Tonello unveils THE Laser Manifesto at Denim PV Milan

Tonello has announced its participation in the Denim PV show in Milan on December 4-5, where it will debut its latest project, THE Laser Manifesto. This innovative collection reinterprets Italy’s artistic and cultural heritage through advanced laser technology.

This revolutionary technology enables the creation of intricate details, high-resolution graphics, and captivating textures, transforming garments into wearable art. During the event, THE Laser Lab will be showcased live, offering visitors the chance to experience its capabilities firsthand through on-the-spot customizations, including bandanas, denim patches, and personal clothing items.
