DANDY CULTURE
Presented by Adriana Osorio,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 5 PM
MX$90 (M) MX$130 (NM)

Adriana Osorio and the master artesans: doña Aurora Bazán, doña Natividad Zarate, Isabel Martinez, Romualdo Curiel and Juana Reyes from La Costa region, will talk about their experiences in doing this July 2017 project. You will see the results in high fashion from the Mexico City and Florence, Italy exhibits.

RACU (Raíces Culturales) is a Mexican Civil Association which aims to promote the work of Indigenous Peoples and has objectives to rescue, promote and promote the work of traditional artists from indigenous groups in various branches of the artisanal sector.

Thanks to the collaboration of the master weavers of the Mexican region of Oaxaca, the RACU Raices Culturales association and the groups of artisans represented by it, the students of IED (Istituto Europeo di Design—Department of Fashion Design of the Rome and Florence offices) and Anáhuac were asked to try their hand at reinterpreting traditional Mexican fabrics, according to the taste of the Italian contemporary consumers, also referring to the charm and stylistic identity of the Dandy.

“A project that wants to mix different worlds: the Mexican Oaxacan fabric that comes from expert hands, presenting the identity of the villages where it is produced, the look of young designers and a theme that sees its birth in 1820. Elegance, craftsmanship, contamination, extravagance, snobbery are some words that could be used to describe this new design challenge, jointly addressed by IED and Anáhuac."
Giovanni Ottonello – IED Art Director
