In the quiet greyness of winter, the rainy streets of Seattle fascinate us, day and night, with their hidden corners and striking nuances of contemporary architecture. Among the austere geometries of the skyscrapers, the Space Needle rises – bold and iconic – its slender curves and defined contours reminiscent of the refined lines of Zip Goffredo | Zip GFD’s zippers. All around, the beige and silver reflections of Tessitura Rossi’s delicate check pattern echo across the surfaces of buildings immersed in the transparency and dizzying rhythm of modern glass. A vibrant sign, playful and spirited in design, is mirrored in the buttons and toggles by Preppy, embodying a fresh, carefree urban style. The accessories by Nastrificio Achille Valera Lissoni, with their bold shapes and colours, evoke the signage and vivid hues of a bustling city market. The geometric lines of a soaring glass skyscraper call to mind the blue checks by Halley Stevensons, while the black and grey houndstooth by TMG Textiles reflects the rain-soaked asphalt of a narrow alley, where the echo of raindrops mingles with the hum of the city in a style that feels almost industrial. The view opens out to the evocative panorama of the Fremont Cut and the Olympic Mountains, where the majestic, golden Aurora Bridge catches the last rays of sunlight, its silhouette reflected in the understated elegance of Tarducci Massimo’s strap design. The colours by Airontex, combined with metallic fibres, capture the hues of a street lit by one of the Amazon Spheres, floating between skyscrapers bathed in twilight blue. It is at this hour – when the city becomes a mosaic of reflections – that the glass façades refract tones and contours mirrored in the iridescent elastics by Rifra Nastri. Finally, a rain-drenched street corner, lit by the headlights and neon glow of an approaching bus, takes on the mysterious, deep tones of Canepa’s wool jacquard – letting us experience the truest essence of the metropolitan landscape.
