Marrakech Fashion Week
Giovanni Cavagna presented a collection that fully expresses his philosophy. The garments seem to arise from a process of deconstruction, in which each element is broken down and then recomposed with mastery, giving life to new shapes and volumes. This approach not only enhances the designer's creativity, but also offers a new perspective on contemporary fashion, challenging conventions and proposing a new dialogue between tradition and innovation. Cavagna's collection stands out for the skilful use of materials and attention to details. Fine fabrics are transformed through bold cuts and apparent stitching, creating visual and tactile contrasts that capture the eye. Despite the complexity of the techniques used, each garment maintains an elegant simplicity that makes the collection accessible and refined. The volumes play a fundamental role in the collection presented in Marrakech. Asymmetric lines and fluid silhouettes combine to create garments that move with the body, offering a sense of freedom and lightness. This technique perfectly combines avant-garde fashion with one deeply rooted in a minimalist aesthetic.
Tricot-couture 5 Sensi Modena
In the meeting, entitled "Tricot-couture: a journey from Haute Couture to prêt-à-porter", the stylist, to whom the exhibition at the "Luciano Pavarotti" Municipal Theater is dedicated, will talk with the help of projections and videos his experience gained, among other things, in a relationship that began 25 years ago with companies in the Modena and Carpi districts. Born in Bergamo 45 years ago, Giovanni Cavagna is an eclectic stylist who creates his creations by combining innovation with the classic, and the art of beauty with a passion for research into materials and new spinning technologies. From ready-to-wear to Tricot-couture up to 'High Fashion, Giovanni Cavagna emphasizes creativity and emotion, starting from experimentation and research into yarns and shapes. After making his debut in 2004 on the Haute Couture catwalks of Rome, of which he was artistic director until 2008, in 2006, thanks to the avant-garde of his creations, he was awarded the "Divina Giulia" prize as the best emerging Italian designer. Mix of materials, unusual shapes, refinement and research are the characteristics of his work, which arises from a cultural conception of fashion.Since 1996 the stylist has continued his work as a fashion engineer and, alongside research, manages to combine teaching and look designer activities. He is a professor at the University of Venice for knitwear materials and technology and since 2010, the year in which he opened his atelier in the heart of Milan, he has also been the curator and image creator of entertainment personalities, such as Ornella Vanoni and Anna Oxa, with whom he collaborates in the creation of scene concepts.
Per Filo e per Senso Roma
The dominant motif - Per Filo and per Senso - of the July 2007 edition of AltaRomAltamoda unfolds in the subtitle of the event "From the interweaving of destinies, from the fabric of thoughts, the plot of this story made of noble and ancient crafts, of amazement comes to life youth and human passions". It materializes in an original fashion show involving Italian companies of excellence in the yarn field, an established stylist and young students from fashion schools, whom Giovanni Cavagna followed as a tutor in a training course within the companies. Together they created a collection in which the shirt becomes an icon of elegance. Thus knitwear and yarn become couture, acquiring a new dimension: tailoring. “In recent years, no one has ever thought of an haute couture collection entirely dedicated to knitwear. Tricot is always seen as an old, out-of-date accessory. Often linked to the myth and legend of Coco Chanel” declared Giovanni Cavagna. The nobility, the art and the wisdom of the use of thread, the materials, the shapes and the colors are protagonists of a new dimension: tailoring.
