The contemporary laboratory has been recalling industry professionals, creatives, and consumers who are meeting to share hybrid experiences that encourage dialogue, experimentation, and cross-pollination between disciplines.

Participants include prominent figures and companies including denim guru Adriano Goldschmied, Pioneer Denim, Stripes Of-F Road, Gimmi Jeans, Lucia Chain, Davide Ceccarelli, Emina, Anna Galaganenko, Tessitura La Colombina, Oceano Oltreluce, Elena Guerreschi, and GGT.

The event involves the Botticino Restoration School and occasions where artistic dance mixes with sporting disciplines such as capoeira and jiu-jitsu, in collaboration with the Centro di Capoeira Milano Cordao de Ouro and Jiu-Jitsu Brazil’s L’Accademia.

For its last two days, the event’s program is getting even denser and richer with discussions on topics such as sustainability, innovation, and training during discussions such as the talk “Denim Reimagined” as part of the “Education, Innovation & Fashion Ecosystems and Denim Reimagined” series hosting denim guru Adriano Goldschmied and denim expert insider Christian Reca, Pioneer Denim.
