Lineapiù. I was enchanted by these knitted dresses made Lineapiù yarns in collaboration with the knitwear factory Miles. In addition to the objective beauty of these garments, it is also a technological revolution in the world of the yarns through the NeTTA technology – New Technologiy fot textile application – or technology 3D printers to fashion industry. You can print knitwear items in 3D, as well as create custom clothes using the technologies of “body scanning”, the processing of the head directly on the three-dimensional model of the person. Exceptional!
