Festival

 

How are future lifestyles going to be? How much of what is taking place today in the world of fashion, design, urban projects, technology will change our life and consumption behaviours? These are the answers a number of businessmen, architects, fashion designers, artists, intellectuals and trend forecasters will try to answer at the first edition of Capri Trendwatching Festival which will be held in Capri from October 15th to 17th 2009.

 

From the trend guru Li Edelkoort  to the sci-fi author Bruce Sterling, from the avant-garde designer Walter Van Beirendonck to the ethical entrepreneur Marco Roveda, from the sustainably committed architect  Mario Cucinella to the photographer and film director Francesco Jodice, to the streetstyle anthropologist Ted Polhemus: for three days, Capri - a place par excellence for a learned and erudite reflexion, a space for imagination and intellectual design – will be the ideal meeting point for anybody who will want to discuss the present to sketch the outlines of the future.
With the support of the Capri Foundation, this year’s edition of the Festival will be devoted to emergent trends in lifestyles and will be developing over a syllabus of round tables, meetings and lectures.
