Drittplatzierten von der „London School of Fashion“ und des „Politecnico di Milano“ sowohl die internationale Fachjury als auch das ebenfalls stimmberechtigte Fachpublikum der Messe vor Ort.

Für die Umsetzung ihrer eingereichten Entwürfe bekamen insgesamt 36 Teilnehmende des Wettbewerbs hochwertigste Garne italienischer Spinnereien zugeteilt und konnten damit ihre Entwürfe Realität werden lassen. Das Thema des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs lautete „CONTRADICTIONS“ und forderte dazu auf, kreative Lösungen zu finden, um die Harmonie zwischen Technologie und Tradition zu erforschen und eine zeitgemäße Vision zu präsentieren.

Violas Schmidt setzte ihr Design „Closer Distance“ im modernen Labor für Maschentechnologie der Fakultät Textil des TEXOVERSUMS um. Sowohl die internationale Jury als auch das Publikum der Messe zeigten sich beeindruckt und überzeugt von Schmidts Design. Das in Rottönen gehaltene, gleichzeitig elegant und progressiv anmutende, aufwendig gelayerte Design spiegelt das Thema des Wettbewerbs perfekt wider und zeigt eine bemerkenswerte Symbiose aus maschineller Präzision und gestalterischer Einzigartigkeit. Besonders beachtenswert und anspruchsvoll ist zusätzlich, dass Schmidts Design „fully fashioned“ gestrickt ist. Ein nachhaltiges Vorgehen, bei dem weder Schnittkanten, noch Abfälle entstehen.

Bereits 2022 hatte Schmidt, damals noch Studentin des Bachelorstudiengangs Fashion & Textile Design, ebenfalls an der TEXOVERSUM Fakultät Textil an der Hochschule Reutlingen, den European Fashion Award – FASH gewonnen. Mit ihrem jüngsten Erfolg bei „Feel the Yarn“ setzt sie ihre Karriere fort und präsentiert gemeinsam mit anderen Fashiondesign-Graduierenden der Fakultät ihre Bachelorkollektion „Inner Garden“ im Rahmen der Neo.Fashion auf der Berlin Fashion Week.

Schneider Group launches brand: Authentico® by Schneider Group

The Schneider Group officially launches Authentico® by Schneider Group, a brand that stands for a transparent, verified, traceable, ethical and high-quality wool supply chain. It aims to be recognised as a global brand that enables the fashion industry, together with end-consumers, to choose new levels of premium quality comprising fully traceable and responsible wool, in compliance with a carefully structured approach that verifies, traces and brands the sourcing and manufacturing processes throughout the whole supply chain. Authentico® is based on the Schneider Group global certified network.

To achieve these goals, the Schneider Group has created the Authentico® Verification System, a simple and reliable way to provide criteria and guidelines for all Authentico® supply chain partners including:

Authentico® is based on the Schneider Group global certified network.

To achieve these goals, the Schneider Group has created the Authentico® Verification System, a simple and reliable way to provide criteria and guidelines for all Authentico® supply chain partners including:

  • Authentico® Integrity Scheme, best practices for growers’ implementation at farm level. Animal welfare is at the heart of the Authentico® Integrity scheme, together with being mulesing-free, in accordance with The Five Domains. But the scheme goes further and encompasses also land and pasture management and social responsibility. The wool is sourced from carefully selected and highly committed growers, who apply best practices and choose to subscribe to the dedicated Authentico® platform. The selected fibres are processed into tops in the Schneider Group’s own mills located on several continents, which are directly operated and fully certified.
  • Authentico® Brand Guidelines, for all other supply chain players (from spinners, weavers and knitters to garment makers, brands and retailers), that include precise criteria set by the Schneider Group to ensure alignment with Authentico® brand values.

In addition, the Schneider Group incorporates the traceability platform TextileGenesis™ within its Authentico® Verification System, to digitally track all incoming and outgoing wool.

The group has developed a marketing & communication plan to support its Authentico® brand. Upcoming events where Authentico® will be featured are: Pitti Filati in June, Milano Unica in July, the Natural Fibre Connect (NFC) in Biella in mid-September and the Textile Exchange Conference at the end of October in Pasadena.

The group takes part in the 83rd edition of Pitti Filati (June 27-29, 2018) with unique products, high-end knitwear and creative yarns, all resulting from the authentic Smart Innovation the company has been long committed to.
 
Research, style and fashion are key words for the world-renown Tuscan company, which unveils an always more responsible approach both at a corporate level and in terms of offer.
Here are some key elements to prove Filpucci’s relentless commitment:

  • The GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and OCS (Organic Content Standard) certifications obtained by the Filpucci dyeing plant add to the Clear to Wear (CTW) standard developed by Inditex Group and achieved in 2014 and to the Detox commitment, which was signed in February, 2016.
  • Not only the best raw materials, but also an established knowhow in the fields of dyeing and finishing, always under the key concept of Responsible Innovation. This concept extends to each and every FILPUCCI collection and their ever-increasing offer, the roughly twenty innovative new items, the Woolen line of carded yarns and the real spearhead of premium fashion, the Collection. Among this season’s new offer: Baby Camel Re.Verso™, RWS- certified merino organic wool, Re.Verso™ cashmere, organic silks and FSC-certified viscose.
  • The achievement of further certifications such as the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) for viscose shows the care and respect towards the ecosystem as a whole, guaranteeing a product derived from a forest or a plantation forest in the respect of strict environmental, social and economic standards. The RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) finally guarantees the use of wool coming from livestock managed under rigorous criteria oriented towards the wellbeing of animals and the reduction of environmental impact.
  • Filpucci Group is all about a constant vocation towards new generation values and a reliable, traceable and transparent manufacturing process, as shown by the Re.Verso™ circular economy supply chain, of which the group is a unique ambassador in the field of high-end/low-impact knitwear yarns.

With absolute quality always in mind, FILPUCCI GROUP represents a corporate model that has made of sustainability a real mission, embarking on complex paths that have brought great results with fashionable textile solutions lead by ethnical and sustainable values. Thanks to this, Filpucci’s products have become part of Patagonia Collections, an important acknowledging from the brand’s part, whose managers stated: “We are always on the hunt for the highest performing, lowest impact materials. We were thrilled to find Re.Verso ™ (95/5 transformed) Cashmere yarn from Filpucci. It allowed us to create a range of products with the insulative and soft properties of cashmere while adhering to our mission statement; build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm.”
FILPUCCI GROUP’s commitment is evident and it moves forward thanks to the passion towards responsible and innovative paths that contribute to turning the group into a reliable partner, symbol of quality and excellence.

Filpucci is also a C.L.A.S.S. (Creativity Lifestyle And Sustainable Synergy) partner.
