A glimpse of Mexico through its diverse landscapes, its rich history, and its world-renowned traditions. Its vibrant spirit resonates everywhere – rising from the desert expanses of cacti, climbing the red mountains like a Reda fabric, and weaving through the lush jungle vegetation, in the mossy green of a British Millerain fabric. From the jungle, the silent echo of a Maya city emerges. A tone-on-tone jacquard by Lanificio Fratelli Bacci mimics the carvings surrounding the stone deities, still standing as guardians of the walls. In the bustling streets, mariachi bands play lively, piercing melodies that stand out like buttons on dark uniforms, just like an elegant fabric by Manifattura Foderami Cimmino. Meanwhile, the herringbone jacquard by Lanificio Becagli recalls the warm wood of the acoustic guitar, the heart of these melodies. Dancers dress in bright colours and bold contrasts, with ruffles and flounces on their wide, flowing skirts billowing with every twirl. The fabric by Beppetex flows with the frenetic movement of traditional dances. The play of colours continues inside palaces, where patterns – like the accessories by Argopel – add texture and depth to otherwise flat tones on the walls. One of Mexico’s most distinctive traditions is undoubtedly the famous Día de Muertos. A joyful celebration spreads through the cities, as families gather around altars overflowing with flowers, reminiscent of the lace by Sophie Hallette. Fluttering decorations fill homes and streets, honouring life and inspiring the fabric by Atelier du Val d’Argent - Bacus, where colourful threads intertwine. Equally important is Mexico’s textile heritage, rich with handwoven geometric patterns. The labels by Fec*Serilabel di Facchinetti evoke the tactile effect of threads bound together. The country’s lively and untamed spirit floods the landscape like tiny wildflowers on a Mila Fibres fabric. Leaving the cities and entering rural areas, one finds harmony with nature, gently touched by human constructions. A shrub rises from the water, a submerged forest like a Toschi Passamanerie trim, extending its branches toward the sky.
