Tiziano Guradini, the leading eco-designer and winner of the Green Carpet Fashion Award 2017, has created a sustainable shoe collection, made by Santoni, a producer of textile machines. The shoe, that displays futuristic lines and a seamless upper made with bio-based Evo yarn by Fulgar, is presented at the Fashion Hub at Milan Fashion Week (MFW) 2018.

The innovative model is based on the most cutting-edge textile science, a combination of X MACHINE technology developed by Santoni enabling the production of a one-piece upper with seamless and “no waste” technology, and Evo yarn by Fulgar derived from the castor oil plant, with thermal properties and natural bacteriostatic agents, super stretch performance, and exceptional breathability. It is a perfect mix for footwear that offers maximum comfort and unique performance while respecting the natural world.

The concept is set to revolutionise the footwear industry, also with applications in combination with a rubber sole to create 100 per cent bio footwear.

The X MACHINE technology is being launched at the same time as the Milan Fashion Week at the ongoing SIMAC trade fair in Milan, which is being held from February 20 to 22, 2018, in stand L40, pavilion 18. (GK)
