On my last day in Milan I visited Ventura Lambrata and after 4 days walking and exploring all Milan design week has to offer I was really happy with the shuttle service between the main locations, after a small tour organised by Dutch interior magazine Elle decoration on which more later, I took the shuttle to Via Cletto Arrighi where this year’s design-fashion merging was clearly present by a selection of double souled projects that merge fashion and design, research and craftsmanship, technique and reverie.

GATHERING | From Domestic Craft to Contemporary Process
Lidewei Edelkoort Exhibitions had a beautiful installation with several techniques as pleating, smocking, folding, wrapping, layering, ribboning and draping. The exhibition’s title, Gathering, underlines a plea for humans to overcome tendencies such as greed and lack of respect.
