Reinterpretation of the dress of a 15th century Venetian woman by Syna Chen for ITS 2020 FVG project

The ITS 2020 FVG project used creativity to highlight the excellence of the manufacturing capabilities of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Italy. Syna Chen, ITS 2020 finalist, was challenged to conceive a reinterpretation of the dress of a 15th century Venetian woman by Syna Chen. Syna Chen is a Chinese-born designer who sees fashion as a cultural translator and clothing as a universal language. She believes that clothing can communicate with any culture, even extraterrestrial and alien cultures. Syna was selected for the fashion contest of ITS 2020 with her collection "Operation Europa" She developed – not without a pinch of irony – a political fashion collection for aliens visiting the Earth, creating inflatable clothing for a future political utopia. The collection takes place on Europa, bringing together inflatable technology and an imaginary vision of alien and human cultures. The collection shows her interest in breaking the boundaries between traditional fashion design and other fields, constantly challenging the possibilities. Nowadays we are rapidly moving towards a world where advanced technologies intertwine with what we wear and what we do in our everyday life. The ITS FVG project is a first step towards an open future where creativity is foreseeing new paths for technology to evolve.
