Our project explores all the possibilities connected with fungus and spores.
​
Fungi are some of the oldest species ever, they are the grant recyclers of the planet and the vanguard species in habitat restoration.
Moreover, Mycelium is the neurological network of nature and Earth’s internet, a consciousness with which we might be able to communicate.
We believe in an open source connectivity and sharing of the resources in our communities, just like nature’s network.
​
We want to create a women’s wear ensemble by using different technologies and bioelements.
​
The designs will be inspired by the Fungi kingdom.
The inside of the outfit is a suit composed by a top and pants.
It is tailored as an haute couture garment.
Its cream color rappresents the elegance and evokes the common color of mushrooms.
​
The fabric is 100% fine italian wool.
The bioplastic belt is made out of tulle fabric and agar based bioplastic.
On the surface of the belt are present some 24K gold leafs.
​
The belt is directly casted on a mannquin.
The texture of the belt mimics the smooth surface of a mushroom.
​
The aim of the project is to let the user explore all the experience of a mushroom (texture - color - details ).
The kimono is made out of latex,
a natural material that comes form some specific plants, called "rubber tree".
​
The kimono has been thought to be a zero waste and seamless design.
​
All the parts are joined together trough the use of weaved interlockings.
This collar is inspired by the gills of a mushroom.
The design is directly 3D-printed on the tulle fabric.
​
The 3D filament used is hard translucent PLA.
This wool cape is designed as a modular and adjustable cape.
Just like the kimono, all the parts are joined together without sewing.
​
Its design reminds the gills of certain species of fungi.
​
It is made of 100% italian wool.
​
​
The earrings come from Stéphanie Santos' previous collection.
​
They are made of resin,
24K gold leaf and scraps of 3D-pen filament.
