesthetic balance.

San Andres by Andres Caballero (Milan)

The Neo-Retro collection is inspired by an intellectual woman, who appreciates
quality materials, mixing respectability and impertinence.
