On September 18, 2025, RUFA will take part in the Rome Future Week with FORMA FABER, an event that intertwines fashion, technology, and sustainability, presenting an innovative fashion project born from the creativity of the new generations.
Thursday, September 18, 8:00 PM – RUFA Pastificio Cerere, Via degli Ausoni 7, Rome – Free admission.
FORMA FABER Roma will transform the spaces of Pastificio Cerere into a «widespread runway», showcasing the capsule collections created by the third-year Sustainable Fashion Design students: Elisabetta Baruffo, Benedetta Bertoncini, Elizia Cinquedita, Leonardo Messina, Luca Gaddini, Virginia Passaro, Davide Amato, Veronica Bellandi, Ana Fernandez, Shana Di Maio, Giulia Manente and Nadia Maggiani.
Three original pieces by each designer, inspired by the city of Rome as a symbol of contrasts: classical and peripheral, aristocratic and popular, cultured and informal.
The result is a collective narrative where personal visions converge into a single contemporary perspective.
Guided by Fashion Design lecturer Gianluca Lera and styled by Andrea Mennella, the students explored aesthetics and sustainability, creating collections that combine creativity with environmental awareness. The concept, developed by Guenda Cermel, Coordinator of the BA in Sustainable Fashion Design, features an immersive setup with augmented reality, carbon footprint analysis, and multimedia content, including an interactive fashion book offering the audience a narrative experience at the intersection of art and technology.
The multimedia project is carried out in collaboration with the students of the RUFA course Multimedia and Game Art – Camilla Di Giovanni, Diletta Maria Nannini, and Simona Sfregola – under the supervision of professors Raffaele Vella and Giulio Pernice.
The set design, curated by Maria Chiara Castelli together with the students, will explore the relationship between space, sustainability, and sensory perception, while the multimedia installation will be created by designer and professor Francesca Gollo.
The initiative reflects RUFA’s educational approach, rooted in creative cross-pollination among the arts, and highlights the collaboration between different departments – in this case Fashion Design, Multimedia and Game Arts, Scenography – as a tool for broadening skills and perspectives. This synergy between languages and disciplines prepares the new generations to imagine the future of the creative world with awareness and originality.
