Calvin Klein<\/strong>, that led to the creation of frocks for the friars of the ancient abbey of Sept Fons in France.<\/p>\nSchmid\u2019s velvet at Vicenza\u2019s Koin\u00e8<\/h2>\n
During its history, the Milanese company has won many awards. The most recent one was obtained at the Koin\u00e8 trade show in Vicenza<\/strong>, Italy, that gave it a prize for a chasuble, the outermost liturgical vestment, made with a Schmid fabric. To tell us the story is Elisabetta Bianchetti, who explained that \u201cafter having seen it during a non profit charity auction organised by Schmid with some of its fabrics, I thought that Schmid\u2019s velvet could be the ideal product to carry out an idea I had in mind<\/strong>. I wanted an elegant fabric, classical but that could also be modern. Indeed, the chasuble had to adapt to particular architectural settings, such as modern glass churches.\u201d<\/p>\nThe company\u2019s comment<\/h2>\n
Schmid is also satisfied with the result. The comment made by the chairman and CEO Paolo Ciccarelli<\/strong> proves it. \u201cI have always said that our work is to make fabrics and materials that can foster the creativity of stylists and designers. Nowadays, the traditional boundaries between sectors once far apart are now superceded. What we see every day on our tablets is a blatant demonstation of that and the collaboration with Elisabetta Bianchetti is the latest evidence. In 2015, we provided to Estel some of our products for the realisation of interior design prototypes that obtained a great success<\/strong>. Some young designers have made a name for themselves and are catching the attention of the general public with products \u2018Made in Schmid\u2019. This is our path, and we are ready to continue walking down it.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Milan-based Manifatture Mario Bianchetti is one of those cases of Italian excellence scarcely known by the general public.
