MOMENTO

Cristian Torchia - IED Milano - Degree in Fashion Design

Academic year

2023/2024

A women's collection that stems from the designer's experience over the last four years, a time when he found and refined a new way of expression within the world of techno clubbing: a place where social hierarchies are broken down, an oasis in which to find his own balance.

Through an aesthetic that plays on the manipulation of the skin, the woman of Momento seeks “refuge” on the clubbing stage to purge herself of the artefactual habits, prejudices and imperfections of the civilised world and immerses herself - absorbing it - in what she sees and grasps from this stage: a less sweetened view of human nature and its interests.

Reality now appears changed, distant and unsettled: one enters into a meditative subversion that leads to a dialogue between self and self. The garments interplay with layering to give three-dimensionality and compactness. The rigidity and perfect fit are ensured by the internal reinforcement with hat visors; exclusivity comes from the raw cut seams that cannot be repeated on other garments. The wearer of “Momento” will be unique and incomparable.
