On June 3rd, SUS FUTURE inaugurated the international exhibition “From Tradition to Future – A Journey into Sustainable Fashion”.
Curated by Guoxiang Yuan, the exhibition highlights innovation and sustainability in the fashion industry and is hosted in the vibrant city of Taipei.
Among the talented designers selected for this prestigious showcase are Noé Bozzini, Sahar Dadvand, and Tanaka Vengere, students of the Master in Fashion Design program at Ferrari Fashion School. Their works, developed within the RESTART initiative, represent a peak of creativity and social commitment.
The RESTART Project: A Collaboration for Change
RESTART was born as an ambitious project by Ferrari Fashion School in collaboration with creative agency ACNE and Terre des Hommes, an international non-governmental organization committed to defending the rights of girls and young women. Developed during Milan Fashion Week in February 2024, RESTART tackled critical themes such as female empowerment, and the fight against violence and gender discrimination.
Students from Ferrari Fashion School embarked on a transformative journey, taking torn and damaged garments collected from their peers and giving them new life. These pieces, which symbolized episodes of violence, were reimagined into unique creations that tell stories of rebirth and resilience.
Through a refined tailoring approach and inspired by the technique of Kintsugi—the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold—the designers crafted garments that not only conceal past scars but celebrate them, turning them into sources of strength. Every golden stitch is a testament to the beauty that can arise from wounds.
The garments created by our students have become true symbols of renewal—icons to wear with strength and pride. Each piece carries a powerful yet simple message: every wound can be healed, every story can begin again. This philosophy is not only reflected in the pieces on display but permeates the entire exhibition, inviting visitors to reflect on the power of resilience and transformation.
Looking to the Future
The exhibition “From Tradition to Future – A Journey into Sustainable Fashion” represents not only an opportunity to celebrate emerging talent but also a chance to promote global dialogue around sustainability and empowerment through design. The works of Noé Bozzini, Sahar Dadvand, and Tanaka Vengere demonstrate how fashion can be a powerful tool for social change, capable of uniting beauty and meaning in a single, unforgettable message.
With this exhibition, Taipei places itself at the heart of the global conversation on the future of fashion—welcoming innovators and visionaries who are shaping the path toward a more sustainable and just world.
