Taking part in the revolution

There is a certain pleasure in recognising something that was well made.

That is why for the second year Lottozero participated in the Fashion Revolution week with a two-day event, on the weekend of April 21st and 22nd: the Fashion Revolution Fair.

The event was something between a showroom and an exhibition, in which the public was able to witness the work of tailors and dressmakers live, ask for their advice, buy fine fabrics from invited textile retailers or directly commission a bespoke piece.

The goal was to reconnect the public to production, to the value of work, to handmade unique piece and more in general to quality in textile production and tailoring attracting attention to the issue of "who made my clothes", the main theme of the initiative Fashion Revolution.

ROUND TABLE TALK

Persuading people that it's better to have less of something good than a lot of bad things is not difficult when you put them in the position of experiencing good design and excellent quality.

That is why during the round table talk "Sustainability in the Fashion System" very practical issues were tackled in order to find day to day solutions to questions of consumer awareness.
