“We face a world of accelerating change, where conflicting universes merge.
A new liberating creativity will help us to find a harmonious balance between technology and heritage, with a contemporary vision.
Let’s research innovative yarns and apply updated knitting technologies. Let’s enrich our proposals introducing handcrafted details, accessories and processes, expressing uniqueness and exuberance.
Embroidery, crocheting, overdyeing, overprinting, felting, brushing, embossing, needle punching, laddering, laser cutting, and much more…
Let’s build a positive symbiosis between machine and man, an intimate association of contradictory but still matching elements, respecting sustainability and paving the way to a better future.”
