MIC SPA and Shima Seiki Italia signed a new partnership and presented the new Nature Reborn

During the biggest international reference platform for the knitwear industry, Pitti Immagine Filati 2024, MIC Spa and Shima Seiki Italia presented the results of their sixth consecutive collaboration.

The new capsule collection Nature Reborn - A Whole garment Sustainable Design by Vittorio Branchizio, consisting of 8 outfits, represents the union between creative ability, knowledge of materials, latest generation technology of SSI, and innovative and quality yarns proposed by MIC SPA. A combination of style, research, and increasingly advanced technical skills. A collection made with high-quality natural materials and yarns continues to embrace sustainable development in a radical change that affects the entire production chain.

The whole garment technique and durable yarns combine to create dresses, suits, and trousers that are signed and curated by designer Vittorio Branchizio with a new idea of elegance. Manifattura Italiana Cucirini confirms itself as the ideal partner thanks to inventiveness, quality and attention to detail, thanks to the use of its flagship yarns. The EXTÉ 2.7 SOFT was used in 6 outfits for that capsule collection. Knitting yarn, made in Italy (EA+PA) with excellent elastic and re-entry properties, able to give elasticity, color and compactness to the garment. Not only the Exte 2.7 Soft, but some garments also included STR 360 to donate and create transparency effects.
