Feb 14, 2002/ FW/ --- Emilio Cavallini presented the results of ten years of work and research
at his Fall 2002 collection.
After developing the idea to use a hosiery
machine to make seamless garments, he set his mind on accomplishing just
that and the results are a triumph of technology and design.
Cavallini's form conscious jersey sportswear is part dancer's bodysuit
and part avant gard knitwear.
Necklines were drapey and shoulders were askew.
Interesting textures were key, with ruffles, smocking, and jacquards.
The use of solid colors emphasized the personality of the
fabrics, but was also printed on with graphics.
Of course, there were some seriously bold legwear in various patterns.
Also worth noting is how Cavallini used his innovations to create lace and netting which
trimmed and accented.
Using this type of technology may have been twenty years in the making, but it is also
the wave of the future.
