Tessuti di Sondrio and Framis Italia: a meeting of excellence at Milano Unica 2025
In the heart of the Italian textile industry, the collaboration between Tessuti di Sondrio and Framis Italia brings together artisanal heritage and cutting-edge technology. This synergy took center stage at the July 2025 edition of Milano Unica, This collaboration is fully expressed in the July 2025 edition of Milano Unica, where two distinct but complementary projects were presented, offering a new vision of fashion, sustainability, and performance.
Artisanal Intelligence: a new approach to outerwear
“Artisanal Intelligence” offers a contemporary interpretation of outerwear based on the balance between craftsmanship and advanced technology. Tessuti di Sondrio contributed premium fabrics, including cotton, wool and hemp, crafted with precision and enhanced by innovative treatments. These materials reflect a tradition rooted in the Valtellina region since 1895, constantly driven by research and excellence.
Framis Italia integrated these fabrics into outerwear and trousers constructed with next-generation thermo-adhesive tapes and films. This approach enhances durability, controlled elasticity, aesthetic purity and overall comfort, while reducing the need for traditional stitching. The result is a collection where material becomes technique, combining clean silhouettes, functional details and a refined contemporary attitude.
Rethink, Rework & ReFramis: giving past collections a new identity
The second project, “Rethink, Rework & ReFramis,” introduces a new perspective on sustainability by elevating upcycling into a creative and responsible design method. Tessuti di Sondrio opened its archives, providing iconic garments from past collections, authentic pieces of Italian textile history. These garments became a canvas for transformation.
Framis Italia reinterpreted each piece through the use of thermo-adhesive applications, technical patches and innovative finishes, giving every garment a renewed expressive identity. The original value of the fabric remains intact, but the updated design adds boldness and modernity. This project demonstrates how circularity can become an opportunity to rethink fashion through creativity, technical expertise and environmental responsibility.
A dialogue between past, present and future
The collaboration showcased at Milano Unica 2025 exemplifies the powerful link between tradition and innovation. The combination of Tessuti di Sondrio’s high-quality natural fabrics and Framis Italia’s cutting-edge thermo-adhesive technology gives life to garments that are unique, functional and meaningful.
This “artisan intelligence,” built on research, precision, and vision, represents a bridge between the past and the future, capable of defining a new aesthetic and technical paradigm in the Italian fashion landscape.
Together, Framis Italia and Tessuti di Sondrio outline a concrete direction for the clothing of tomorrow: authentic, responsible and consistently innovative.
