MILAN, ITALY - FashionCamp is an annual event promoting emerging designers, fashion bloggers and new technologies in fashion. This year's edition took place on 7 and 8 June at the historic Steam Factory (La Fabbrica del Vapore) in Milan.

Highlights of the event included handmade glass jewelry by Contessa Rosafosca, unique dresses by a Bolognese artist Antonella Cinelli and circus-inspired artwork by Patrizia Fratus.

The industrial area around Via Procaccini, which has been now refurbished and utilized for a new purpose, makes an interesting destination itself. So don't forget to put it on your Milan itinerary next time!

DID YOU KNOW?

The Steam Fac­tory (La Fab­brica del Vapore in Ital­ian) is a cul­tural cen­tre designed to show­case the work of young and cre­ative artists, con­nected with Milan City Coun­cil. Work­shops, events and sem­i­nars are organ­ised for young Milanese to get them into con­tact with art, design, archi­tec­ture, new media, pho­tog­ra­phy, lit­er­a­ture and also to dis­cover new languages.

A full annual cal­en­dar of cul­tural exhi­bi­tions is offered every day. The Steam Fac­tory describes itself as a place where new expe­ri­ences and ideas come together. It is a space open to cre­ativ­ity, but at the same time con­nected to the city.

There are already some well estab­lished work­shops located in the build­ing but it’s designed to be a meet­ing point between expe­ri­enced busi­ness oper­a­tors and young tal­ented peo­ple. They will col­lab­o­rate to pro­duce new ideas.

Thou­sands of square metres are ded­i­cated to activ­i­ties, exper­i­ment­ing, devel­op­ing and research­ing. The Steam Fac­tory is giv­ing young peo­ple the oppor­tu­nity to be more well known both nation­ally and internationally.

"Milan’s future has much more in store than just avant-garde skyscrapers. In fact, several of its most interesting architectural projects are focused on refurbishing historic buildings, several of which date back to the period that followed Unification. One such example is “La Fabbrica del Vapore” (The Steam Factory – via Procaccini 4), a workshop established at the end of the 19th Century – the height of the industrial revolution – for the production of railroad cars. Nowadays, this evocative space is a highly sought-after location for cultural events: it hosts art exhibitions, workshops, photographic studios, and cultural initiatives. The Steam Factory is a stimulating venue not just in space but in concept: a place to manufacture trains to cross the newly united Italy, it now generates culture." - Where® Magazine
