Age: 23
Hobbies: Art - Drawing, Painting
Field of Study: Fashion Design

Why do you think Ecofashion important?
I chose to participate in the second edition of the EcoFashion lab because I think it is a great opportunity for visibility for young fashion designers.

Why did you join the EcoFashion Lab?

I find this to be a very interesting part of the criteria for the competition. I am always attentive to ethical and sustainable fashion. I also participated in the first edition of EcoFashion Lab, proving very successful with a garment made ​​of acchiappacolori. I did not win, but I received a special mention by the jury. This year I decided to try again!

What inspired your sketch?

The outfit was inspired by a Vionnet dress reinvented with a minimalist style. Now it is current, more modern, but geometrically defined. The dress color is fine and elegant for the day. Lastly, I characterize my style choices as a minimalist simplicity of form with a great sense of color.

EcoFashion Lab Interview: Veronica


Name: Veronica
Age: 22
Hobbies: Watching what happens around her and taking photos of it!
Field of Study: Fashion Design









Why do you think Ecofashion is important?


The obvious answer is: "This is an important topic that touches us all". This we know. Unfortunately, with fashion I believe that much can change and I hope that more designers are approaching this issue - creating an image conscious and sending a strong concept to safeguard the planet.


Why did you join the EcoFashion Lab?

Because I fully support the concept of this event and wanted to make a collection based on it.

What has inspired your sketch?


Instinctively I thought of green meadows and that cold that only nature can provide. I am so invested in the feelings that I was struck with by the them. Thanks to an accurate image search, I tried to think holistically by recreating a simple dress with fabric inserts overlapping thus obtaining an effect of lightness and movement.
