“Positive knit” by Beatrice Brandini

The Fortezza da Basso yesterday opened its doors to Pitti Filati, the event dedicated to the world of yarns and knitwear, showcasing the Spring/Summer 2024 collections, of the main Italian and international spinning mills.

Of all the Pitti events, this is the one I prefer, a forge of creativity and beauty, a niche of exhibitors who prove to be leaders in their own sector, namely that of knitwear.

   

The Woolmark Company –  Luna Rossa

Among the special projects of this edition that of The Woolmark Company together with Prada Luna Rossa, which presents the innovative technical training uniforms that the team will wear during training at the 37th American’s Cup. The uniforms in merino wool, a 100% natural, renewable fiber and recyclable.

   

Süedwollegroup, a group born from the merger involving the Italian companies Biella Yarn by Südwolle, ERWO Italia, HF Filati and Sagil, with the aim of achieving new goals in terms of production flexibility and innovation.

   

Lanificio dell’Olivo and Yarns Be.Mi.Va

Lanificio dell’Olivo, leader in the production of fancy yarns since 1947.

Love, Ecology and Fashion is the BE.MI.VA philosophy, where creativity and eco-sustainability move in the same direction.

Another interesting project is that of CustomEasy under the creative guidance of Maurizio Brocchetto and the set-up by Alessandro Moradei, where the companies present their customization work applied to the world of luxury knitwear, through mannequins on display and at their own stand.

As always every season they find the winning formula not only to set up the stand in a fun and creative way, but also to give away a gadget, handmade at the fair, giving a smile, and much more, to anyone who visits them at the stand.

According to the preliminary data of the Confindustria Moda Study Center for the Italian Fashion System, the trend of the sector is quite positive, with an estimated production value growing by + 28.2%, with exports reaching a figure of + 22.5%. Surely if I have to judge what I have seen there is only to be positive.

Good life everyone!
