Fashion Design BFA

Menswear, Womenswear, Bags

I AM TEODORO FERNANDEZ PERFETTI, I AM 22, I AM BORN IN AREZZO (TUSCANY) IN ITALY AND I HAVE MEXICAN ORIGINS, TO WHICH I AM VERY ATTACHED. SINCE I WAS A KID I HAVE ALWAYS DRAWN, AND WHEN I WAS SEVEN I HAVE STARTED TO PLAY GUITAR AND THEN MUSIC HAS BECOME ONE OF MY BIGGEST PASSION. AROUND 15 I APPROACHED TO THE FASHION WORLD, UNTIL WHEN I HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT WORKING INSIDE IT WOULD BE REALLY UNIQUE AND SPECIAL. SO AT UNIVERSITY I SUBSCRIBE MYSELF AT ACCADEMIA ITALIANA IN FLORENCE TO FOLLOW FASHION DESIGN COURSE, WHICH I WILL FINISH IN JUNE 2024. SOME OF MY FAVORITE DESIGNERS ARE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, ALESSANDRO MICHELE, JOHN GALLIANO AND RAF SIMONS, BUT I THINK I COULD LEARN FROM EVERYONE, EVERY KIND OF STYLE AND EVERY DIFFERENT CULTURE. FOR THIS REASON TRAVELLING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXTRA-ACTIVITIES, WITH TRY NEW THINGS AND WATCHING MOVIES. ONE DAY I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN MY BRAND BUT ALSO BECOMING A CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF A GREAT LABEL COULD BE IMPRESSIVE. IN THE LAST YEARS I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND TATTOOING, IN PARTICULAR WITH THE OLD TECHNIQUE HAND-POKE.

Art of Time: Tornare al Tempo Indigeno

Category: Design

Competitions: Africa, International

This collection is based on the philosophical concept of Time, which was created during the history of the world. These garmets are talking about the need to resume the indigenous cultures and traditions of the past, always linked to Mother Nature Pachamama; learning in our present, to create a better future through art. The leather is a amterial that was used a lots in the old cultures and indigenous populations, infact they sacrificed animals as offer to gods and then they took those skins to create garments and objects. For these clothes i have used only deadstock bovine leather, took from a bag factory, which would have throw it away.
