ISKO LUXURY by PG Milan

At the upcoming PV Denim Milano on November 23-24, Paolo Gnutti will present his exciting new ISKO Luxury by PG collection that combines ISKO's advanced and sustainable denim technologies with his creative vision.

The new collection will feature a series of moods in which the denim wizard wanted to fully express his absolutely unique and revolutionary vision of the denim world.

One of the moods of the new ISKOTM Luxury by PG collection is inspired by the animal world by enhancing the fabrics with foils and faux leathers in crocodile, python and leopard patterns, a collection of fabrics that Paolo Gnutti likes to call “LOVE ANIMALS.”

Another capsule aims at reworking and revisiting the most classic of indigo fabrics, selvedge denim, where a range of new fabrics, strictly 100% cotton will be presented. These are created with a vintage and authentic look, a tribute to the first world of indigo fabrics but with a new concept that mixes traditionalism with sustainability.

Timeless is the collection of flocked fabrics, of which ISKOTM Luxury by PG is an acknowledged leader; in this new mood flocked fabrics will be presented in new weights and colors to increasingly inspire designers' creativity.

And then colors, foils, new weaves, prints will make the new ISKOTM Luxury by PG collection even more BORN TO AMAZE.

"Working on this collection was exciting and fun. I wanted, once again, to create a collection that reflected the way I see fashion and could be an inspiration to the designers who come to see us at the fair. I hope my vision of luxury denim can be a game changer in the amazing world of fashion." Explains Paolo Gnutti, founder of PG.
