THIS IS THE FUTURE

Forme spaziali?.. Forse, ma soprattutto, materiali biologici!
Spatial shapes?..,Perhaps,but above all, biological materials!

To a sugary green tea solution we add a mixed culture of bacterial cellulose, yeasts and other microorganisms to produce a flexible cellulose mat. The bacteria feed on the sugar and spin fine threads of cellulose. As these start to stick together they form a skin on the liquids surface. After two to three weeks, when it is approximately 1.5cm thick, we remove the cellulose skin from the growth bath. We can then either use it wet to mold onto a 3D form, like a dress shape, or dry it flat and then cut and sew it into a garment.We can readily dye and print on the material and since it requires far less dye than other fibres it has a huge environmental advantage”

BACK AND FORWARD
 
Le incredibili evoluzioni della moda e del costume nel '900
The marvellous evolution in fashion and habits of the '900

i primi stilisti
Poiret libera le donne dal corsetto
Il taglio di sbieco di Vionnet
I tessuti "poveri"  e le linee austere di Chanel
il new look di Dior
Lo stile futurista negli anni '60
Gli hippy e il Punk
IL Prêt-à-porter 
le catene dell'abbigliamento



....un rapido processo di democratizzazione della Moda fino al 2000. E poi?

Ciò che caratterizza la prima decade del millennio non sono quindi abiti spaziali o acconciature assurde con lampadine fra i capelli, ma a mio parere è da evidenziare la rivisitazione e il ricorso a mode passate attraverso il riadattamento di vecchi abiti ......



the earlies fashion-designers
Poiret sets women free from corset
Vionnet's bias cut
Chanel's "poor" fabrics and austerity
The new look by Dior
The futuristic style of Sixties
Hippie and punk styles
Prêt-à-porter
Clothing Retailers



...the fast democratization in Fashion 'till Y2K. And than?
What customizes the early decade isn't spatial shapes  dresses or strange hairstyles with light in the hair, but it's important to remark renewing of old fashions reusing old clothes ..
