Colour and fashion

Who invents the most evident colours appearing in the windows and assortments of clothing and accessories at the beginning of the season? who imagines them? Who introduces them?

Since ancient times, people have studied the shades of nature that surrounded them and have obtained colours from plants, leaves, fruits and bark, molluscs, insects, and minerals to dye their clothes and everyday objects. This is how over the centuries “taste for colour” has been developed, nurtured, and personalized.

Meet the designers

The role of the textile designer is central to guaranteeing excellence in the production of fabrics in Prato. Starting from collecting and analysing macro-trends, in terms of colours and materials, and passing through their confirmation in the fashion shows and windows of the great fashion players, their task is to create fabric collections that with constant updating, express the identity and production specialization of the company they work for.

This continuous work of creative research, their training background and technical experience in continuous contact with the various processing phases, ensure that they are able to propose unique and innovative collections and products, and at the same time are also the point of reference for the client company’s style and / or purchasing department to study fabrics tailored to their needs and collections.
