If it is natural to think of clothes or of a design object as the reflection of the needs of people and of society, “Looking for Designers” aims at giving fabric the same value. The theme proposed to the students was nomadism: a very contemporary subject, a cultural factor and a necessity that needs to be faced. From this common starting point, the students developed an experimental collection composed of 5 different fabrics: printed fabrics, velvet, wool, linen.
