Dialoghi di confronto

Internalization is the focus of the collaboration between Filo and the Piedmont Region. In particular, thanks to this partnership, a high-level delegation from Tunisia, led by the Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia to Italy, participated in the 63rd edition of Filo. As part of the “Dialoghi di Confronto”, the opportunities for companies from both countries were illustrated in the talk “The textile sector in Tunisia and Piedmont: partnership opportunities”. The works were introduced by Elena Chiorino, Vice President of the Piedmont Region, and M. Mourad Bourahla, Ambassador of the Republic of Tunisia to Italy.

For man-made fibers, sustainability is often a double challenge, because it has to be combined with the search for highly innovative performance. One of the world’s leading companies in this field is RadiciGroup, which offers, among other things, nylon and polyester yarns, whether virgin, recycled or bio-based. As part of the “Dialoghi di Cofronto” of the 63rd edition of Filo, Loris Maestri, Product Development Manager Radici Yarn, illustrated the company’s development strategy, starting from the search for low-impact raw materials, in the talk entitled “Innovation and sustainability, the path of RadiciGroup”.

At the 63rd edition of Filo, the Filo Capsule Collection allowed us to propose a talk of the “Dialoghi di Confronto” that was very different from the usual: not a debate, but a real performance, during which Monica Bebendo, teacher at the Università Popolare di Cremona, used some fabric samples from the Filo Capsule Collection and the moulage technique to create a garment. During the interactive moulage workshop, Alessandra Capelli, president of the Università Popolare di Cremona, explained the activities of the institution.

Sustainability is the key word for the textile-clothing industry to understand the present and build the future. However, how to put it into practice raises profound questions and reflections, which Roberta Redaelli, an expert in Sustainability Ethics and Communication, has tried to answer in her essay “Italy&Moda”. The book was the starting point for one of the talks of the “Dialoghi di Confronto” at the 62nd edition of Filo, entitled “Sustainability and Communication in support of the evolution of the Italian textile industry”, conducted by Roberta Redaelli herself in a dialogue with Francesca Rulli, CEO and Founder of Process Factory and 4sustainability and Co-Founder of Y Hub.

Rosa Genoni is considered the first figure of Made in Italy and certainly a great representative of that artistic craftsmanship in fashion that still makes Italian garments unique today. Within the Rosa Genoni MilanoLab program conceived and created by the lifestyle journalist Elisabetta Invernici in the “Dialoghi di Confronto” of the 62nd edition of Filo, the spotlight was turned on Rosa Genoni “creator of fabrics”: the Filo audience was in fact presented for the first time with an anthology of textile samples collected by the thousands during her professional and research activity.

Communication and building consciousness about sustainability in the complex supply chains of the production and distribution systems, and in particular in the fashion system, are two fundamental issues in the “glocal” economy. At the 62nd edition of Filo, as part of the Dialoghi di Confronto, Laila Bonazzi (journalist, Sustainability Editor, Impact Communications Specialist and Content Creator), Maria Canella (director of the Accademia Unidee) and Olga Pirazzi (director of BEST, the department dedicated to sustainable fashion of the Pistoletto Foundation) discussed them in the talk entitled “Communicating and building consciousness about sustainability”.
