Some glimpses of the Spazio Ricerca Body of Light
Glimpse of the Spazio Ricerca Body of Light
Curated by Angelo Figus, Carrie Hollands and Manuela Sandroni, the Spazio Ricerca sends a direct message: it is necessary to look at reality objectively, thinking that products and companies are also spiritual entities, we cannot only consider the materialistic aspect of business, but let’s rethink, for example, the workplaces within which there are human beings.
Body of Light: The Physical Body
Body of Light: The Physical Body
Body of Light “is an invitation to find new tools to look at reality objectively and not fall victim to the lack of understanding of what is happening around us”, explain the organizers. The search for light summarizes the spirit of the upcoming trends, centered on three aspects of observation that correspond to three ways of feeling and acting: physical body, subtle body and spiritual body”.

The PHYSICAL BODY:
It is the theme of the observation of the material body, in its most intimate and extraordinary dimension: the vegetal, human, animal and mineral nature, observed under the microscope, reveal unusual and extraordinary patterns, ordered but organic, rational in their formation but spontaneous in their designs and geometries. These visions will inspire new interpretations of the most classic and recognizable knitted patterns, but as they have never been seen before. Knits that create checks, braids, squares, classic stitches, but also lace and nets moved by reliefs and small and large processes. Raw and irregular yarns, but also summery and fresh ones like cottons, linens and capacious.

THE SUBTLE BODY:
The subtle body is that boundary between the physical body and the space that contains it, which we could define as aura. Not everyone can see it: those who have this ability describe it as a light that “contains the body by slightly overflowing it in a nuanced and irregular way, a sort of energy that follows by illuminating the volume and the contour of the body itself”. The knits of this theme enhance fine and very fine wools, but they are also irregular and transparent. Blends of wool and silk, fluid, veiled.

SPIRITUAL BODY:
A superior dimension, linked to the spirit that contains everything and in which everything participates. Luminescence, shine, brilliance are key elements that express the meaning of this in-depth research. The theme is expressed in very refined and elegant, sparkling and precious knitwear, which shine with their own light and luminescent and metallic effects also in color gradation; to underline through concentric graphics their pulsating and luminous effect. Not only precious and elegant knitwear, but also very technical to satisfy the need for fusion and well-being. Knitwear and small garments with a sporty taste made of nylon in vibrant colors, in lamé, in iridescent or metallic yarns; yarns embellished with lights of natural crystals interpreted by unusual and refined beads and sequins, small interventions on the threads that capture the brightness and irregularity of the crystals themselves. COLORS: electric pastels, purple as the predominant color, not surprisingly the most spiritual color of all.

About 3,000 buyers (3,400 registered visitors) arrived at the Fortezza from more than 50 foreign countries, 116 exhibiting companies with unique knitwear proposals in the world, all this bodes well for the sector qualifying Pitti Immagine to be no longer a point of reference in the sector, but THE POINT OF REFERENCE!
Good life to everyone!
