Copio's Brick Bags Critique Fashion System at Fuksas' La Nuvola in Rome

Artist copio presents 'FASHION IS A LIFESTYLE. Il peso della moda', a project featuring bags made entirely of brick, at the Edilsocialexpo B-CAD EXPO in Rome. The installation, which critiques the fashion system, was first shown at Milan Design Week 2026 and will be on view from September 4 to 6, 2026, at the Roma Convention Center La Nuvola, designed by Massimiliano Fuksas. The work is displayed at the EPM Edilpiemme stand, HALL 1 – Booth L2, with free entry from 10:00 to 19:00, requiring online registration. The brick bags are deliberately dissonant, subverting the functional promise of a bag as a transportable accessory. The project's title underscores the weight of fashion, both literal and metaphorical. The venue, La Nuvola, is a landmark building by Fuksas located at Viale Asia 6. The event is part of Edilsocialexpo B-CAD EXPO, a trade fair for construction and design. The artist, known as copio, uses the brick as a symbol of construction and permanence, contrasting with the ephemeral nature of fashion. The installation invites reflection on the materiality and value systems within the fashion industry.
