Linen is undoubtedly an iconic and timeless fabric, a present and past protagonist of the entire fashion system. Today it parades during the most recent fashion weeks around the world, yesterday, on the other hand, it was successful designers such as Gianfranco Ferrè who made it famous. In fact, it was Ferrè himself – the face of one of the symbolic maisons of Made in Italy – after some of his trips to India that began to introduce linen in his collections. This beloved and stainless fabric is also produced from sustainable fibers that can preserve the ecosystem while avoiding any kind of impact on the environment.
