The first French Slow Fashion Week in Marseilles: A fashion show manifesto
loading...
On Saturday June 14th, the first French Slow Fashion Week presented the fashion show of the fourth graduating class of Studio Lausié in Marseilles. Twenty-three young designers presented five silhouettes each, entirely made from upcycled materials.
This fashion show wasn't simply a presentation of fashion; it was intended as a true manifesto, as Marion Lopez, founder of Studio Lausié, highlighted in a press release. The Marseilles-based school distinguishes itself through its vocational training focused on eco-responsibility, encouraging its students to ‘create something new from something old’.
‘Fashion here isn’t decorative: it speaks, it questions, it expresses itself with shapes, textures and meaning,’ Lopez stated. The pieces were designed with materials recovered from recycling centres, second-hand shops and elsewhere across the globe. Among the looks presented were fishing nets, soft toys, mirrors, toys, car bodies and belts.
