Natural looks dominate at latest edition of Pitti Filati

Most exhibitors at the yarn show Pitti Filati, June 26 to 28, 2019, had a natural element to their collections or went all out for natural, contemporary looks using muted shades and undyed yarns to soften the tone and soothe the soul. The Pitti project on sustainability included a broad definition from production through a sustainable chain to the use of biological raw materials and the salvage of pre or post-production waste from factories.

Iafil showed ceramic pima wool made of Pima cotton and wool with manmade ceramic crystal thread, absorbing UV-A and –B rays as a skin barrier, and thermal insulation allowing retention of body heat. Stoll showed spectacular 3D effects and referenced trad-African tribal dress with fabrics draped on a model mannikin as avant-garde fashion, accompanied by the extraordinary speed of machines knitting complete garments on the stand.

Filclass Re-Fashion collection used discarded fibers and overstocked materials and garments made into new material, inspired by creative recycling with fancy yarns, with a modern look for seasonless knits. Cotton, mostly with certificates or assurances of sustainable production, including the Better Cotton Initiative also made its presence felt, and linen is now a winter fiber, blended with animal fibers.
