Sala Conferenze del Mart, Rovereto

Il chiodo d’oro. Come si intercettano le tendenze? Conversazione con un trend setter

Alessandro Garofalo, Domenico Fucigna

In recent years, companies have resorted to the figure of the Cool Hunter or trend hunter, a fashion expert, a communicator, an observer. A person capable of spotting, well in advance, tastes, lifestyle novelties and social nuances.

But how is this profession practised? What are the working methods? How does a new trend emerge? How do you observe, how do you connect, how do you give meaning to what is happening? We will take a journey into the maps of the imagination.

Alessandro Garofalo, physicist, and Domenico Fucigna, founder of TEA Trends©, will talk about this in a dialogue accompanied by video incursions by Luca Cattoi and a double solo by Flavio Zanon on bass and double bass.

Alessandro Garofalo, a physicist, has been in the innovation sector for forty years. He is the founder and owner of ‘Garofalo & Idee Associate’, a lecturer in Innovation at the Cuoa Foundation, and an adjunct professor in Creativity and Marketing Innovation at the University of Verona, the Holden School in Turin and the Luiss Business School.

Domenico Fucigna, futurologist, product innovation expert and creator of the TEA Trends method, lecturer in Advertising Strategies, Corporate Communication and Public Relations at Ciels Campus, UniPd and UniBo.


In collaboration with Mart - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto.
