Decadent Dégradé

Talk about a shining example.

Sordevolo, a mill based in the village of Sordevolo in Italy's Biella area, creates some of fashion's most exciting metallic novelties.

Although known for their luxurious and highly-compact plain wovens used by the likes of Ms. Prada, the mill, founded in 1965 (its roots are older), has an impressive lineup of metallic noveltly cloths as well. This one caught my eye as I love a layered technique.

First, a Lurex dégradé is woven on a jacquard loom and then the fabric is pigment printed in plaid. 

Luxe? Of course! But radiant FUN.

And what's fashion without that?
