Su producción está vinculada al movimiento denominado slow fashion que se contrapone al modelo industrial y masivo. “Nuestra indumentaria está hecha a conciencia y con ética en toda la cadena productiva. Además, está realizada con materiales de muy buena calidad”. En este sentido, Bianchi considera que “estamos obligados a generar este cambio en todos los ámbitos. Por una cuestión vinculada con el medio ambiente hay que tomar conciencia y sí o sí tenemos que reciclar y reutilizar”.

The Fall / Winter 014 brings a collection developed on the concept of “SLOW DESIGN” and the role of colour as an element that optimizes the evolution of our style at all times of the day. The contrast of elitist neutral and natural shades with casual colour generates a harmonic shock, which results in balance.

This collection reflects a distinguished, refined, feminine and modern, woman, who finds in our soft garments the perfect item to wear for any occasion at any time of the day or night: Casual and High Couture knits.

The appearance of increasingly lightweight, fluffy garments; long typologies, loose and oversized; generates a clean and timeless look that lasts over time with subtle design details. Cutting-edge techniques combined with traditional weaving techniques. Fine gauge yarns intended to be a wildcard easy to wash and quick drying.

We also introduce highly elaborated hand-made garments: Irish stitches, cable and twist stitches, bobbles, crochet zigzags and jacquards, among others; enhance textures at their best.

Woven pieces designed not only from the point of view of shape, but also of texture and colour as part of a limited edition collection. We use traditional textile techniques to transmit culture value by recovering manual skills. Through the use of ancient Toba weaving techniques, we recover indigenous culture, tradition and identity: loom-woven pieces in a single colour, without figure-background contrast.

Values such as care for the environment, ethics in the entire production chain and fair trade, are a constant that is translated in the use of ancient techniques and recovered leftover production yarn as a source of raw materials to avoid generating waste. All these practices shared by the Slow Design Movement create products and materials that have a low impact on the environment as well as care about the wellbeing of the animals that provide the materials.

The importance of creating a product “made in Argentina” to support national industry.

Types of woven garments: maxi capes, trenches, waistcoats, dresses, bags, woven shirts and blouses, straight cut military coats and lightweight ultra long overcoats, extra long and mini skirts, maxi-sweaters and neo-ponchos, vests, turtleneck and cowl neck sweaters.

Accessories: hats, scarves, boots knitted with extra hand-made stitches, shawls, knitted scarves, pashminas and neck warmers of great prominence to overlay on clothes.

Materials: The charm of super soft materials with a powder feeling, sparkling, warm, ultra light and fluffy: Angoras (rabbit fur), Merino wool and vaporous Mohair (goat hair), in their ultra light and blended versions to guarantee extreme softness.

The Shiny Look!: it is given by the use of Lurex and studs, implemented in matching or metallic tones. These become the “Stars of the Collection” giving discrete and suggestive mirror and metallic glitter flashes that can be worn during the day.

Jacquard and 3D textures: a great volume of stitches generates 3D effects, animal print and 60’s style jacquards are a must in the collection, zigzag effects and ultra feminine lace effects that generate very subtle transparencies.

Constants: Fringes, pompons, covered buttons, patches, braided ties with tassels, buttons and buckles in bronze or pewter, stripes, colour blocks, transparencies, hand-made textures, zigzag patterns and patchwork, giant oversize XXL and maxi sweaters, flashy collars, jacquards, full knitted garments, woven beads, accentuated shoulders with epaulets emphasized with metallic studs.

Neutral Colours: nude, pink skin, earthy shades, beige, camel, mink, deep grey and black in harmony with vibrant colours such as orchid, fuchsia, lime, pistachio, terracotta, burgundy, dark red, blue, emerald green, fluo pink, coral and lemon lime; which leave their traces of summer silently fading away.

Each model belongs to a limited edition series to ensure an increasingly customized and high added-value product in terms of design and craftsmanship.
