From stylistic suggestions to actual production, from yarns to fabrics, in a “producer to producer” dialogue along the supply chain. This is the idea feeding the exclusive innovation which will be launched during Filo63: a Capsule Collection achieved by “translating” into fabric plots the contents of “Collages” – the Dialoghi Creativi of the 63rd edition of Filo suggested by Gianni Bologna (Responsible for Filo’s style and creativity).

Specifically, Filo Capsule Collection proposes fabric prototypes designed by Rossano Bisio – Fabric Designer – being inspirated by “Collages” – the product development proposals carried out by Gianni Bologna for Filo63. The fabrics are produced by using exhibitors’ yarns, with special attention to materials. Rossano Bisio explains: “The aim is turning Filo’s product development proposals – that have been presented in a descriptive and multimedia way so far – into real fabrics included in a real collection, by using those techniques considered to be among the most representative ones of the great Italian manufacturing tradition.”

Paolo Monfermoso, responsible for Filo, declares: “Nowadays, the textile-apparel industry needs to highlight and to strengthen technical skills, that are at risk becoming weak and underestimated. Through Filo's Capsule Collection, we want to help reverse the trend and we do it by introducing something totally innovative within the international exhibition panorama: a project, where our exhibition starts its production, offering textile professionals actual tools aiming at stimulating creativity and increasing innovation research in our industry. Embodying those characteristics, which have always distinguished Filo, the project has been implemented thanks to the strong collaboration among all those participating in the exhibition in their different roles.”
