Krzarchive: Underground Fashion Show in Bologna's ExDynamo
In July 2026, Bologna's ExDynamo venue was the stage for Krzarchive, an event that blended runway fashion with techno influences, part of the 'Sotto la montagnola' festival celebrating independent creativity through stalls, exhibitions, and DJ performances. Lorenzo Corazza (Krz), a young artist inspired by video games such as World of Warcraft, presented his hand-painted clothing. The runway featured unique jewelry crafted by Gaia Romanelli and Alice Diana. Curated by Cripta studio, the sound design enriched the atmosphere as models moved through tunnels and an otherwise restricted corridor. Corazza's garments were displayed on bicycles mounted on walls, creating an engaging setting. This event offered a fresh platform for Bologna's underground artistic community.
