ADELE RASINI

I'm Adele, I'm 21 years old, and I live in Rivalta Sul Mincio, a small village in the province of Mantova. Currently, I'm in my third year of the fashion design course at the Modartech institute in Pontedera. My collection, titled "Giù al Mincio," aims to bring to light the ancient trades practiced along this river in the early 1900s. Through testimonies, I researched the figure of the "cannarolo" (the person who collected bulrush) and the "arellaia" (the one who wove it), modernizing and enhancing workwear. "Giù al Mincio" is not just a collection; it's a project that highlights the artisanal skills of small Italian towns, like the one where I was born and raised, and celebrates the cultural heritage of the area with a commitment to sustainability and handmade craftsmanship.
