From Local Roots to Global Codes: Designing the Language of a GLOCAL Movement

with Marianna Fioretti Piemonte

The Workshop

This workshop explores how local identity and cultural heritage can be translated into global fashion narratives. We’ll examine personal and collective values, unpack local themes, and shape a new archetype for an emerging global community.

You’ll create a visual and conceptual “Glocal Manifesto” that brings together insights, aesthetics, and symbolic language, gaining practical tools to read fashion as a cultural practice and translate local stories into concept-driven, globally resonant work.

The Details

In this workshop, we will understand how fashion functions as both a social language and a system of shared imaginaries. We’ll examine how cultural heritage, personal values, and local narratives can be translated into global movements, creating a new visual and conceptual language that resonates with contemporary, ethically aware communities.

Through a combination of research, discussion, and creative exercises, we will:

  • Investigate culturally significant themes within their local context (rituals, aesthetics, social movements, or traditions).

  • Define personal and collective value systems linked to these themes.

  • Translate local ideas into global narratives that inspire belonging, inclusivity, and  shared imagination.

  • Develop a new archetype embodying the emerging global community.

  • Create a visual and conceptual identity for their archetype, including moodboards, imagery, color, and symbols.

By the end of the workshop, everyone will present a “Glocal Manifesto”, synthesizing your research, narrative, values, and visual identity - a tool to inform future creative, editorial, or fashion projects.

Dates:
25 May 2026
5pm-6:30pm CET. Online.

MEET MARIANNA

Marianna works within a fashion university as a lecturer and researcher, operating at the intersection of critical theory, creative practice, and education. Her research focuses on contemporary society: how cultural codes shift, how meaning is produced, how fashion, media, and design respond to social tensions rather than trends. I spend a great deal of time helping students unlearn automatisms and shortcuts, and instead develop depth, context, and position.

In her teaching practice, Marianna mentors students through concept development, from early research and cultural analysis to the shaping of narratives, visual identities, and project logic. She works closely with students on asking better questions before jumping to solutions on building projects that are intellectually grounded, culturally aware, and capable of standing in the world without shouting.
