We showed you the images from the backstage of the Marangoni Playlist fashion show, the year-end competition in which the best projects of the most prestigious fashion school in Milan are presented. The live performance of Chadia Rodriguez accompanied the 60 looks created by the 10 finalists, divided into 3 Menswear and 7 Womenswear proposals. The clothes took inspiration from the concepts of functionalism, from the typical costumes of Southern Italy and Japan, but also from Futurist literature and the figure of the early 20th-century Italian bohemian artists.
A party in which the efforts and the breath of freshness of the new creatives are rewarded, a way to revive fashion in an act of avant-garde and pure experimentation.
The international DNA of the Marangoni Institute, which today has offices spread all over the world (Milan, Florence, Paris, London, Shanghai, Shenzen, Mumbai and Miami), is also confirmed on the last show, in which have challenged students from Italy, China, Japan, Russia and Brazil.
Let's take a look at the faces of the 10 finalists, including the concept fashion and the color contrasts of Pietro Fadda, awarded as the Best Designer of the Year.
“My collection is inspired by the artistic avant-gardes of the 70s. Fashion must be multifunctional and versatile. Dressing is not a passive act but a sharing of ideas.”
