A Special Project with FENDI and Sarah Coleman
DIS-CYCLING · The seductive allure of creativity in sustainability is a disruptive project that brings together Istituto Marangoni students and luxury house FENDI, guided by NY artist and out-of-the-box thinker Sarah Coleman as Creative Director.
Concerned with the impact of today’s relentless fashion system, Coleman has turned her creative activity into an upcycling mission. The artist teamed up with selected Fashion Design, Multimedia Arts and Textile Innovation students and executives from the world-renowned label to give the industry a circular makeover.
