THE SUSTAINABLE LIGHTNESS OF FASHION

Melting Pot by Marina Alberghini.

Looking around is not difficult to notice; It is taking place in fashion, but not only, a change in values ​​and not just from today, because of the difficulties related to Covid 19. I am pleased to, quindi, share this story, one of the many good stories around this theme. Let me tell you "Progetto some", social enterprise, It born from the desire of a small group of friends to give redemption to people who otherwise would have no chance to gain access to decent employment, regular and remunerated.

Il Project MORE, founded in 2013 by Anna Fiscale Bocconi with a passion for women's empowerment, It produces handmade clothing and accessories and carefully, create, for the most part, with high quality fabric inventories End of line provided over 40 Italian companies to clothing and furniture, famous and prestigious companies known by all of us. But what makes this project "different" is that the QUID Project workers are 16 different nationalities, the majority of which women and with a difficult past that can, through this work, have an opportunity to get back on track and take responsibility for self. They are people who have often suffered from social exclusion, invisible or deliberately ignored by the labor market, without the ability to learn, evolve and grow The beauty of Project QUID, secondo me, It is that it reverses the approach, First believing in them, offering formazione and the possibility of learning a profession and a job, in order to have a good life for themselves. It is therefore embrace a completely different approach, focusing on the individual and on its specific needs, thus becoming a positive example of diversity management, in the hope that others can replicate in other areas and other parts of the world.

Inside the workshop Project QUID, the fabric scraps, the remnants and waste of the entire production of the textile chain – surplus, samples and test collections – They are elaborated in beautiful fabrics that would otherwise remain unused and closed in some archive or warehouse. Among geometrical patterns and basic shapes the style is free, Critical femininity is simple but courageous, romantic and lively, well beyond the form goes straight to the substance and to a democratic price, This is one of the aspects of this project that most interests me emphasize and convey to our readers.

dutiful, but not essential, give you some elements to deepen the project if you feel: today you can find the clothes in the QUID 5 brand stores and within un'outlet Calzedonia with its own corner, In addition to selling online from the website. Last thing the word "Quid" is a Latin word It is a neutral interrogative pronoun ('what?’), but also indefinitely ('something'). It leads us to think that this project will be for the time evolution and will give a chance for redemption still so many women mainly, but open to all. www.quidorg.it
