LISAA Nantes puts on a fashion show at the Lieu Unique
press release — Thursday, 7th April 2016 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. communiqué de presse — Jeudi 7 Avril 2016 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.
