‘The whispers of yesterday are the voices of today and the echoes of tomorrow.”
The most recent edition of Feeric Fashion Week has become one of the most memorable and richly diverse of its 16 editions. Emerging designers from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East were the protagonists in Sibiu once again of showing the principle of the universality of the broader creative fashion concept. Giving voice to the creative future of fashion is essential. Laying the foundations of education and guiding new international promises through real experiences of the industry was the leitmotif of this path called Feeric.
Promoting training is not just a concept, and under the premise of the future of fashion as a multiple vision, this was contemplated in the masterclasses that were given. Sara Maino spoke about the importance of fashion education for emerging designers in her conference, one of the great figures understanding emerging fashion. Roxana Baias from the NEPI Rockastle group explained the importance of marketing in the vision of fashion as a business activity and the real business opportunities. Andreea Tanasescu spoke about the importance of credits to the designer as a creative mastery. Giovanni Ottonello from IED was in charge of enhancing the creative part through a masterful workshop and the one who presented the most avant-garde vision of the future of fashion was Donald Gjoka through his talk about his work with the metaverse and AI.
The exchange of creative visions by designers from 20 countries who presented their collections in this edition only enriched the breadth of the global concept of fashion and shaped a concept according to the eyes and social circumstances where it is developed. With Feeric as the epicenter, the opportunity for cultural enrichment by sharing such diverse visions is incalculable.
The locations served as a perfect setting to exalt the creative concept that each designer or educational group wanted to share with the world. From the overwhelming presentation of UFEG in a bunker, to the evocation of freedom offered by the Pumtrack Belvedere; from the more intimate presentations at Promenada to the sophistication offered by the Brukenthal Museum; from the creative explosion of Venom Karting to the majesty always offered by the Gala at Huet Square.
The great creatives of the future are the visions of young designers of the present, which is why we aim to give voice and clarify their perspectives through education and opportunities.
Feeric does not seek the spotlight, it seeks to enhance and magnify the figure of the new designer, and extolling the importance of fashion education for the young promises of tomorrow.
Feeric Fashion Week is an event co-financed by Sibiu City Hall, supported by NEPI Rockcastle, Promenada Sibiu, Cinegold and Ford.
