The exhibition is starting from the groundbreaking intuitions and researches of the Italian designer and is continuing with the works of international artists and fashion designers : the exhibition calls for thinking about environmental issues, displaying the latest experimentations on the "green" side and suggests a new and innovative key to the delicate intertwining of nature and technique, organic resources and creative reuse, underlining the importance of a shared, aware and collective commitment.
