Sector 1

Since the most ancient times, the construction of the world and the order in which it was conceived have been articulated according to the measure of the human body. The primordial matrix of the new world lies deeply rooted within this architecture of the flesh. Everything depends on the actions of the humanoid, on the dimensions through which complex movements unfold in everyday life, on the precise analysis of different typologies and races, and on the standards created around them to either protect or dismantle the fragile and ephemeral structure of the human body. Somewhere, within this tumultuous vortex of anthropological conjunctures, clothing delineates with exactitude the need to shield the fragility of the human body. The contour around which this protective action has been woven throughout history — ultimately sketching the very paradigm of fashion — continues to guide us today, in accordance with the anthropometric specifications of the human body. Thus, the shaping imposed upon different materials of textile origin is articulated in close dialogue with the logic of the body, placing the human figure as the central paradigm for garment design. Yet, when the overabundance of sartorial overproduction or the obsession with ceaselessly generating pieces meant to serve exclusively in relation to the structures of the body activates mechanisms of curiosity, generating an impulse to explore new territories that leaves behind the conventional zone of the utilitarian. In this way, material migrates into new models of thought, exploration, and renunciation of its practical limits, transforming the fabric into a process of re-interpreting the triad of body, earth, and culture.
