Textiles become blank canvas for modern art-inspired collection
25/10/2019
Out of the Blue Impressions provided an overview of the company’s services, which includes garment manufacture and finishing, at 11 sites across Italy, Romania and Tunisia.
Designs inspired by Cubism were distressed and recomposed by laser; multi-coloured metal coatings and coiled hand-made lines were a tribute to the Art Nouveau artist Klimt. To represent the Impressionist movement, jeans were reworked using natural pigments, avoiding bleach; those representing Abstractism were tie dyed, while Pop Art pieces featured plastic foiling and colour spray.
This summer Elleti opened two spaces at its San Bonifacio headquarters as a tribute denim history: MODE (Museum of Denim Elleti Group) and Stadium. MODE features more than 100 pieces dating from the mid-19th century to the 1970s, while Stadium is an archive of 15,000 garments produced by the company over the past 40 years.
