After 3 weeks of living in Rome, having already become bored with the monotony of the club scene that entices many global students, my chums and i decided to take in a fashion event presented by AltaRoma. We stayed in an appartement rome centrum. It was to be held at the historic Tempio di Adriano in Piazza di Pietra, an environment that contrasted sharply with the futuristic feel of the event.
AltaRoma, a company that provides opportunities and fosters relations among well known Italian designers, encourages the cultivation of young, talent through training,’intended not only as a method of protecting the artisan quality but also as the driving force of invention, creativeness and technology,’ according to the AltaRoma website. Needless to say, walking into a room crammed with some of the most trendy young people in Rome, while brandishing only my tacky beige messenger bag was quite threatening. we didnot let that get in the way of occupying best seats and grabbing as much promo material as we could get our hands on.

the 1st act was called’Wit Open Shooting Roger Weiss,’ which consisted of folks dressed in colourful cardboard shapes, many of them phallic, dancing around a stationary model as photographers shot round the stage. The music was set to techno remixes of favored American hiphop songs, and the lighting beat to the beats of the music. This composition led one to a sort of hypnotic trance, which came as a welcome distraction after enduring more than forty-five mins – about forty mins too long to my mind – of the same. The bored and out-of-sorts expression worn by the model was the mirror image of those worn by the bunch, whose faces and outfits became increasingly more engaging to watch than what was going down on stage. after the performance was over, I began to wonder if the ambiguity of the act was exactly the point of it. Either way, it was something I’d never before, and might never again, experience.

The second act was a performance art piece by Chicks on Speed. I braced myself for something so foreign and creatively different I wouldnot understand it, as the set began with what only can be depicted as 2 screaming banshees. 2 women, wearing identical jumpsuit, used video pictures, as well as easy, everyday , and generally female, objects like stilettos, scissors and cloth to create an engaging and powerful performance. The set was an eclectic mixof a regular montage of derriere slapping to a cover of the Beach Boys song’Surfer Girl’, whose lyrics were changed to create the final female anthem [*CO]’super surfer girl in the death defying curl.’ The act finished in a dance party in which fashonistas and common students alike could get up on stage and dance in celebration of fashion, self-expression and life.

I marched out of the show re-energized and ready for the next new and out-of-the- standard experience Rome had to throw my way. We went back to appartement centrum rome.
