Focus on: Talents
January, from 8 to 11
Villa Favard
Via Curtatone, 1
Florence
A week full of events at Villa Favard, and in and around the city
Talent and Fashion Culture are the keys to the next POLIMODA FASHION WEEK, which takes place from January 8 to 11, 2013 during Pitti Uomo 83.
The protagonists of this edition are two POLIMODATALENTS: Erïk Bjerkesjö, who recently won Who Is On Next?/Pitti Uomo will feature a site-specific performance of his latest collection, and Yojiro Kake, who will offer an installation of his stylistic vision.
These two young talents chose to present their creations at Polimoda in the beautiful Villa Favard, where they trained and were inspired.
In addition, Yojiro Kake will also participate with the students of the Fashion Technology Masters course in a project called MacroMonster & MicroMusic, commissioned by Alcantara and created by Felice Limosani, where the endless creative possibilities of this material can be explored.
POLIMODA FASHION WEEK will continue in the name of fashion culture and image.
Among the events not to be missed is the presentation and “Book Signing” of Scott Schuman’s latest book “The Sartorialist – Closer”.
A tribute to books and passion for reading – as well as being the theme of Pitti Uomo 83 – is also the concept of the fourth edition of the Florence&Fashion, an event by RCS Mediagroup that during Pitti Uomo will set up a large installation in Piazza della Repubblica , open for the entire week.
Don’t miss “POLIMODA LIBRARY OUTSIDE THE WALLS" from January 9 to 13, 2013. "A book selection for Capolavori da leggere (Reading masterpieces)_ Temporary Fashion Library”.
Finally, an appointment with Filep Motwary, costume designer, photographer and blogger, who during the Polimoda Fashion Week will be interviewing top designers and opinion leaders as well as Polimoda teachers and students with a video format of Q&A to trigger a reflection on how the values of the creativity of the past are associated with those of the present.
Look forward to seeing you there!
