LEATHERTEX
Leathertex has conquered the experimental textile track for more than forty years thanks to the pioneering and bold spirit of Francesco Favini. Favini pushed beyond the standard of the textile industry during the 1970’s and did not let Prato production limit his wool fabrics. From then on, a lot has changed but the foundations remain the same. There is a common enthusiasm, the desire to expand and grow, and the key objective to please the customer.
Flocked, coated and resin finished fabrics were vanguard fabrics in the 1970’s. Today, because of diversification high tech productions are now possible at Leathertex.
Today, the mill is well known because of its superb production of the highest quality of imitation leather. The imitation leather is produced in many variations with unique looks, feel, colors and thickness. The sample room at the mill has a wide range of models made up of synthetic as well as cotton fabrics, coated, quilted and embroidered fabrics, and fabrics bonded with faux furs, films and plastic materials.

MUNICH FABRIC START – Between Attitude and Sensuality
The future begins where we reimagine it. The overarching theme of PLEASURE stands for fashion as an emotional space, as an expression of attitude and cultural reflection.
KnitForm+ by Jeanne Mora – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
What matters is how the textile responds: how it regulates volume, distributes pressure, and transitions from flat to three-dimensional states. Process transparency is embedded in the methodology itself.
Cartoon – WEAR YOUR OPTIMISM

RETRAKT – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Performance, in this context, is measured by organisational resilience. RETRAKT applies resilience engineering to help employees anticipate, monitor, respond to, and learn from complex and changing requirements.
MATERIA FUTURA – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Materia Futura is not proposing a new bio-material category, nor a finished commercial textile. What distinguishes the project is its design-led investigation into the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of bio-based materials, an area often sidelined in sustainability discourse.
THREADED PROTOCOLS – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Threaded Protocols is not a textile innovation in the commercial sense, nor a digital tool disguised as craft. What makes the work distinct is its material investigation into how computational logic originates in textile practice and what is lost when those logics are abstracted into opaque technological systems.
MARIE VILAY – SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS
Marie Vilay does not present a new fabric or production technique. What distinguishes her work is a method of reading and translating textile knowledge across cultures, systems, and moments of transition.
