The element which has always characterised Filo’s creative proposals within the textile industry is the choice of focusing on products and production processes. In doing so, the creative proposals represent for Filo’s exhibitors and, more generally, for textile industry’s professionals, an effective working tool, to use as concrete inspiration for producing the collections shown at the 61st edition of Filo.
The main topic chosen by Gianni Bologna for the next edition of Filo is “Ir-reality Show”: following the game of mirrors of the unreality of shows pretending to perform reality, the Creative Dialogues are developed along four textile interpretations: Once upon a time; Comics; Naturopathy; Serial.
Inspiring Innovation and Designs
Paolo Monfermoso, Responsible for Filo, states: “The Dialoghi Creativi which we are releasing today – as occurs for each edition of Filo– are particularly inspiring as far as textile creativity and innovation are concerned. The choice made by Filo of focusing on products and processes makes our proposals unique within the textile industry. For this reason, the online publication represents an event which is particularly awaited and appreciated by all professionals. The uniqueness of Filo’s Dialoghi Creativi lays in feeding the continuous dialogue between the Exhibition and its exhibitors, by also suggesting stylistic innovative and ground-breaking sparks, so that each company can develop its own collections by drawing inspiration according to their different needs. Since the dialogue between Filo and textile professionals is constant and continuous, for some years we have chosen to issue the Dialoghi Creativi exclusively through digital channel. In this way, each professional working within textile industry can choose when to check our stylistic proposals, having the possibility to study them and being inspired whenever they want, by simply accessing Filo website. In addition to this, Filo is an increasingly international exhibition and digital channel enables us to easily reach those who work abroad.”
Gianni Bologna, Responsible for Filo’s Creativity and Style, focuses on stylistic contents of “Ir-reality Show”: “One’s daily life is beaten as a mediatic exhibition where each of us is forced to totally or partially play a role which is complementary to the one of other individuals interacting with them. Therefore, for the next Filo edition of Filo, we have chosen to travel around ‘images’, and to explore the ‘decorative’ side of this modus vivendi, by playing with imaginative shapes of some specific modern masks, creating a new aesthetics, which sometimes is even more creative. “Ir-reality Show” is developed along four textile topics, dealing with the search for elegance and beauty, sustainability, but also more daring and eccentric looks for a hyper-customised taste or, on the other hand, the search for comfort and wellness.” The 61st edition of Filo will be held on the 28th and 29th of February 2024, at Allianz MiCo Milan.
