A day dedicated to sustainable lifestyles aboard the Repower electric boat for the pre-opening press conference of Venice Fashion Week 2022
Venice Fashion Week, held in Venice from October 19 to 29, is an event curated by Venezia da Vivere. Established in 2013, it promotes sustainable fashion, high craftsmanship, emerging designers, and Venice as the ideal city to experiment with and promote sustainable lifestyles.
With the aim of contributing to the public debate on sustainable tourism and innovation, Venice Fashion Week is partnering for the first time with Repower, one of the major players in the energy market and sustainable mobility, including the nautical sector.
Tuesday, October 18 is the Day dedicated to sustainable lifestyles. Aboard the silent Repowere electric boat, one of Repower’s first full-electric motorboats, institutions, industry stakeholders, and journalists will be involved to explore new, sustainable, and innovative ways to enjoy Venice, charting the course for the tourism of the future.
The pre-opening of Venice Fashion Week 2022 will be attended for the press conference by, among others, Simone Venturini, Councilor for Tourism and Economic Development of the City of Venice, Paola Mar, Councilor for Territorial Promotion, and Fabrizio D’Oria, Chief Operating Officer of Vela S.p.A.
In the afternoon, the Repower electric boat will serve as the stage for a meeting between stakeholders from the Venetian hospitality and high craftsmanship sectors: excellence that will meet to discuss new production models focused on sustainability and the balance between innovation and identity, thereby contributing to a new model of tourism for the Venice of the future.
The press conference and talk will be punctuated by conscious tourism experiences, such as visits to two historic ateliers that are admirable examples of Venetian high craftsmanship: Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua and Fornace Orsoni 1888, where guests can hear the testimony of entrepreneurs who have successfully innovated their businesses while remaining faithful to their traditions.
Repower is an electricity operator promoting projects related to sustainability with a particular focus on the city of Venice: this approach includes its presence alongside the 78th and 79th Venice Film Festival, during which it transformed the Lido into Italy’s most advanced laboratory for sustainable mobility.
In addition to the boat, various sustainable mobility solutions were brought, used, and installed, demonstrating that many reliable options already exist today to reduce the impact of one’s travels and thus become a model for inspiration.
The other side of Repower’s contribution concerns the expertise gained over decades of activity in the field of energy efficiency, a particularly relevant topic appreciated by visitors who increasingly want to reduce their carbon footprint when traveling.
The event will be covered online on the Instagram accounts of @veneziadavivere and @venicefashionweek and on the social media channels of Repower Italia and HomoMobilis by Repower.
