The exhibition, held on the occasion of the inauguration of Punto Sostenibilità project showcases 18 paper dresses created for the foundation by the paper artist Caterina Crepax. Caterina’s work celebrates the marriage between creativity, art and sustainability.

The artworks were displayed on sustainable Bonaveri Bplast mannequins, supporting the promotion of responsible fashion design.

Mr Masotti’s work at the foundation supports ‘Made in Italy’ fashion through consultancy and training activities. Punto Sostenibilità is another valuable project conceived and built by Mr Masotti to provide fashion industries with a collection of selected eco materials, from fabrics to packaging solutions.
