NABA | "Don't ask me why" Fashion Design Projects

The Fashion Design projects realized by the students of the NABA Master of Arts in Fashion and Textile Design during the academic year 2020/2021 were presented during Altaroma 2022. Whenever a collection is launched, everybody around tries to identify its source of inspiration. Yet actually, shapes, colours and materials are the natural or necessary outcome of a number of conceptual, sensory, or emotional choices that, like yarn, are woven into a brand new fabric. Even more so when collections are developed in a school, where no market or production constraints can force inevitable choices. There is no reason why, or - at least - not an obvious and univocal reason. Sometimes it encompasses a whole life, sometimes it has no foundation at all - instead, it can be a sudden burst of emotions. The essential is for every student to be able to identify with their tale and be ready to write a new chapter or move on to a new story.
