✨ Challenging students today to design a more sustainable tomorrow.
👏 Meet the winners of our first #MantecoSustainabilityAward with Accademia Italiana. Congratulations to Alice Ambrosio, Gaia Orso, Benedetta Polello, Gaia Schiavon and Martina Strambi, whose project "Menda" impressed us with its innovative approach to sustainability and design.
🧥 The name "Menda", meaning defect or imperfection, invites reflection on self-acceptance, emphasizing the importance of embracing one’s imperfections in a world often driven by perfection. This concept aligns with the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection, incompleteness, and the passage of time.
🪄 This seasonless womenswear collection redefines comfort and elegance through an approach that celebrates individuality, showing a perfect balance between oversized silhouettes, layering, cut-out details, fabric manipulations and contrasting elements.
