It’ s a successful evidence of will of doing the things, acting and creating something from zero. Beyond the selection of brands joining high-end materials, craftsmanship and a catchy design, I really appreciated the setting of tradeshow event’s pavilion, it has been refined and comfortable and added a further value to the experience of visiting it. This new container of events – born also to promote and showcase, fashion, design and its culture -, has many potentialities and it is connected to that necessary phenomenon of redefinition of tradeshow concept as event to present, communicate and sell fashion which is already work in progress.

Minext, Weeks in fashion, evento fieristico milanese di moda dedicato al lusso e agli accessori ideato da Francesco Saldarini, in collaborazione con la Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, l’ Enel, il Comune di Milano e Patricia Lerat si è tenuto in concomitanza con la Milan Fashion Week presso Piazza Gae Aulenti ed è stata una felice esperienza. L’ evento era incentrato sugli accessori e ha incluso anche una formidabile esposizione di creatività emergente, sostenuta dalla Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. Giovani talenti come Lucia Russo aka L. Rousseau che ha presentato “Urban Cut-up”, la collezione capsule autunno/inverno 2014-2015 capsule da lei realizzata, in cui la tecnica burroughsiana del cut-up trova un nuovo contesto nella moda e unisce differenti elementi, architetture urbane e mondo della natura, forme, materiali e colori, racchiusi in fantastiche stampe che sono un leitmotiv del suo lavoro.

Una felice dimostrazione della volontà di fare le cose, agire e creare qualcosa da zero. Oltre alla selezione di marchi che uniscono materiali di alta qualità, artigianalità e un design accattivante, ho apprezzato molto l’ allestimento del padiglione dell’ evento fieristico, raffinato e confortevole, aggiungeva un ulteriore valore all’ esperienza di visitarlo. Questo nuovo contenitore di eventi – nato anche per promuovere ed esporre la moda, il design e la sua cultura – , ha molteplici potenzialità ed è legato a quel necessitato fenomeno di ridefinizione del concetto di fiera quale evento per presentare, comunicare e vendere la moda che è già in corso d’ opera.
