VALENCIA, Spain — October 6, 2022 — The President of Jeanologia, Enrique Silla, has conveyed that “the future of fashion and design is to align beauty and the planet” during the inauguration of “Future of Fashion”, the international congress on the sustainable transformation of fashion that is being held in Valencia (Spain) on October 5th and 6th with Valencia being designated the World Design Capital 2022 by the World Design Organization.
For Silla, “the designer of the future is a technological artisan with a scientific mind who joins forces with cutting-edge technology to create a better world, who manages to design and manufacture products in a sustainable way while maintaining the spirit and soul of an artisan.”
Likewise, he stressed that “with the tools of the future we are no longer going to collaborate with scissors, but with robots, we will no longer use canvas, but the tablet, we will no longer use water to imbue colors into garments, but we’ll use nanobubbles, among other technologies for garment finishing such as lasers”.
In his opinion, “design is not only form and function, but it is also the planet”. Therefore, he has encouraged designers to create a better world with products that do not pollute.
In its support of the World Design Capital of Valencia, Jeanologia has contributed to the promotion of this congress in which prominent international fashion figures will participate such as Christiane Dolva and Maria Bystedt, from the H&M Foundation; Christopher Raeburn (the British designer who has won the Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards “Brand of the Year” award two years running); Alice Bah Kuhnke, member of the European Parliament; professors from Glasgow and the London School of Fashion; and Fernando Cardona, head of BrainBox at Jeanologia, among others.
