FASHION IN SEARCH OF NEW BALANCE BETWEEN PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
Finding a new balance between production and consumption is the great challenge for the textile industry which must face the problem of waste. There is a need to rethink consumption habits to work towards a more sustainable model and extend the life cycle of raw materials and products to minimize the impact on the planet. It was discussed in depth in the “Dialoghi di Confronto” of the 60th edition of Filo, in particular in the talk “Raw materials, fashion and consumption, the new balances”, conducted by Olga Pirazzi, director of the sustainable fashion department of Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto.

PRATO DISTRICT AT WORK AFTER THE FLOOD
The flood which affected Prato district at the beginning of November has caused victims and huge damage both to private citizens and to enterprises – more than 500 million euro have already been estimated. Many textile companies suffered from the floods too, including some companies which exhibit at Filo. However, as Andrea Borelli from Tessitura Italia stated, ‘The citizens of Prato are great workers, and Prato doesn’t stop after this catastrophe.” We have got to Filo’s exhibitors based in Prato district immediately after the flood; despite considerable damage reported, they stated that they are immediately returning to work, confirming their participation in the 61st edition of Filo as exhibitors, as usual.
Here are some of their comments.
