Altaroma develops its identity of platform for the emerging creativity and fashion culture. The latest edition has focused on that. Concrete tracks are in many of events, featuring in it. Words and works, clear signs, as the one which has been during the press conference for the Altaroma opening, which has held at the  Rome Colosseum Archeological Park, happening evidencing the commitment of institutions for promoting the culture of country as the contest “Vesti il parco archeologico”( standing as “Dress the archeological park”), an award featuring fashion schools to showcase the young creativity and join an eternal culture, the Rome history, to contemporary times and the new. The winners were the students of Modartech from Pontedera, the Milan NABA and a special award has given to the students of Rome Fashion and Costume Academy. Many were the panelists of talk as the President of Altaroma Silvia Venturini Fendi, who restated the purpose and work of Altaroma, as well as the importance of collaboration between the institutions to give an incisive un contribution. In fact she talks about “a virtuous partnership with the political institutions to pull together the greatest history existing( the one of Rome), to young people working on innovative ideas, respecting the tradition and craftsmanship of made in Italy. To discover, train and promoting new talents who give value to the tradition of made in Italy is our mission. Altaroma is a kind of incubator for young people, both young fashion designers or students. We must keep in mind  our  public shareholding company, Rome wants being the cradle of new, a goal which can get through the unity. Gian Paolo Manzella, representative for the Lazio innovation department, focused on “the issue of relationship between innovation and cultural heritage, as well as the need, in the field of economy, to speak of contamination, as the most innovative societies as the ones that promote the contamination. It’s a word which implies the opening and stratifications, what has been the core of successful talk by the President of Chamber of Commerce Lorenzo Tagliavanti, who marked the importance of culture’s stratification  which has made concrete by an opened society and city like Rome, a value which becomes universal and political, connected also to the migration, as he marked, a thorny subject matter of the current Italian political issues ( I remember the issue of immigrants landing and their many deaths, as they haven’t helped on time), laudable words that evidence the political relevance of culture and a lifestyle focused on the dialogue and opening to the others, what is different and new, which can increase moral and material growth and enrichment in a certain country as the city of Rome, Italy and Europe.

ALTAROMA: LE STRATIFICAZIONI DELLA CULTURA, IL NUOVO E L’ IDENTITÀ DI UNA ISTITUZIONE

Altaroma consolida la sua identità di piattaforma per la creatività emergente e della cultura della moda. La sua ultima edizione è  stata incentrata su questo. Tracce concrete evidenti nei vari eventi che ne sono stati protagonisti. Parole e opere, segni chiari, come quello che ha avuto luogo in occasione della conferenza stampa di apertura, che si è tenuto presso il Parco archeologico del Colosseo di Roma, circostanza che testimonia l’ impegno istituzioni per promuovere la cultura del territorio come il contest “Vesti il parco archeologico”, un concorso aperto alle scuole di moda d’ Italia per esporre la creatività dei giovani e unire una cultura eterna, la storia quella di Roma, alla contemporaneità e al nuovo. Vincitori gli studenti della Modartech di Pontedera, della NABA di Milano e un riconoscimento speciale lo hanno avuto i ragazzi dell’ Accademia di Costume e Moda di Roma. Plurimi i protagonisti del talk tra i quali la Presidente di Altaroma Silvia Venturini Fendi, la quale ha ribadito la finalità e l’ opera di Altaroma, nonché l’ importanza della collaborazione tra le istituzioni per fornire un apporto incisivo. Parla infatti di “una partnership virtuosa con le istituzioni politiche per accostare la storia più grande che c’è(quella di Roma ndr.) ai giovani che lavorano su concetti innovativi, rispettando però la tradizione e l’ artigianalità del made in Italy. Scoprire, formare e promuovere nuovi talenti che valorizzano la tradizione del made in Italy è la nostra mission. Altaroma è una sorta di incubatore per i giovani, siano essi giovani fashion designer o studenti. Dobbiamo tener conto della nostra società pubblica partecipata, Roma vuole essere la culla del nuovo, un obiettivo che si può raggiungere con l’ unità. Gian Paolo Manzella, rappresentante per l’ innovazione per la Regione Lazio si è rivolto sulla “questione del rapporto tra tecnologia e beni culturali, nonché sull’ esigenza, in tema di economia, di parlare di contaminazione, poiché le società più innovative sono quelle che promuovono la contaminazione”. Una parola che presuppone l’ apertura e la stratificazioni, questo, il cuore del felice l’ intervento del Presidente della Camera di Commercio Lorenzo Tagliavanti, il quale ha rimarcato l’ importanza delle stratificazioni della cultura che una società aperta e una città come Roma ha concretizzato, un valore che diventa universale e politico, connesso anche alla migrazione, come  egli ha sottolineato,  tematica spinosa delle recenti vicende politiche italiane (ricordo la questione degli sbarchi dei migranti e delle loro svariate morti, non essendo stati soccorsi in tempo), parole lodevoli che testimoniano la rilevanza politica della cultura e uno stile di vita proteso al dialogo e all’ apertura verso gli altri, il diverso e nuovo, con cui ci può essere crescita e arricchimento morale e materiale nell’ ambito di un determinato territorio, come la città di Roma, l’ Italia e l’ Europa.

ALTAROMA: ROAD TO STYLE, THE HOMAGE TO PASQUALE DE ANTONIS

Lightness, elegance turns into a unique timeless style made of different signs. Uniqueness, craftsmanship, poetry, traditions and contemporary times gives rise to a dialogue under the sign of art of making. These were the main features of a suggestive display for paying homage to the renowned fashion photographer Pasquale De Antonis which featured in Road to Style the event by Altaroma to celebrate the most cutting-edge fashion districts and shopping areas being in the Rome. Via del Pellegrino and via dei Cappellari, placed close to Campo dei Fiori square, hosted this nice event I enjoyed very much. It was a joyful walk I started visiting Choup de Thèâtre, awesome vintage boutique by Mariaelena Massetti Zannini and Sara Vaccari hosting also the creations, unique pieces by smashing fashion designers – as Germana Panunzi about I will talk during the forthcoming days -, a vibrant place to discover where to go and come back talking about visions and elegance as attitude and life-style. Walking I run into the boutique Retropose, the renowned boutique Arsenale by Patrizia Pieroni, making sartorial, minimal creations and Dana, catchy concept store where visual arts and design meets fashion as the wonderful creations by Sylvio Giardina being here available evidence. I also enjoyed to see again after a long time Elisabetta La Monica and discover SoloDue, the brand of womenswear and shoes she created, featuring genuine passé-partout embodying her sign, a timeless elegance successfully joining comfort, incisiveness, sobriety and refinement.

ALTAROMA: ROAD TO STYLE, L’ OMAGGIO A PASQUALE DE ANTONIS

Leggerezza, l’ eleganza si trasforma in uno stile unico, senza tempo, fatto di svariati segni. Unicità artigianalità, poesia, tradizione e contemporaneità danno vita a un dialogo all’ insegna dell’ arte del fare. Questi i principali protagonisti di una suggestiva rassegna che ha reso omaggio al rinomato fotografo di moda Pasquale De Antonis che si è tenuta in occasione di Road to Style, l’ evento di Altaroma che celebra i fashion districts e le zone dello shopping di Roma. Via del Pellegrino e via dei Cappellari, che si trovano nei dintorni di Piazza Campo dei Fiori, hanno ospitato questo simpatico evento da me molto apprezzato. Una gioiosa passeggiata da me cominciata visitando Choup de Thèâtre, fantastica boutique vintage di Mariaelena Massetti Zannini e Sara Vaccari che ospita anche le creazioni, pezzi unici di formidabili fashion designer – come Germana Panunzi di cui parlerò nei giorni a venire – un posto vibrante da scoprire, in cui andare e ritornare che parla di visioni e di eleganza come attitudine e stile di vita. Passeggiando mi sono imbattuta nella boutique Retropose, nella rinomata boutique Arsenale di Patrizia Pieroni, che realizza minimali creazioni sartoriali e Dana, accattivante concept store in cui le arti visive e il design incontrano la moda come testimoniano le meravigliose creazioni di Sylvio Giardina che sono ivi disponibili. Mi ha rallegrato rivedere dopo tanto tempo Elisabetta La Monica e scoprire SoloDue, il marchio di abbigliamento donna e calzature da lei creato, di cui sono protagonisti autentici passé-partout che racchiudono il suo segno, un’ eleganza senza tempo che unisce felicemente comfort, incisività, sobrietà e raffinatezza.

ALTAROMA: FASHION MEETS TECHNOLOGY, “AEQUILIBRIUM” BY JESHEL LAU

The Mexican fashion designer Jehsel Lau presented during the latest edition of Altaroma in the picturesque frame of the Rome Waldensian Church the high fashion collection “Aequilibrium” she made, being under the sign of technology and innovation. The designs are made by using a cloth embodying the technology Ecorepel® and making the garments waterproof. Many are the inspirations of the collections: the Chinese painting of bamboo and bonsai, symmetric cuts and Western silhouettes. It’s a search for a new balance of soul, what the collection talks about, which has made concrete through black and white, metaphor of the ideas meeting with themselves and turns into an entity, arising from this dynamism. The creations have presented by a performance made by young dancers who showed the dresses inside and out, then they dressed up on the stage, wearing every dress like a second skin. The event – promoted by the Mexico Embassy in Italy – featured an ethereal atmosphere, emphasized by the music by Mexican artists as the pianist Joel Juan Qui, the tenor José Manuel Chu, the soprano Jessica Loaiza, the dancers from the Dancing High School of Teramo and the Chorus from the Gregorian School Sacri Montis, giving rise to a suggestive dialogue between art and fashion.

La fashion designer messicana Jehsel Lau ha presentato in occasione dell’ ultima edizione di Altaroma nella pittoresca cornice della Chiesa Valdese di Roma  la collezione haute couture “Aequilibrium” da lei realizzata che è all’ insegna della tecnologia e innovazione. I disegni sono realizzati mediante l’ uso di un tessuto che incorpora la tecnologia Ecorepel® e rende i capi impermeabili. Molteplici sono le ispirazioni della collezione: la pittura cinese del bambù e bonsai, i tagli simmetrici e le silhouette occidentali. É la ricerca di un nuovo equilibrio dell’ anima ciò di cui parla la collezione, che è stato concretizzato dal bianco e nero, metafora delle idee che si incontrano e si trasformano in una nuova entità che nasce da questo dinamismo. Le creazioni sono state presentate da una performance in cui giovani ballerine mostravano la parte esterna e interna degli abiti, poi si vestivano in scena, indossando ogni abito come una seconda pelle. L’ evento – promosso dall’ Ambasciata del Messico in Italia – ha avuto quale protagonista un’ atmosfera eterea, enfatizzata dalle musiche di artisti messicani quali il pianista Joel Juan Qui, il tenore José Manuel Chu, la soprano Jessica Loaiza, le ballerine del Liceo Coreutico di Teramo e il Coro della Scuola Gregoriana Sacri Montis, dando vita a un suggestivo dialogo tra arte e moda.

Structure, romanticism and lightness features in the Spring/Summer 2016 high fashion collection by Luigi Borbone, presented at Rome during Altaroma, inspired by Orlando – the film by Sally Potter, interpreted by the iconic Tilda Swinton – and the myth of Persephone. It’s a successful melting-pot – emphasized by the styling of bright Concetta D’ Angelo – made of transparencies, light sporty-chic references, revisited in a romantic way, lace, silk, enriched by Swarovski crystals, light colors (as green, pink, sugar paper) along with blue and many lines reinterpreting the early Nineties, Fifties, Seventies and Eighties – as it is evidenced by the use of structures from Eighteenth century as the pannier -, pay homage to the silhouette and contemporary elegance.

Struttura, romanticismo e levità sono i protagonisti della collezione haute couture primavera/estate 2016 di Luigi Borbone, presentata a Roma in occasione di Altaroma, che si ispira a Orlando – la pellicola di Sally Potter interpretata dall’ iconica Tilda Swinton – e al mito di Persefone. Un felice melting-pot – enfatizzato dallo styling della brillante Concetta D’ Angelo – fatto di trasparenze, lievi riferimenti sporty-chic, rivisitati in chiave romantica pizzo, seta, arricchita da cristalli Swarovski, colori tenui (quali verde, rosa, carta da zucchero) unitamente al blu e una pluralità di linee che reinterpretano i primi anni del Novecento, gli anni ’50, ’70 e ’80 – come si evince dall’ uso di strutture settecentesche quali il panier -, rendono omaggio alla silhouette ed alla femminilità contemporanea.

ALTAROMA: THE TALENTS 2016 OF ROME COSTUME & FASHION ACADEMY

Experimentation, reinterpretations and innovations, an atmosphere smelling of creativity, those are the main features of Talents 2016, fashion contest of the Rome Costume and Fashion Academy – which was held at the marvelous building of Rome Ex Dogana, place under the sign of industrial, metropolitan suggestions and contemporary times where took place the events curated by Altaroma – which featured the final works by the graduated students of the renowned fashion school headed by Lupo Lanzara and Adrien Yakimov Roberts as director of education, showed behind a jury of experts as Silvia Venturini Fendi (President of Altaroma), Carlo Capasa (President of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion), Laura Lusuardi (Max Mara Creative Director), Leonardo Pucci (Christian Dior) and many others. Ilaria Fiore won this edition, who has also awarded with a special prize for the accessories she made. The bright creative made a capsule collection joining sartorialism and experimentation, combines the cloth with leather, where the accessories or rather bags and belts become a fundamental part of dress (though they are removable). Lightness, minimalism, rebellion against family, father and dialectics of power is what the collection by Deniza Nugnes talks about, who – as she told me days ago, during the fitting of the fashion show which was held at the Costume & Fashion Academy – has inspired by the cultural revolution from 1968 and subverted the male wardrobe, its constructions giving rise to minimal essential garments and successful asymmetries. Many are the ideas on the move drawing new shapes and lines as the sphere becoming the fundamental idea of the collection by Andrea Maria di Salvo where white is the main features, which embodies many theatrical references.

ALTAROMA: I TALENTS 2016 DELL’ ACCADEMIA DI COSTUME & MODA DI ROMA

Sperimentazione, reinterpretazioni e innovazioni, un’ atmosfera che profuma di creatività, questi i principali protagonisti di Talents 2016, il fashion contest dell’ Accademia Costume e Moda di Roma -che si è tenuto nei  meravigliosi spazi dell’ Ex Dogana di Roma, luogo all’ insegna di suggestioni industrial, metropolitane e contemporaneità  in cui hanno avuto luogo gli eventi curati da Altaroma – di cui sono stati protagonisti i final works degli studenti neo-diplomati nella rinomata scuola di moda diretta da Lupo Lanzara e da Adrien Yakimov Roberts nelle vesti di direttore didattico, che sono stati presentati dinanzi a una giuria di esperti quali Silvia Venturini Fendi (Presidente di Altaroma), Carlo Capasa (Presidente della Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana), Laura Lusuardi (Direttore Creativo di Max Mara), Leonardo Pucci (Christian Dior) e molti altri. Vincitrice di questa edizione è Ilaria Fiore, la quale è stata insignita anche di un premio speciale per gli accessori da lei realizzati. La brillante creativa ha creato una collezione capsule che unisce sartorialità e sperimentazione, abbina il tessuto alla pelle, in cui gli accessori ovvero borse e cinture diventano parte integrante dell’ abito (pur essendo rimovibili). Leggerezza, minimalismo e ribellione contro la famiglia e la dialettica del potere è ciò di cui parla la collezione di Deniza Nugnes, la quale -. come mi ha detto giorni fa, durante il fitting della sfilata che si è tenuto all’ Accademia di Costume e Moda – si è ispirata alla rivoluzione culturale del 1968 ed ha sovvertito il guardaroba maschile, le sue costruzioni dando vita a capi minimali e felici asimmetrie. Plurime le idee in movimento che disegnano nuove forme e linee quali la sfera che diventa il concetto fondante della collezione di Andrea Maria di Salvo in cui il bianco è il principale protagonista, la quale racchiude in sé plurimi riferimenti teatrali.

The Goddess features in the Spring/Summer 2016 high fashion collection by Renato Balestra, recently presented during Altaroma. The bright couturier paid homage to the Classical Greece culture and more specifically to the myth Athena, goddess of the arts and wisdom. It’s a tale of elegance under the sign of fluid lines, white along with different shades of orange, pleated cloths, precious details as the golden embroideries, lace, enhancing the silhouette and drawing a solemn and refined femininity.

La dea è la protagonista della collezione haute couture Primavera/Estate 2016 di Renato Balestra, recentemente presentata durante Altaroma. Il brillante couturier ha reso omaggio alla cultura della Grecia classica e più specificamente ad Atena, dea delle arti e della sapienza. Un racconto di eleganza all’ insegna di linee fluide, bianco unitamente a diverse nuances di arancio, tessuti plissettati, dettagli preziosi quali i ricami dorati, pizzo che esaltano la silhouette e disegnano una solenne e sofisticata femminilità.

Artisanal Intelligence (A.I.)”Body for the dress”, a nice showcase under the sign of art, fashion and craftsmanship, curated by Clara Tosi Pamphili and Alessio De’ Navasques  which was held during the Altaroma latest edition at the suggestive buildings of La Dogana – a huge industrial building – which yesterday hosted an ancient railway station, placed in the Rome area of San Lorenzo, the one which has resisted against the German attacks during the Second World War of whose tracks are still impressed in many buildings –  featured the works by visual artists as the bright Sacha Turchi, who made a sculpture evoking the spinal column, the structure of human body. Constructions, clear signs embodying visions as the ones by Giacomo Frasson and Giulia Roman, graduated students from the Fashion Design Faculty of Iuav University of Venice, as well as by Melampo, brand created by Lulù and Anna Poletti, Brighenti – renowned Rome boutique, which made the lingerie for actresses and showgirls – and others who have drawn an artistic path, successfully putting the light on the energies and ideas, featuring in the contemporary times where the new reads again the old to find a way to go, though the destination is still unknown.

Artisanal Intelligence (A.I.)”Body for the dress”, una simpatica rassegna sotto il segno di arte, moda e artigianalità, curata da Clara Tosi Pamphili e Alessio De’ Navasques che si è tenuta in occasione dell’ ultima edizione di Altaroma presso i suggestivi edifici de La Dogana – un enorme costruzione industriale  che ieri ha ospitato un’ antica stazione ferroviaria, ubicata nel quartiere romano di San Lorenzo, quello che ha resistito agli attacchi tedeschi durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, le cui tracce sono tuttora impresse in numerosi palazzi – ed ha avuto quali protagonisti i lavori di artisti come la brillante Sacha Turchi, la quale ha realizzato una scultura che evoca la colonna vertebrale, la struttura del corpo umano. Costruzioni, segni precisi che racchiudono in sé visioni quali quelle di Giacomo Frasson e Giulia Roman, studenti neo-laureati della Facoltà di Fashion Design dell’ Università Iuav di Venezia, come anche Melampo, brand creato da LulùAnna Poletti, Brighenti -rinomata boutique romana di lingerie di lusso, che ha realizzato biancheria intima per attrici e showgirl – ed altri che hanno tracciato un percorso artistico, gettando felicemente luce sulle energie e idee protagoniste della contemporaneità in cui il nuovo rilegge il vecchio per trovare una strada da intraprendere, pur essendo la destinazione ancora ignota.

Emerging creativity and the talent-scouting work started by Altaroma featured in the pre-opening of its Winter edition, developing the successful teaming – started since the last year – with Coin Excelsior, the Rome multi-brand department store, focused on contemporary fashion which hosted the creations of the Who Is On Next talent-scouting award finalists as Catherine de’ Medici 1533, Elena Ghisellini, Giancarlo Petriglia, L72 along with the fashion show of Quattromani. The Fall/Winter 2016-2017 collection by this brand, created by the fashion designers duo formed by Massimo Noli and Nicola Frau, pays homage to the Sardinia suggestions, the ritual of Argia spider, reinterpreting a legend which talks about songs and dances between women – a single, a married and a widow – as remedy to heal from the poisonous bite of spider. A tale under the sign of femininity made of new Seventies volumes caressing the silhouette, short, fluid lines, mohair, wool, “nowind” technical cloth, crêpe and eco-fur. A healthy optimism is embodied in the palette of colors including mustard, red, black, blue as well as pink, azure, camel and white details enriching the garments.

La creatività emergente e l’ opera di talent-scouting avviata da Altaroma è stata protagonista della pre-opening della sua edizione invernale, consolidando la felice collaborazione – iniziata a partire dallo scorso anno – con Coin Excelsior, il department store multi-brand di Roma, dedicato alla moda contemporanea che ha ospitato le creazioni dei finalisti del concorso di talent-scouting Who Is On Next quali Catherine de’ Medici 1533, Elena Ghisellini, Giancarlo Petriglia, L72 unitamente alla sfilata di Quattromani. La collezione autunno/inverno 2016-2017 di questo brand, creata dal duo di fashion designer formato da Massimo Noli e Nicola Frau, rende omaggio a saggestioni sarde, il rituale dell’ argia che reinterpreta una leggenda, la quale parla dei canti e delle danze tra donne – una nubile, una sposata  e una vedova – quale cura per guarire dal morso velenoso del ragno. Un racconto all’ insegna della femminilità fatta di volumi neo-Seventies che carezzano la  silhouette, linee corte e fluide, mohair, lana, tessuto tecnico “nowind”, crêpe e pelliccia ecologica. Un salubre ottimismo è racchiuso nella palette di colori che includono mostarda, rosso, nero, blu, come anche dettagli in rosa, azzurro, cammello e bianco che arricchiscono i capi.
