Performance
Against the Grain
July 3 2019, 9.30pm
In the garden of Triennale Milano, NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti’s Two-year MA in Fashion and Textile Design will celebrate the end of the academic year by presenting a performance curated by Romeo Gigli and Davide Montagna, accompanied by the original soundtrack of Alberto Riva and light design by Marco Rizzuto.
The title of the event “Against the grain” refers to the English version of the book À reboursby Joris Karl Huysmans published in 1884 and translated into Italian with the title of Controcorrente: an intellectual impulse that intends to go beyond the superficial attitudes of the contemporary. A proposal that presents and outlines the esthete: he (or she) who builds his own self through the aestheticization of his thoughts and the world around him.
Romeo Gigli used this vision as the basis to pick out garments from the students' collections that were most in line with the chosen location —Triennale Milano garden, to create a number of suggestive tableaux vivants. Each garment has been entirely handmade by the students, who managed the whole process, from the outfit's design to creation, producing a capsule collection of six outfits.
All outfits were selected from classes curated and handled by Romeo Gigli and Claudia Nesi with the technical support of Anna Cardani and Geny Iorio.
