A tribute to materials

The textile art of Anni Albers and figurative designs recovered from historical archives are among the many inspirations of Dedar 2016, presented in Paris.

The creative story of the 2016 Dedar collection derives from research into the textile world and its countless forms of expression, and culminates in the creation of fabrics that represent the essence of aesthetic and functional properties.

The great classics of sartorial inspiration such as moleskin, bourette silk and twill have been interpreted as furnishing fabrics of contemporary elegance and are available in vast colour palettes of great depth.

The wide gamut of patterns manifests great freedom of expression: printed and embroidered geometric motifs, figurative designs recovered from historical archives, mysterious underworlds of graphic inspiration, abstract floral patterns executed in fil coupé, classical references, sequins, piercing, pigmented metallic prints and a homage to the textile art of Anni Albers.

The new fire-retardant fabrics enhance their textures, while the outdoor fabrics are soft-knit fabrics with a quilted effect.
