In addition to observing the collections of the most important spinning mills, here you can admire (because when you see certain artifact, this is the emotion they arouse), the trends of tomorrow, told in the new Research Space, but also the new proposals of the special areas such as Knitclub and CustomEasy, and a real vintage offer for lovers of this genre with the Vintage Selection display.

I’ll start immediately with the Research Space curated by Angelo Figus and Nicola Miller. For Spring-Summer 2025 the theme is MILESTONE. The stone symbol of the next season, emblem of the strength of nature, of energy. Milestone which since Roman times has marked the distance between one mile and another, a metaphor for travel, with a new awareness that traveling will focus on capturing all the beauty and amazement of what we see and surrounds us.

CONCRETE, sophisticated and mineral.
The concreteness that allows us to be fulfilled and effective in terms of expression and action.
TACTILE, the key word is vibrant. The tactility that makes us be understood and perceived. The tactile sense that unites the places linked to this theme.

FLUID, a temperature range from cold to hot. Fluidity, harmony, which we also find in the places protagonists of this theme.

The Customeasy project is back, designed to delve deeper into the different aspects of customization in an increasingly broader and more interesting exhibition itinerary. Textile machines, special washes applied to knitwear, embroidery and finishing, cuts and applications create extremely creative and innovative garments.

When customization becomes luxury we talk about CustomEasy, a project under the guidance of Maurizio Brocchetto and with the installation by Nicolò Bernardini. In this space companies can present their customization work applied to the world of luxury knitwear.

This is just a little taste. This great fair, in fact, despite its small size (if compared to its bigger brothers Pitti Uomo and Bimbo), truly offers countless ideas, there are so many beautiful and noteworthy things.
I will continue the story of Pitti Filati in the next few days.
Good life to everyone!
