No Words From movement to shape
Non-verbal communication is the theme of the thesis project: it is the part of the communication that includes the language of the boby. Dance is part of this type of communication and it allows to express better feelings, using body as main tool. For the speed of the movements, the dance delete suddenly the figures just built and, consequently, it is difficult to capture the moment in which the movement takes place. This project tries to translate motion into shapes by taking inspiration from Ludovic Florent’s photos.
Soft Volumes Phosphorescence Black & White
Transparency Strips Light Blue
Ludovic Florent is a photographer who, in his works, tries to break the idea of static in photography and to express in his pictures movement and change. In a series of photos, called “Poussière d’étoiles”, some dancers have been portrayed while they were dancing, lifting and throwing handfuls of dust.
The white clouds that were formed around their bodies, made visible the entire fulfillment of the movements, of which the viewer would otherwise have seen only a fragment frozen by the photographer shot.

Handmade Knitwear It all started with a skein
A sweater and a clutch are totally handmade, realized using some skeins and knitting needles. The sweater combines two different type of stitches – one for the front and the back, the other in the sleeves -. A metallic yarn is present in the skeins and makes the garment brilliant. For the same reason some studs are added on the sleeves. The skein used for the clutch is a mix of wool and acrylic and it is printed: at the end the clutch is amusingly colorful.

Denim Revolution Denim in the days of Garibaldi
“Denim Revolution” is a project which designs a new fabric from recycled pieces of denim. Garibaldini’s uniforms inspired a unique fabric: it is made of a patchwork composed of trapezoids that resemble the shape of ribbons medals; some of these are covered with silicon strips to simulate gros-grain. A second part of the fabric uses denim on its reverse and is covered randomly by the red footprint of a stamp that emulates Italy’s currency. The denim collection obtained underlines the waist, while shoulders and hips are made larger.

Biotic Park Future jobs on an artificial island
Biotic Park is a futuristic project that envisions the professionals who will work on an artificial island in which are preserved and studied the plant and animal species from around the world. The uniforms of every figure of the island are characterized by a unique silicon texture. It is realized the sub uniform: On the island, he plays the role of researcher and collects the methanogens on the seabed, which then are cultivated in laboratory for obtaining methane, used to create energy.
Sub Silicon Texture Transparency
Sub uniform is characterized by a transparent vest, with a pocket – in which he can collect materials and a suit. Both are lit by led lights, that run through the seams – useful to light the darkness in the sea -. The silicon texture recreates the sea waves.

FADAR Magazine The fashion radar
FADAR is a magazine which collects advertising, photoshoots about fashion or beauty and pictures about Milan people and their styles.

Inspired by Pollock the total white is broken by acrylic color spots, which make the advertising younger and funnier. Each symbol in the slogan is a vector image, created in Illustrator. The photoshoot is titled “Do-it-yourself� and the subjects are the beauty mask raw materials necessary for making natural beauty masks.

3D Shoes Virtual illustration
Evolve is a modeling program and 3D drawings, very similar to real objects, can be designed. In this case it has been reproduced a shoe from a real existent model. Material textures, equipped by the program, allow to add details and make more realistic the renderings. In particular in this shoe the fabric used simulated the cork for the heel and leather for the shoelaces.
Picture of the real shoes. In the previous page and below there are the renderings pictures from different points of view and zoomers.
