Since the ancient history, borders represent the end of the known in terms of society, custom, language and tradition.
Moving beyond borders means losing our own security and pushing ourย normal propension to risk. In this peculiar moment, the new borders are the walls of our houses and the desire to go out and interact with others have become a necessity, essential and inevitable.
Crossing borders generate aย shared culture, aย network of contactsย that results in aย new fashion community style, where innovation comes from the combination of new needs and the meeting of different cultures.
Winter 21/22ย is a long journey, which does not separate us from our own customs. A continuous mix ofย classic,ย folkloristic style revisited in an avant-garde way, thanks to innovation.
Knitwear, as interpreted by our Art Directorย Elisabetta Scarpini, goes beyond the borders without losing its authenticity.
Modern knit technologyย is combined with yarn of new generation in a reassuring way.
The first instinctive and artistic representation of cultures are theย Jacquards.
Fromย ethnic-inspired Jacquards coats, which protect us from the prying eyes of others travelers to complex jacquard tapestries with a large wovenย floral design or a small and geometric design.
Always keeping a balance between tradition and discovery,ย different knit gaugesย on the same pattern recreate a familial handmade look.
The taste is urban and informal. Irregular lines defy classic trends and canons, without getting definitively untied.
This bi-directional path of fragmented movements is represented by evolved chevrons and zigzag stitches.
Deep andย dusty colors of our land of origin gradually lighten up on the way.
The true strong interpreters of this mood are raw and thick materials:ย Shetland,ย merinos woolย andย alpaca.
Traditional blendsย are however remastered to move towards the contemporary world through the increased attention of spinning mills to theย organicityย andย sustainabilityย of the fibers.
