We need to reintroduce products and techniques that unite everything: the individual, their creativity and know-how. This is at the heart of the ORIGIN PASSION & BELIEFS philosophy in relation to the vast fashion world. The fair in Vicenza brings together traditional manufactures and Italy’s leading luxury brands with 100 up and coming talents from all over the world, creating an event that is dedicated to innovation. And all in the Italy’s North West, home to the skilled hands behind Italian luxury brands for centuries.
Swiss label YVY is amongst the top 100, selected from 15,000 designers. And a great choice too we might add, their leather accessories are veritable sartorial exhibits, the epitome of innovation, handcrafted from natural tanned leather. Designer Yvonne Reichmuth shows that traditional craft can also be sexy. ‘Elegance with attitude’ best describes her design style, each piece can be individually customised. yvy.ch
ORIGIN PASSION & BELIEFS saw a pioneering spirit in YVY, which they see as vital for future inspiration and craft. Additional exhibitors include bag makers, knitwear visionaries, belt designers, jewellery creators, fashion specialists, leather manufacturers and fashion designers.
We were also taken by Japanese designer YOJIRO KAKE. Here we present the GoSee editor’s pick of his latest collection. ORIGIN PASSION & BELIEFS takes place in Vicenza, Italy 8-11 May 2014. originfair.com
