A journey through fashion, design and radicality to explore new forms of expression

From 3 April to 22 May 2025, the former theatre of Oriuolo will host Vestirsi è facile / Nuove forme radicali, a project by Dario Bartolini - Archizoom that marks the beginning of Campo Aperto - Sull'immaginare oltre i confini, the new exhibition programme of IED Firenze that will have many forms, workshops, lectures, screenings, talks and exhibitions.

The exhibition and workshop reinterpret with a contemporary look Vestirsi è facile - Dressing Design, the historic experiment of the Archizoom group, transforming clothing into a space for self-design and criticism of the logics of mass production. The project involves fashion, design and communication students in a research path on contemporary radicalism, led by Dario Bartolini, Pino Brugellis and some IED professors.

Through the interweaving of historical memory and new visions, the exhibition becomes the manifesto of a school model that offers students concrete tools to reinvent the future. The workshop meetings with Dario Bartolini become occasions for collective experimentation, in which thought expands without constraints, opening up new paths.

More than an exhibition, Vestirsi è facile / Nuove forme radicali forms is an open field of creative forces and tensions, which feeds on memory to generate new possibilities, renewing itself through the gaze of the new generations.
