Today, the textile market offers an enormous variety of different fabrics. Over the last few years we have seen a great use of synthetic or mixed fabrics at the expense of the natural ones, both at tailor-made and industrial level.

Building a collection is always a challenging goal for those who work in the fashion industry. Beside the intrinsic difficulty in understanding in advance what are the trends of the next season there the end-users who no longer have the classic boundaries dictated by age and / or geographic differences and are connoted for the constant change of preferences.

Recently we have visited the Lanificio Conte of Schio, today a historic archeological industrial building, established since 1757. The space, in addition to hosting exhibitions and events, allows to view machines used for the fabrication of fabrics before electricity's advent.

This year MUNICH FABRIC START, a fair that offers an international platform for textile and fashion industry, was held in Munich from September 5 to 7 2017 and it was focused on trends and new developments in the fashion sector world-wide.
