The survey was carried out through the collection of data on the field, with questionnaires administered to companies in the area: structured analysis on the company profile and brand identity; focus on sustainability with reference to the measures adopted by the company; technological assessment; collection of new needs expressed by each company. The result of the on-field research suggests, on the one hand, theoretical reflections relating to new sustainable approaches for the fashion sector, and on the other, technological innovation to implement value and profit for each company according to a sustainable and circular economic model. In Italy the local manufacturing systems have had their fulcrum in the industrial districts, which present themselves as centres of relations between multiple stakeholders. Generally, the openness and inclu...

By linking heterogeneous knowledge in a transdisciplinary vision, the paper analyses their potential, combining case studies, processes, and arising aesthetics. In this scenario, the laboratory practices are configured as open study processes, oriented toward a new way of conceiving fashion manufacture, perfectly integrated with the planet’s ecosystems. Among the most interesting aspects, new forms of awareness, intimately linked to the nature to which humankind belongs, emerge, pushing the designer to the role of a catalyst of a sustainable and multispecies vision. Through an analysis of case studies, the contribution finally reflects the rise of an aesthetic-sensorial paradigm: the formless. All biomaterials and dyes deriving from living organisms seem to relate to this aesthetic category since they lead to a different conception of shape, color, and substance. In contrast to a classical aesthetic perfection, biomaterials and bio textiles often reveal textures that are dotted, shaded, imperfect, antihierarchic, opaque, unpredictable, and for this reason, they shake the viewer, destabilizing him. The contribution aims to promote an investigation into fashion-oriented bio practices connecting transdisciplinary knowledges to fascinating aesthetics for the consolidation of new fashion imagery.

Knowledge Sharing is a process for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues that looks for an improved future result. It is the essential ability to combine empathy, creativity and rationality to meet user needs and drive cooperative economy. In organization and management theory, Knowledge Sharing, characterizes innovative human-centred enterprises. This management paradigm focuses on a collaborative and iterative style of work and an abductive mode of thinking, compared to the more traditional practices associated with the traditional management paradigm. These views, which take shape in the social space and favour peer production of goods and services in a bottom-up process, translate into the birth of alternative lifestyles. The new solidarity-based forms of complex societies result from a process, which merges ma...

Per esplorare e individuare gli strumenti e i metodi per \u201cfare ricerca [dottorale] in design\u201d la sessione tematica, dedicata agli \u201capprocci\u201d ha rappresentato un momento di discussione e confronto sulle differenti orientazioni metodologiche. Cos\uec da avviare stimolanti riflessioni per \u201cridelineare\u201d gli ambiti della disciplina con lo scopo di esplorarne i confini, tracciare le linee evolutive e documentare esperienze accademiche e di ricerca. Il contributo restituisce, attraverso l\u2019unione e la \u201cmescolanza\u201d di diverse \u201cvoci interpretative\u201d, una lettura complessiva di approcci, ambiti e percorsi di ricerca, come occasione di contaminazione di linguaggi, ...
