Tecnomesh

Chapter 03

Exploring and drawing on Massimo Osti's Archive, Chapter 03 reflects the Italian designer's ongoing research and experimentation with apparel's transformability, military-inspired camouflage prints and mesh-structured fabric.

Following this approach, garments are crafted in Tecnomesh, a bi-stretch fabric, 80% nylon and 20% elastane, woven on Raschel looms. This technique achieves a mesh structure characterised by breathability, lightness and elasticity.

The fabric is printed in double-sublimated camouflage.

TECNOMESH

Massimo Osti's Archive continues to be a source of inspiration for avant-garde design, able to combine textile innovation and modern aesthetics.

Chapter 03 explores the idea of modular uniforms by examining single garment elements, the use of technical materials and camouflage prints.

All these elements are emphasised by the Birnam Jacket's transformable structure.

The different ways in which the garment can be used, combined with the characteristics of transparency, lightness and elasticity of Tecnomesh, express Massimo Osti Studio's innovative approach focused on multifunctionality.

The camouflage prints are made by sublimation on both sides.
