Fabric manufacturers recognised at 10th PV Awards
26/09/2018
The awards were created in 2008 as a way to highlight the most creative and innovative products from companies exhibiting at the exhibition. They were originally only handed out to fabric manufacturers, but awards for producers of leather were introduced in 2015.
The winners were selected by a jury made up of figures from the international fashion industry. This year, it was led by Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens.
Italian company Marini Industrie received the top award, the PV Fabrics Grand Jury Prize, for “the most exceptional, symbolic and pertinent fabric of the season”.
The winner of the PV Fabrics Handle Prize, awarded for “the fabric allying the most astonishing tactile and behavioural qualities, the fabric that touches the emotions”, was another Italian company, Texlover.
The other two fabric awards went to Japanese companies.
Stylem’s Zen Kiwami brand won the PV Fabrics Imagination Prize, for “the boldest, most original, most amazing fabric in terms of decoration, technique, finishing, innovation or technology”.
Toray Industries was awarded the PV Fabrics Fashion Smart Creation Prize, for “the most creative responsible fabric”.
