The WASABI collection was inspired by the effervescence of the streets of Japan, taking streetwear elements and adapting them to my own clothing style. The materials used are fur, lycra, viscose, and plastic. To give an interesting texture to the material, I intervened with textile applications, embroidery and decorative techniques. The message of the collection suggests invincibility and self-confidence when you choose to be different from the rest.

My collection is entitled “The BRIDES”. The inspiration for the creation of these clothes came from the traditional dress of the women of Mirdita. More clearly from the “xhoka” of young girls. Its material is white felt that is boldly contrasted by black cord and gold threads.
I have conceived this collection as a work of art. The main goal was to turn the motif into clothing. The materials I used for their realization are: industrial felt, tulle and spiral cords. As for the colors, they are: black, white, gold, silver, and nude. Also, this collection is for the female gender and for the 20-30 age group. Their typology is based on theatrical clothing, evening-gown and red carpet.
In each outfit, I have tried to stay as close as possible to the folkloric and modern motifs at the same time. Also, in some clothes I have interwoven a western element, taken from the “Spring-Summer 2024” fashion show of the brand “Mugler”, specifically it is the element of the scarf that extends from the hair of the models and stretches behind them in a magnificent way, and that in my case I have identified it as “veil”.

My name is Francesco Berati and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Arts in Tirana, the Atelier of Fashion & Textile. The title of my fashion project, also my bachelor diploma is ROOTS.
I excavated my origin through generations in the area where I belong, the City of Elbasan known in roman times as Skampis, where via Egnatia passes through together with the beautiful river of Shkumbin.
I brought together my childhood memories, my grandparents’ old traditional dresses with all the research I made at the ethnographic museum of the city!
Together with motifs I chose from studying the embroidered folk dresses I decided to put texts from old traditional songs of the area.
The way I bring my works at the collection is based on the embroidered motifs changing the dimensions and using a two dimensional technique where I play with the relief and the monumentality of the dress. My Inspiration was in the traditional Clothing of city Elbasan, “Xhube me Dragua”, Sako”, Vest of men and from the women clothing ” Vest of women”. The material that i had choose was straw sack colour brown. The method that i use was TUFTING GUN. To realise my dresses I used the Tufting technique and to print the lyrics I used silk screen printing.
