Mood EXOTICALL by Beatrice Brandini
There are many reasons to visit Pitti Filati, but among all of them the essential one is to see the area dedicated to the Research Area, a tribute to creativity and absolute quality.
D-tale is the theme of the new Research Area for Autumn – Winter 2026 – 27, curated by Angelo Figus, Carrie Hollands and Manuela Sandroni, which marks a return to the culture of dressing and wardrobe. Details are important and make the difference, surfaces, models, packaging technique are indispensable aspects for the success of a beautiful product. D-tale is therefore a journey into the details of the history of fashion, which is divided into three sub-themes BLUNIFORM, EXOTICALL and CAFFÈ DE LÀ PAIX

BLUNIFORM is the first theme, theme of uniforms and blue. Theme of kindness, of natural elegance, never ostentatious. The palette is in shades of blue and light blue, with a thousand shades. The mood is that of the authentic navy, of old-style fishermen.

The second theme is EXOTICALL, a theme that explores the concept of exoticism, the fascination of the different and above all of what is unknown. The desire to know new worlds, discover landscapes and cultures, but also people and stories. The exotic as wonder and uniqueness. The chromatic range is that of uncontaminated nature, with all the shades of green. But also of warmer tones such as colonial ones.

Finally, the last theme, called CAFFÈ DE LÀ PAIX. It is the theme of emotions, of joy and sadness, of fear and courage, of love… The emotionality that makes us vulnerable but also unique human beings. The range of colors has shades of burgundy red and purple, but also of coffee and terracotta.
Interesting, as always, the Lineapiù stand that this year reaches an important milestone, blowing out 50 candles. An Italian story made of passion, creativity and quality. A unique product, an international leader in knitting yarns. When, with the word Made in Italy, we want to express a concept of excellence like this.
I’ll stop here, in the next few days I’ll complete my photographic review of what I believe to be one of the most beautiful fairs in the sector in the world.
Good life to everyone!
