Tailored Consulting for Textile Companies

From trends to fabric creation

In an increasingly competitive and sustainability-driven market, we support textile manufacturers (cotton, jersey, denim) as we have been doing for 20 years, developing innovative, trend-driven, and responsible collections.
Our approach is both sartorial and concrete: we transform trend analysis into market-ready materials.

Key services offered:

  • Trend forecasting and seasonal directions

  • Color palette and material studies

  • Yarn selection and fabric development

  • Innovative finishes and treatments design

  • Sustainability consulting & green technologies

ARKUM collection review and moodboard

We are pioneers in textile innovation and creativity applied to fabric production. We work in synergy with in-house teams, laboratories, and industrial laundries to deliver tailor-made solutions that integrate advanced research, aesthetics, and production performance.

Our activity is grounded in a textile research and development process that anticipates market trends while addressing the new demands of environmental sustainability. Each collection is born from in-depth analysis of global trends, seasonal color palettes, material compositions, and innovative finishing technologies.

We develop concept designs and advanced fabrics capable of interpreting contemporary challenges, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with natural and man-made fibers, through eco-design approaches and strategies linked to the circular economy.

Every project is supported by textile storytelling, strategic naming, and product positioning activities to maximize the manufacturer’s identity on the global market, strongly differentiating them from competitors.

We collaborate with European and international manufacturers to create:

    • Sustainable fabrics for fashion and sportswear

    • Low-impact textile collections

    • Experimental projects with recycled, regenerated, or natural fibers

    • Innovative finishes for denim, cotton, and technical jersey

Each of our interventions is designed to optimize processes, reduce waste, and increase the perceived value of the textile product, thanks to an integrated creative and technical vision.

How we work

A tailor-made method for innovative textile producers

Every project begins with attentive listening. Together with our textile partners – producers of cotton, jersey, denim, and technical fibers – we build a personalized journey that takes into account stylistic needs, commercial goals, production characteristics, and market timing.

With over 20 years of experience in creative consultancy applied to textiles, we provide complete support: from initial trend scouting to prototyping and final production.
We operate as an integral part of the client’s team, fostering constant dialogue between the style office, R&D, technical lab, commercial department, and marketing.

Trend Research and Analysis

We analyze global macro-trends and emerging signals in fashion, design, and lifestyle, identifying color palettes, textile structures, finishes, and materials aligned with the producer’s identity and desired market positioning.

Prototyping and Optimization

We collaborate with in-house labs or external partners to test fabrics, washes, and treatments. We assist in yarn selection, defining fabric weights, and fine-tuning sustainable production processes.

Ongoing Support

We don’t stop at project delivery: we offer long-term tutorship, accompanying the client across multiple seasons to build a solid and sustainable work method together.

Textile Concept Design

We transform insights into tangible ideas: moodboards, color charts, fabric naming, and collection storytelling. Each concept is validated with the technical team to ensure feasibility.

Product Identity and Communication

We support clients in enhancing their textile collections, working alongside the marketing team to develop: storytelling, naming, catalogs, digital narratives, and materials for fairs or buyer presentations.

Added value for producers:

  • A proven methodology to optimize timing and create coherence in collection development
  • Collections more in line with real trends, attracting higher-level brands
  • Continuous consultancy to build internal know-how and strategic vision
  • Real integration of sustainability within processes
