Altaroma Winter 2019: Emerging Talents and Sustainable Fashion Take Center Stage
The winter 2019 edition of Altaroma wrapped up successfully, featuring 60 brands and emerging talents through the 'Showcase' initiative, backed by Mise and Ice-Agenzia. A standout moment was Malo's cashmere collection, showcased at PratiBus District. The Mibac contest for uniforms at Colosseum Archaeological Park was won by Accademia Modartech and Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, with Accademia di Costume e Moda di Roma receiving special mentions. Activewear was presented by designer pairs Gianluca Ferracin and Andrea Masato, while Martina Cella highlighted Romanian cultural influences. Sustainability was a key theme, with Asciari's eco-conscious 'Antartica' and Italo Marseglia's gender-neutral 'Rubendo.' Gattinoni introduced 'Upcycling' couture, and Sylvio Giardina's 'Vertigo' installation will be available until February 28. Altaroma is gearing up for its summer edition.
