171 PROCESSING Fashion products was born: innovative fabrics capable of creating exclusive looks for clothing, footwear, and bags. Thanks to this kaleidoscope of skills, the world of the Most Group is completely transversal to the world of fashion: «Companies like ours are like a style translator - says Elisabetta Mucci - once the brand launches the concept of the collection and sends inspirational images launching the research, our task is to make proposals to translate the sought-after mood onto material». In the wake of this mission, a very important role is played by MOST - SILK, one of the most creative departments of the Most holding company. This is an in-house division specialising in pad printing and screen printing - direct and indirect - on leather, artificial leather, PVC, PU, foils and fabrics. Colours are created on the basis of ad hoc recipes, also with metallic, glitter, iridescent, rubberised and glossy/matt effects. Special polyurethane coatings provide maximum resistance to light and rubbing. Another piece of excellence that makes up the mosaic of the Most Group where research never stops. But what are the latest innovations in terms of processing techniques? «Definitely direct 3D printing with which all kinds of effects can be created on the material with a very high precision of detail» concludes Elisabetta Mucci. This is a technology that opens up new scenarios for the world of fashion: the future will be choosing an article and having it printed. To create this technique, we are collaborating with STRATASYS, a global leader in 3D printing, with whom we are beta tester partners for the implementation of direct printing on fabric. Illuminated fabrics and fibre-optic wefts, a true innovation in the textile field and of great visual impact, are also of the latest generation».
