Creative sustainability and innovation have been guiding Filo’s action for long time, as was clear during the two days of the 61st edition of Filo, through the ability to generate innovation based on a sustainable creativity shown in the collections. In the meantime, the opening ceremony and the “Dialoghi di Confronto” have emphasised the various sides of innovation and sustainability’s concepts, regarding both style and technology.

Paolo Monfermoso, responsible for Filo, explains: “The objective of a creative sustainability is paramount for Filo, starting from the creative proposals that Gianni Bologna suggests to exhibiting companies at each edition, since end-users consider creativity and sustainability as two sides of the same coin, with specific demand for stylists and brands. Therefore, going back along the supply chain, fashion designers, brands, garment manufacturers are requiring this kind of specifications to textile producers, who are in turn asking the same to yarns producers and finishing firms, and so on. Innovation makes the combination of sustainability and creativity possible, giving rise to new solutions, which are often carried out according to specific customers’ needs. That is why we always focus on a further key-player acting along the process: supply chain. Collaboration and dialogue along the various steps of the pipeline are those elements which enable operators to reach creative, innovative, and sustainable garments, characterised by a long-lasting quality. That’s the reason why we have long since opened the doors of Filo to fibres, finishing processes, and knitwear too. We are open for any kind of synergy and collaboration, aiming at proposing effective solutions to each company and exhibitor’.
The 62nd edition of Filo will be held on the 18th and 19th of September 2024 at Allianz MiCo – Milan.
