After developing the idea to use a hosiery machine to make seamless garments, Emilio Cavallini
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.
