Another one main topic of Venice Design Week is fashion, conceived in cross-section sense, with a particular focus on new Venetian artisanal products. The aim is to give visibility to young talented people, already known on a territory basis, and to create future opportunities of collaboration between VDW and other international design festivals.

One of the most important partnership, born by the collaboration between appreciated textural artists is truly the relationship between Atelier Chiara Pizzinato and Tessiture Luigi Bevilacqua.
The first is appreciated for her colourful and creative clothes; the second is, with no doubt, one of the ancient Venetian weaving factory. They have created together a wonderful collection composed of outerwear, bags and accessories.
We recommend Valentina Bonafè, the creative artisan of Estro Diverso, specialized in production of bags and accessories made by original vintage and recyclable materials, selected for the creation of innovative works. She loves her city and its culture and she applies the creativity in the realization of bags composed of new innovative materials. In fact it’s possible that a fishing net will become a leather bag, refined and comfortable. Also the gondola’s pillow will be transformed in a wonderful garment. All of her creations are original, unique and exclusive.
Another important enterprise that is new in VDW scenario is ABC, a firm specialized in gold objects, guided by Andrea D’Agostino. He’s a Venetian goldsmith and an expert of the granulation technique and also of Mokume Gane, an ancient oriental technique that means “Metal with wood veining”. ABC will emphasize its artistic creation and its continuously innovation and research. They embrace different styles and they can customize their objects.
