Frankfurt Style Award 2017 winner
Urban Fabric chooses knitwear as
the tool to narrate the fascinating
American metropolitan lifestyle
and its natural tendency to create
connections: beetween cities,
beetween people, beetween ideas.
References from the past, taken from
the eclectic Art Decó architectural
elements, are mixed with modern
patterns such as the New York city’s
street map, generating colorful and
intricate motifs. Style and comfort
come together in the handmade
knitted garments, whose contrasts in
lines and volumes, tall silhouettes
and overlapping geometries are
brought to life thanks to the very
well-studied Missoni inspired colour
blends.
