Design with Memory

TPU Evolution®, the 100% Made in Italy and 100% recyclable polyurethane yarn, with its unique and inimitable touch is always the undisputed protagonist in high fashion collections.

With TPU Evolution®, CoatYarn is a partner of “Designing with Memory”, a project curated by Diego Dani and in collaboration with the Gianfranco Ferré Research Center of the Milan Polytechnic.

It consists of the redesign of an archive dress from the Gianfranco Ferré Prêt-à-porter Al 1995 collection through innovative techniques, including the use of our yarn. Heat-treated, in fact, TPU Evolution® was used to simulate the complex and precious silver lurex embroidery of the original dress. The re-designed garment, made with a base in black Superpiuma yarn by Emilcotoni in “full-garment” knitwear, was developed through Shima Seiki software and machines. Prototyping is by Maglieria Lattanzi and activation of the CoatYarn yarn by ZERO1.
