EXPO Milano 2015
Slovenia was represented with its own pavilion and corporate image for clothing. A clothing image was formed by Assist. Prof. S. Šterman. Garments, which were developed and produced by the company Moda Mi&Lan, Gornji Petrovci, were enriched with unique fashion accessories – lace in the shape of the silhouette of Slovenia, as designed by the students of the Department of Textile Materials and Design within the Laboratory of Clothing Engineering, Physiology, and Construction of Garments.
Unique fashion accessories, which contribute to style perfection, were made using the air lace technique, which is based on sewing using the thread and a special nonwoven textile structure. The motifs on the laces, which were substantially based on the slogan of Expo 2015 Food for the Planet, Energy for Life and the slogan I feel Slovenia, Green, Active, Healthy, were natural resources, such as rivers, forests, cultivated areas, regions and cities with local peculiarities and other motifs, characteristic of Slovenia.
The laces are composed of countless threads that represented the relationships and cooperation between people. With its own structure symbolically representing nature, sprouting and plants, which are important link in the food chain for a healthy life.
