Magazzino 6, aule 1.2, 1.4, 1.6

Francesco Saverio Vantin, founder and designer Gimmi Jeans 
Seminar organised and introduced by Lucia Rosin in the context of Fashion Material Design Studio

Francesco Saverio Vantin is an Italian designer and researcher exploring the intersection between material, culture, and awareness. After experiences in luxury fashion houses, he founded Gimmi, an independent project born from the desire to reconnect design to the origin of matter. His work combines craftsmanship, responsibility, and storytelling, transforming hemp and other natural fibers into a reflection on contemporary design and ethics.
Gimmi is an ongoing research on natural fibers, especially hemp, and their cultural, social, and aesthetic potential. The project follows a complete journey “from field to fabric,” involving local farmers, artisans, and researchers in Veneto.
