Milan Design Week officially opened yesterday, but some of the designers involved have been launching innovative projects and installations already in the last few days. Fashion designer Federico Sangalli is one of them.
On Monday Sangalli showcased at the Galleria Antik, a space dedicated to antique scientific instruments and works of art made with recycled materials, a gown that combines tradition with technology.
Dubbed the "Light My Night" gown and created in collaboratin with Il Filo dei Sogni, the dress gradually lights up becoming more brilliant in the dark, creating a unique effect. The gown is indeed made with a optical fibre-based organza and was made following the highest craftsmanship traditions while also looking at new technologies.
The gown will be on display in the next few days at the DreamLux stand (the company owns the patents to manufacture textiles with Luminex optical fibre) at the International Furniture Fair (until 13th April), at the DreamLux Lounge at Byblos (11th April) and at RusskiDom (11th April).
