Designing textiles
New Armani/Casa Exclusive Textiles by Rubelli collection celebrates a decade of collaboration.
To mark ten years of creative collaboration, the 2019/20 Armani/Casa Exclusive Textiles by Rubelli collection showcases the amalgamation of the signature styles of the two renown entities. Two key patterns in the collection reference an Oriental ethos, a perennial source of inspiration for Armani.
Trees and hills that vanish into clouds in the Okinawa design create the impression of gazing into infinity. A kimono motif, woven and refined with embroidered inserts defines Odaware. Contemporary influences are also evident in the new collection, Oklahoma, a geometric jacquard with Art Deco influences, provides a timeless twist to the rich heritage of decoration.
