PITTI FILATI: PROTEST FOR MORE SUSTAINABILITY

A few days after the Berlin Fashion Week we went to Pitti Filati in Florence where more than 130 exhibitors presented their yarn trends for SS21.

“This time Pitti is talking flags. A rectangle of material, an inlay of lines, colors, and designs. (…) Fabrics in constant movement,they are not unlike the clothing we wear: mobile symbols of identity, belonging, thought, feeling.”

With slogans such as “bees, love and harmony”, “stop pollution” or “say no to plastic” the Pitti calls for more sustainability. Yarn suppliers advertise a transparent supply chain with various labels and sustainable certificates. But of course, the fair has also dealt with the new trend colors, tape optics, dyes and various foil prints.

GETTING INSPIRED AT BERLIN FASHION WEEK

PANORAMA – PREMIUM – NEONYT. This week we are at the Berlin Fashion Week to be inspired by new trends and discover the latest innovations in sustainability. Panorama and Premium showed both, traditional and young brands presenting great colour concepts and their latest AW20 collections. The most striking topics at the Neonyt were “Circular Fashion” and “Waste Treatment”. In general, fair and eco-friendly productions as well as sustainable materials were the common approach for many brands – no matter which fair we visited.

Recap – Fair Trips Summer 19

This summer we made sure to get to know the trends for AW 20/21.
Therefore we visited the trade fairs Pitti Filati and SpinExpo. Our design team discovered stunning collections like eye-catching colours, colour combinations and print effects as well as mesh patterns and cute floral jacquards. This is a little inside of our creative development for you…enjoy!

We are social responsible!

Gettin’ around: London and Antwerp

Always curious – professional training with Stoll

Our knitwear designer travelled to the south of Germany to enlarge her knowledge about different knitting structures and technical innovations at the STOLL headquarter with STOLL.

STOLL is a leader in flat-knitting machine technology. Stoll provides highly sophisticated knitting solutions and is an independent thinker and developer in the section of Fashion & Technology.

Finally the latest knitting hacks are no longer covert and we are already excited to take over some techniques and show many interesting structures in our next collections.

In May it will be continued with another 2-week-workshop.

Stay tuned!

Off to Florence: Flexknit at Pitti Immagine Filati

Only a few days after Spinexpo we delved into global trends and the vivid spirit of the international knitwear industry. At Pitti Immagine Filati the creative foundation for our work is laid. Many different sections contribute to an inspiring surrounding that could be visited from 23^rd to 25^th of January in Florence. Here we took a look into the future through trend exhibitions and yarn innovations.

Whilst at the same time we were travelling into the past by strolling through a massive vintage fashion area. We are happy to share these diverse impressions and the new input now with our customers.

Our new summer collection at Spinexpo Paris

Following a long tradition, Flexknit was exhibiting at Spinexpo in Paris from 16^th to 17^th of January 2019. As this year’s trade fair kick-off, we started the season by showing our new Spring/Summer collections for men and women.
