“The innocence of the wall is an statement, a statement that this year introduces Fashion at IUAV. It's not a sticky label to attract attention, but it's the story of a way of being, working, studying, watching the world.”

For three years the students have been working in two red brick warehouses in front of the Canale della Giudecca, a panoramic view that embraces a non-stereotypical Venice, but rather a Venice that holds together different souls - the one crystallized in the past and the one that wants to challenge the future - in which, the university is set up as a kind of hinged territory that expresses, the complexity of the present. The view from warehouses, looks out onto thecanale, which defines the port area with all its functions, it has become for the students a metaphor of a way of being; an attitude, that sees within the boundaries, not a limit or a closure, but rather assumes it as a place that can relate to differences, to understand diversity - permanent questions. The introduction of the title The Innocence of the Wall, borrowed from Simone Gobbo's thesis in Architecture and Design at the University of Genoa, seemed to be the best way for the community of teachers and students, to reveal a way of being inside things, both fragile and stubborn.

“Tzniut, in Hebrew means "modesty", it is the privacy of a lifestyle that translates into the clothing of orthodox Jews. From my memories at the Jewish school, emerges figures of women and girls, covering stockings, knees and elbows and with wigs. Tzniut recounts these feelings, intimacy of memories, and Jewish rules. The black dress, the white shirt and the waistcoat, borrowed from the orthodox male wardrobe, become the basis for shaping new shapes.”

In theme with the title of the show Pino Mussolino, president of the Port of Venice and Chioggia, points out that walls, nets or any other barrier are innocent on their own, that is, that they do not have a positive or negative connotation, it all depends on how you look at them.

“3434 km is the distance between Tehran and Venice. The project is born from the experience of a group of friends moving from one city to another in search of a personal evolution. Each outfit is designed for the person wearing it and wants to represent its identity. Men's classic fabrics, linked to a Western fashion, combine with Chador and Kapanak, embroideries and volumes, telling memories, maladies, traces and experiences.”
