From the Sector

ILUNA Group and ROICA™ continue their close partnership to present the most “advanced” and responsible innovations to the market today. ILUNA GREEN LABEL lace collections made with premium stretch thanks to the use of the unique ROICA ™ Eco Smart GRS certified family- now offer the next evolution: a new stretch Galloon lace to be combined with mesh and lace fabrics collections, now fully made with GRS certified materials. This new evolution offers the right choice to contemporary consumers in products that are beautiful, high quality and sustainable.
This is in addition to a decision last year when the ILUNA GROUP converted all their stretch yarn exclusively to the unique ROICA™ Eco Smart family for all of its top of the range jacquardtronic and Textronic articles.
To reinforce this commitment, ILUNA can also celebrate its new STeP (Sustainable Textile Production) certification by Oeko-Tex, a certification that clarifies and communicates the company’s sustainable production commitment regarding manufacturing and processing to all its partners and customers in a transparent, clear manner.
Fashion & ILUNA feature on the catwalk in Paris with the ‘Momenti Di Passione’ fashion show at the Interfiliere salon on 8th to 10th July. Here you will be able to enjoy a dazzling and exciting new range of bold ECO flocking beachwear & cover up.
And at the show, breakthrough fabric designs from ILUNA show a revolutionary quality in the new Burano collection: a range of decorative, macramé precious pattern effects that are diaphanous and semi-sheer styles that use at their heart the ROICA™ Eco Smart premium stretch family exclusively.

Am 8. und 9. Juni präsentierte e.com sein seit mehr als 2 Jahren bewusst im Stillen entwickeltes VR-fähiges soziales Netzwerk connect beim Fifteen Seconds Festival und stieß dabei auf große Resonanz. Auch Armin Assinger unterstützte das Grazer Start-up. Michael Schöggl, Gründer des Projekts, resümiert: „Wir haben unglaublich viel positives Feedback bekommen und zahlreiche namhafte Unternehmen haben Interesse an einer Zusammenarbeit mit uns bekundet.“ Kein Wunder, bietet connect doch die Möglichkeit, fast alle Marken durch Product Placement auf interaktive, spielerische und vor allem unaufdringliche Weise den Kunden näherzubringen. Dabei entscheidet allein der Nutzer, mit welchen Geräten oder Einrichtungsgegenständen er sein virtuelles Zuhause einrichtet. Alles kann individualisiert und angepasst werden - von den Möbel, dem Loft-Ausblick und funktionellen Objekten bis hin zu den Bildern an der Wand.
