Candiani Denim was founded in 1938 in a small town near Milan. Since then, a family company, has been working on the fabric of denim, firmly supporting the concepts of Made in Italy, sustainability and innovation, always trying to improve on quality and innovation. Today, it provides the most prestigious brands in the market.

Denim is a magical fabric: it is possible to manipulate it in an infinite number of ways through traditional techniques or new technologies, estro and fantasy.

The challenge launched by Candiani Denim consisted in the creation of a dressmaker in 48 hours of time that emphasized the textile manipulations experienced during the workshop with the company.

 

A return to the past for shapes and volumes: there is a touch of the '40s for what is the silhouette that takes a bit of the "Corolle", elaborated by Dior, with a subtle waistline contained in a short jacket-coat from the shoulders
Soft and rounded.

The strange game of connecting a similar silhouette to a revolutionary fabric like denim.

​

A loyal denim accessory has always been copper: Rivets, reinforcements and buttons have always been the main ornaments.
In this chapter, however, copper is used in a totally new way by exploiting its high ductility.

​

The outerwear includes two different manipulations that start with one of the most interesting traditional techniques, namely that of denim parade.

A workmanship, applied as an insert on the side and arm, gives rise to large fringes, then bleached, treated and washed to give it a worn-out appearance as thick as a bird's plumage.

The other manipulation always starts from the denim parade following a square geometry. Consequently, there were created tracks in which a thin copper wire, drawn from electrical wires, was passed. The wire creates a kind of mesh that is applied on the revers of the jacket, allowing the latter to shape and maintain the shape, thus creating a sort of memory form.
