On June 29th from 10, NABA presented in live streaming on its social media the performance that proposed the thirty collections realised by the students of the last year of its BA in Fashion Design, selected by a prominent jury composed by journalists, professionals and companies in “Planet Dresses - The NABA Campus Fashion View 2021”.
The theme “PLANET DRESSES”, proposed by Nicoletta Morozzi, NABA Fashion Design Advisor, was the fil rouge for every student’s project. "Planet Dresses" is a reflection revolving around the need that the planet has to dress in new values, on the planet of fashion and how it has now to adapt to new needs without betraying the positive expectations of beauty and pleasure that clothes bring us. The new languages proposed by the young designers, invited to use the sense of responsibility as a creative tool, have evolved in the direction of having a positive bradyseism effect, which through clothes allows to better experience reality.
Starting from this important reflection the final presentation, promoted by Colomba Leddi, NABA Fashion Design Area Leader and Course Leader of the BA in Fashion Design, and with the Artistic Direction of Paolo Bazzani, Art Director and NABA lecturer, of the collections realised by the students during last Academic Year was created. A real fashion slow show as opposed to “fast food, fast delivery, fast track, fast fashion”. In the words of journalist Daniela Hamaui: «This is how we have spent the last twenty years of this new century, at top speed, chasing after the latest innovations, trends, objects that are practically old just as they hit the market». Over the last year we started thinking slow, craving creativity and awareness, circularity instead of linearity, reuse and recycling rather than disposable.
The non-stop exchange of ideas, skills and expertise has always been the foundation of NABA’s methodology. This year as well, the students of Fashion Styling and Communication specialisation of the BA, under the supervision of Paolo Bazzani, were given the chance of organising the performance, concretely applying the competencies learned during their study path. The same students were also involved, with the coordination of Michele Corradini, NABA lecturer, in the realisation of the graphical and creative content of 2021 edition of the Academy’s annual Magazine, which collects the contents related to the communication of the collections and some of the special projects carried out during the Academic Year.
All the students’ projects and the 2021 Magazine are available at fashionview.naba.it.
“Planet Dresses – The NABA Campus Fashion View 2021” also involved the presenter, podcaster and dj Paola Maugeri that lead the audience throughout the whole performance. It was also enriched by the original music by sound designer Emre Baloglu that created an audio landscape connected to the theme “Planet Dresses”, in a dialogue with the students’ creations, to express how our lives have been changed abruptly and made humanity realise how its welfare depends by their actions.
