COSENZA Art, fashion, design. Design, fashion, art, cinema, music. A round trip on roads that intersect and are enriched with content through testimonies of different professional experiences. Each in their own way committed to building a new narrative for Calabria. An exciting and multi-voiced debate characterized the penultimate day of the South Italy Fashion Week at the Moema Academy headquarters in Cosenza directed by Giada Falcone. “The beauty of slowness” was the title of the lesson Pino Scaglionearchitect, urban designer and professor at the University of Trento, who fascinated the students of the Academy by illustrating connections and contaminations between art, fashion and design.

Different experiences that have a common origin in the desire to promote cinema in Calabria aiming for a stable and long-lasting industry. A path already started thanks to the commitment of the Film Commission. «In the last two years – said Gargano – 12 million euros have been invested in around 60 film productions». Training young people to prepare them for professions that revolve around the world of cinema is one of the bets of the Moema Academy. «We need to build alliances because investing in Calabrian cinema and productions also means broadening the tourist horizon», said Sposato.
He also spoke during the meeting Giacomo Triglia, director and author of highly successful commercials and music videos (he has worked with artists of the caliber of Jovanotti, Maneskin, Ligabue, Ornella Vanoni, Brunori Sas, Lucio Dalla, Samuele Bersani, Annalisa and many others). Triglia also wanted to talk about the connections between fashion, cinema and music, recalling the fashion film made for Dolce&Gabbana.
