Fashion & Ethic of Responsibility
Carpi, Auditorium S. Rocco

Open discussion involving stylists and exponents belonging to the environmental culture and human rights movements
Objectives
Exponents of the Italian and international fashion industry, together with individuals who work for the protection of the environment and promotion of social rights will discuss and debate thoroughly the following issues:
- How and in what ways is the profile of fashion industries concerning social responsibilities changing in relation with the contradictions of the current development model?
- How and to what extent can the textile and fashion industry reduce its social and environmental “foot print”?
- What are the ideal conditions that make it possible to give rise to ethical design which calls for creativity as well as concern for social and environmental problems right from the very beginning and initial phase of the project?

Organic fashion and contemporary dance
Piazza Martiri - Carpi
| Italy’s main contemporary dance company, Aterballetto, and its choreographer and artistic director meet fashion. Mauro Bigonzetti, author of choreographies for the New York Ballet and the Stuttgart Ballet, is acclaimed in Italy and abroad. His renowned creativity meets that of one of Italy’s major contemporary stylists for a special presentation. The clothes/costumes, created expressly for the occasion, become alive and animated by the graceful bodies of Aterballetto’s dancers, creating a true performance, rather than a simple fashion show, in search of more instinctive and sensual movements.
The show will begin in the evening – 21.30, in the breathtaking setting of Piazza Martiri in Carpi as part of the Conference on organic textile and fiber.
