Thanks to CNMI and Lectra, the 4 students had the possibility to demonstrate their talents and design their first collection that will be exhibited during the 2008 Milano Moda Donna fashion show taking place on February 23rd.
Some creations of their collection have also been previewed at the Lectra booth during the inauguration event on February 16th. Lectra has especially supported the students by offering free use of its Kaledo design solution, by sharing its expertise and by providing training.
“We are very proud to be involved in the promotion of a new generation of fashion talents in Italy”, said Daniel Harari, Chief Executive Officer, Lectra. “On a global level, Lectra is very honored to defend and support the “Made in Italy” image.”
Kaledo: designed by Lectra! The Kaledo range is the result of Lectra's experience acquired over the past 30 years. It includes the Kaledo Collection application for designing collections along with Kaledo Print, Kaledo Knit and Kaledo Weave, the textile applications for creating original prints, knits and yarn-dyed woven fabrics.
With Kaledo, designers can present, test, change and develop a large number of styles and easily create a wide variety of fabrics and colorways. Ultra-realistic simulations allow them to express their creative ideas.
This user-friendly range of design applications takes technical data into account, simplifying production series and allowing product lines tobe developed very quickly.
