Refashioning Techniques for a Sustainable Wardrobe

About the video: From garment to project
Overview
“In this lesson, I want to show you my creative process: what are the graphics and styles from which I take inspiration for my work and how I like to look to the past to create something contemporary but timeless. When I create a garment, as well as when I think of a re fashion project, it is always essential for me to think also of combinations and overlaps with the clothes I already have in the wardrobe. Although I love black and neutral colors, I like to surround myself with bright colors and take inspiration for combinations from 1960s prints, researching online or in vintage magazines. Furthermore, I will teach you how to build a moodboard from which to draw to create your personal style and, together, we will analyze the sweater undergoing the transformation to put our project on paper.”
In this video lesson Gaia Segattini addresses the topic: From garment to project, which is part of the Domestika online course: Refashioning Techniques for a Sustainable Wardrobe. Learn to give old and forgotten garments a second chance through basic refashioning techniques and minimize your environmental impact.

“From clothing to our project I will now show you my creative process, the styles and graphics that influence my work and how I like to look at the past to create contemporary and timeless things.

I love overlapping, pla...”

A course by Gaia Segattini
Gaia Segattini is an Italian fashion designer who grew up between the hills and the sea in the region of Marche. She fell in love with fashion as a little girl and, thanks to her mother, learned to sew and knit from an early age. As a young woman, she decided to take that passion to a professional level and enrolled in the University of Urbino to study fashion design. After graduating, she worked as a consultant for different sportswear and streetwear brands and wrote for magazines like Glamour Italia until she finally started her own blog: Vendetta Uncinetta.
She moved from her blog to Instagram where she built up a significant network of contacts that eventually led her to organizing festivals centered around independent artisan crafts such as Weekendoit in Ancona and the knitting section ""Cucito su di te"" at the Abilmente fair. Her blog, coupled with these events, opened the doors to working with major companies including Enel, Ikea, BMW, and Stefanel. In 2018, she founded Gaia Segattini Knotwear, her own brand devoted to sustainable handcrafted knitwear made in Italy.
