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. From iconic statues and sculptures to stunning paintings and frescoes, the designs merge tradition with innovation, demonstrating that creativity knows no bounds.

At the heart of the project is THE Laser Lab, a cutting-edge system designed for stores and labs. 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.

During the session, Visentin will demonstrate how laser technology is revolutionizing the world of denim, pushing the boundaries of garment finishing.

According to Visentin, “Today, laser finishing allows garments to become works of art, blurring the line between imagination and reality. From concept to catwalk, this technology is redefining design possibilities—bringing unprecedented depth, detail, and dimension to life.”
