Coloriage x gOOOders

Come discover the newcollection, join the workshops and talks hosted by Coloriage’s social tailoring lab at gOOOders, Viale della Liberazione 15, in Portanuova.

Before diving into the three days of events, let us introduce Coloriage: a social tailoring workshop founded in Rome that brings together ethics, fashion, and sustainability. Coloriage offers training and job opportunities to migrants, refugees, and people in vulnerable situations. By upcycling unsold high-end garments and combining them with African fabrics, Coloriage creates unique pieces that tell stories of inclusion and cultural exchange. Recognized by the UNHCR with the Welcome Award for its commitment to hospitality and integration, Coloriage collaborates with institutions, fashion schools, and community centers, becoming a true reference point for social innovation.
