Vogue Italia’s director Franca Sozzani, with the support of the Camera della Moda and the ICE (Institute for International Business), inaugurated an exhibition at Milan’s Mudec on September 21, which served as the ideal introduction to the argument of “crafting the future”. The exhibition seeks to establish a dialogue between current artisan makers and new creatives, through a series of exemplary products. The installations are organized into themes, including contemporary jewelry, a new generation of embroidery, applied textile arts, button art, sustainable denim, natural dying, 3D knitting, and bespoke eyewear. The exhibition explores the relationship between technology and traditional artisan practices, revealing the their possibile,ingenious unions, as well as how the next generation of makers are keeping artisan traditions alive. Cangiari textiles makes garments on an ancient Calabrian loom that hosts 1800 threads, articulated by ancient rimes. Aurora Pettinari York attended the last school in London that taught raised embroidery, and continues the art, that requires 100 hours of work to complete a 10-centimeter figure.
