CAIRA DESIGN / www.cairadesign.com
Caira Design collection, belonging to the Repurposed and Recycled category, is designed
by Francesca Caira, fashion stylist who transforms old clothes and fabrics into new
creations. Details, fabrics and vintage shapes are re-designed following couture procedures
which characterize the exclusive Unique line, consisting of only unique items. A man’s jacket
becomes a skirt, a shirt becomes a top, a waistcoat becomes a kimono-jacket. Light and
natural colours combine with intense and deep hues which enhance the perfect balance
between purity and sophistication. Comfortable and functional shapes inspired by Oriental
values gain movement through folds, drapes and asymmetries which endow the summer
collection with an overall feeling of fluidity and lightness.
G.O.D.D. / www.godd-design.com
The G.O.D.D. (Garden of Denim Design) collection, in the Naturals & Organics category,
is born from the eco-chic idea of the Design Factory team, fashion design studio based in
Istanbul. A line consisting of both vintage inspired creations and exclusive interpretations of
denim which blend contemporary comfort with a highly fashion-oriented style. Tops, vests
and t-shirt dresses are characterized by graphic prints, worn-out effects and sensual cuts
created with the addition of recycled material such as seatbelts. Denim is the absolute
protagonist and it is exalted by washing and innovative treatments, which give a worn-out,
rubbed and vintage aspect to multi-fit trousers, balloon dresses and shirts lined with ruches
and flounces on the front and sleeves.
JUSTE UN SAC / www.justeunsac.com

functional models, for both day and evening show true Italian craftsmanship and range from

leather handle.
MORI-MONDO / www.mori-mondo.com

garments giving them a second life through a unique restyling. The creations are tailored
(also upon request) according to the fabric and the colours of the recycled garments.
Blazers, shirts, waist coats, tracksuits, shorts and t-shirts reveal their two-fold soul through
creative and fancy styles inspired by contemporary taste and high quality handmade
items. It’s a new fashion process called “Fabric Surgery”, because fabrics are literally
‘operated’ by adding original decorations, transformed with sartorial cuts, tanned and
enriched with random prints which range from urban spirit to a vintage touch with a casualstreet
wear confidence typical of the modern wardrobe.
RIANNE DE WITTE / www.riannedewitte.nl

Organics category, characterised by the use of pure and innovative materials. By following
the “slow fashion” philosophy, she creates refined and minimal style clothes which last

YOSHIKI HISHINUMA / www.yoshikihishinuma.co.jp
The collection of the Japanese stylist Yoshiki Hishinuma, in the Naturals & Organics
category, has organic cotton as its main fabric: an absolutely white canvas or dyed with the
colours of flowers and plants such as Gardenias, Irises and Cherry Blossoms. Shapes are
clear and minimal; the design is conceptual, as natural as straight or wavy surfaces moved
by gatherings and very light pleats. True sensations are transformed into essential and
versatile clothes to be worn in different ways. They are not fashion uniforms but aesthetic
expressions of our moods.
They are intimate, discreet, luxurious, not only owing to the noble fabrics but also for their
durability and contemporary dynamic nature where quality and emotion load up with
memories, places and timeless atmospheres.
COSI NERO QUASI BLUE / www.cosineroquasiblue.com
The “capsule collection” that launched the ‘Così nero quasi blue’ line (So black it’s almost
blue), designed by Federica Martin Wedard, reflects an extremely refined and versatile
creative vision, where women’s elegance codes are based on the most exclusive contrasts.
Tradition and avant-garde, technique and evolution, purity and colour. A code expressed in the
brand’s name: in the same way that the most beautiful black can possess imperceptible blue
shades, the designer creates primary clothes, symbols of a refined and independent style
which offers the wearer an alluring aura of something unseen.
Beyond the surface, contemporary femininity is brought out by the perfect balance between
sartorial taste and design innovation, exalted by the use of organic fabrics which express the
endless potentials of sustainable materials. These fibres are treated and processed to become
light, breathable and hyper-comfortable: Biosatin, Biodenim, Bamboo linen, Shatul (a mix of
silk and hemp with a pearly effect) and Farfara (a jersey obtained from a crab shell fibre).
REGGIANI / www.reggianistretch.com

exclusive project, born from Italian know-how, where sartorial craftsmanship, cuttingedge
fabrics and colours create the new codes of modern style. The revolutionary
prêt-à-porter line proposes clothes made of natural materials with a body-modelling fit
and highly elastic qualities based on the concept of elegance in movement. The
garments enhance the body’s form through a new wearability.
Dedicated to the refined and independent character of contemporary women, the
collections consist of models with timeless and pure forms decorated by small fans,
curls and sensual flounces. Besides the extraordinary body-modelling techniques and
the delicate ‘modern retro’ taste, Elena Reggiani’s creative vision chooses the colour
as the new aesthetic and stylistic guide, unveiling a palette of vibrant and
sophisticated colours.
