Proud to announce our latest partnership with LANIFICIO BOTTOLI Bottoli, whose roots date back to 1861, is one of the very few fully integrated woolen mills, managing the entire process from raw material selection to fabric embellishment. Drawing on centuries of experience in pursuing excellence and aesthetic taste, Bottoli today is one of the world’s most recognized mills specialized in fancy fabrics. An ongoing search for innovative fabrics and an appreciation for artisanal excellence are the guiding principles that connect past, present, and future.   The production facility is surrounded by lush greenery and covers 5,000 square meters of land, using electricity from renewable sources. Promoting a centuries-old Italian textile tradition, rediscovering and selecting Italian sheep, and creating ecological fabrics labeled Lanaitaliana® are at the heart of their mission to pursue sustainable progress through tireless research, making Bottoli a reference point in the field of sustainability.   Nevertheless, in recent years, the mill has specialized in natural dyes, particularly in hazelnut tones using catechu and the fascinating indigo, and most recently, dyeing with coffee grounds. This dye, free from chemicals, imparts captivating vintage shades to natural fibers and allows for the recycling of a by-product that bars and restaurants usually waste.   #textileinnovation #sustainablefashion #woolenmills #italiancraftsmanship #heritage #naturaldyes #tailoring

One of our goals is to connect the next generation of designers to the textile industry 🤝   We are very proud to see the materials from our textile partners come to life with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp Masters of 2024.

We're #hiring a new Visual Design, Branding & Marketing Communication Intern in Antwerp, Flemish Region.

In fashion museums across the world fragile historic garments are surrendering to the passage of time and crumbling to dust. If digital fashion can claim one killer utility, it's that the creation of precise 3D replicas of important pieces can preserve fashion history for future generations, giving vital insight into lost craft and social history. MoMu - Fashion Museum Antwerp has made the preservation and communication of this knowledge its mission since it was founded. In a groundbreaking collaboration with digital fashion specialists d_archive, a 115-year-old garment was vibrantly brought to life in 3D, pioneering a tech-focused leap forward in how museums preserve our fashion legacy. In my latest expert interview on Digital Fashion Download, Dieter Suls, Coordinator of MoMu’s Dries Van Noten Study Centre, shares his deep knowledge of the museum space, and how experimenting in the world of fashion-tech forges new paths for fashion preservation. 📺 WATCH: See the link in the comments to view Dieter’s inspiring interview on Digital Fashion Download. ✅ SUBSCRIBE: Subscribe to Digital Fashion Download on YouTube for unrivalled insight into the world of digital fashion by the people making the industry happen. 👁️🗨️ DISCOVER: Learn more about the MoMu collaboration on d_archive’s newly launched channel, where creators can access knowledge of digital craft and 3D techniques, and participate in all things digital fashion: https://lnkd.in/eP_3CQim . . . #digitalfashion #3D #craftsmanship #innovation #heritage #avatar #technology #fashiontech #fashion #museums #communication Historical Costume: MoMu - Fashion Museum Antwerp Creative Direction and CGI: d_archive - https://darchive.io/ Project Facilitator: Ann Claes Pattern Making: Samira Lafkioui Digital Textiles: Bakermat Sound: Lola IIegems Avatar animation and movement: MocapLab and Luna Rustarazo Ann Claes Future Front Row Antonio Talarico Isabelle Udo Flanders Technology & Innovation
