Part of the Miroglio Group, Miroglio Textile is a European leader in the markets of fabrics, yarns, transfer paper and technical film. In recent years, it has developed a business strategy strongly focused on high levels of quality, service and sustainability. The manufacturer demonstrated its expertise at the Première Vision exhibition that took place from 15 – 17 September in Paris, where it also presented its Fall/Winter 2016-17 collection.

A strong international feel, the Fall/Winter 2016-17 collection is characterized by prints on natural materials. Among the stand-out innovations are flannels with flock effects entirely Made in Italy, and environmentally sustainable.

In this extensive selection, there is also printed jacquard knits and three dimensional woven fabric bases, with essential shapes in white/black and on trend colours. Folk inspired fantasies and cashmere coloured palette trends see burgundy, ochre and forest green. High definition digital printing enables the company to create small detailed designs with casual corrosion effects, as well as macro floral designs inspired by the 70s.

Giuseppe Miroglio, Chairmain of the company said that water saving is crucial for the preservation of the planet and on this objective Miroglio Textile has being focused for many years.

One hundred thousand metres of natural fabric printed with Miroglio Textile digital technology mean 3.2 million litres of water is saved, which is equal to the daily water needs of one million people, the company reports.

To be more specific, a silk, cotton or viscose blouse with a digital print made by Miroglio Textile, is said to provide a water saving of about 30 litres over traditional print processes, according to the manufacturer. The same shirt in synthetic fibre printed with sublimation process consumes almost zero water.
