A catwalk that wants to establish itself as a hymn to body positivity, a praise of imperfect beauty that seeks full freedom through the renunciation of labels. The students after a three-year educational path. show their know-how through craftsmanship aimed at overturning the canons of the sartorial discipline e, metaphorically, a reversal of the rules that wants to assert itself as a manifesto
of imperfection.
“A manifesto of imperfection that does not transcend beauty - he comments Paola Pattacini, coordinator of the IED Rome Fashion School -. High tailoring is the setting for the insubordinate flair of our designers,
that through craftsmanship and embroidery maintain a strong link with the traditions of the territory, while aware of their creative freedom, that finds full nourishment in a city like Rome“.
Ten capsule collections presented at Altaroma, accompanied by three collections of accessories and two of jewelry. Tra queste, Bodyparts by Gianluca Zumbolo, collection that investigates the body and its change over time, than with padding, upcycling and point of view enhances an ever-changing beauty that challenges stereotypes and conventions.
