LISAA Nantes puts on a fashion show at the Lieu
Unique
On the 22nd April at 7pm, students from LISAA Nantes
are putting on a fashion show at the Lieu Unique in
collaboration with the Mulliez-Flory group, in which the
young designers have recycled protective garments. It’s a
light and sound performance to look forward to!
A new life for clothes
For this ninth edition of the annual LISAA Nantes fashion show, students on the introductory
course in applied arts (MANAA) and the Fashion Design BTS coursewere invited by the
Mulliez Flory group to give a creative and distinctive new life to its personal protective
garments and its used high visibility fabrics.
Equipped with reflective strips and fluorescent fabrics, these garments are much harder to
recycle than polyester or cotton shirts or wool trousers. As such, students had a starting
point of “impact, deconstruction and explosion” – metaphors for recycling – in order to
create their collection.
«We know how creative the students at LISAA are. We are sure
that good ideas will come of this that will feed into our thought
processes.»
— Jacques Gindre, CEO of the Mulliez-Flory group
They then researched new materials using the processes of weaving, fraying, meshing and
coating. Read the interview with a MANAA teacher on the creative process of this project.

Light & sound
Students worked on transforming work garments while enhancing their characteristics, such
as the sounds produced by fabrics. Using fluorescent materials as a base, this runway show
is both full of light and sound. The show will be set to music by Phonème, an artist-musician
and musical programmer at the Lieu Unique, the national stage at Nantes.
Committed partners
The Mulliez Flory group is the French market leader in the creation and development of
tailor-made professional clothing. Its involvement with the students at LISAA Nantes is part
of its corporate social responsibility policy.
This event is also part of the international Fashion Revolution movement, which encourages
fashion businesses to increase transparency in the production and management of the
garments they sell.
