Gruppocinque, leading Company for woven plain, piece-dyed and jacquards High quality standards, produces fabrics made with high creativity, based on selected raw materials and the first Italian producer to present its latest Newlife based collection for Autumn/Winter 16-17. The Newlife collection is a chemical free textile produced from plastic bottles.
This collection is dedicated to women’s contemporary fashion aesthetics under the Gruppocinque label where colour is king, and the fabrics have the heartbeat of the season at their core, the manufacturer reports.
This line features new wool and silk combinations with Newlife in textures, double cloths, reversibles, astrakhan and faux knit structures.
In the new collection, which is divided into two lines – main line and a new, super slick, genderless technical concept called Swing, fleece effect finishes mix with geometric jacquards and micro patterned silk blends, while tessellated marocains and classic checked settings create movement and drama.
It features the latest technical research in new finishes, touches and skin-feel that have been given an unusual optic through unique yarn dye combinations and new structures research.
Instead of the common plainness of piece dyed fabrics a new and subversive 3D reflective subtlety is created through a balanced contrast of yarns, lusters and colours. Using ultra-fine nylons with super-light cottons and silks, new super-sophisticated effects emerge, that are at once unique, subtle and rich.
This new perception of colours combines naturals with eco-smarts and techno coolness with an ambition that celebrates and safeguards the idea of diversity and difference, the company reports.
This season, a new cool aesthetic emerges from a true Italian lifestyle taste for modern living, through four strong Metropolitan looks with colour accents on a modulated neutral ground, and a smart contemporary interpretation of nature re-imagined through a new mix of colours, textures and pattern.
