Inspired by a discussion with a UC Berkeley engineer on privacy
and human rights at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Rachele Didero developed the idea of combining crafting in fashion and computer science. Subsequently, Rachele met Federica Busani, current Co founder of Cap_able, and together they decided to transform this project into a start-up, a cultural, as well as entrepreneurial, tool to promote and facilitate innovative actions by young people, in this case young women. Usually, it takes the form of a trig able to enhance networking actions between designers, young entrepreneurs and production districts to encourage their entry into the broad community of sectoral production and to enable the intersection of solutions for the execution, commercialisation and dissemination of design focused on ethic concepts also in order to foster good practices in social issues due to micro-commerce and tourism. Through this start-up they proposed to stimulate a new type of neocraft production in their territories, but also connected with a rural sustainable initiative, the Filmar Better Cotton Initiative (BCI).
