GREEN TRACE
Leaves make the planet breathe, they are the metaphor of natural circularity and life.
Zignone reaffirms the concept of complete traceability, from the raw material to the fabric.
Green Trace
To ensure maximum transparency, Lanificio Zignone has introduced the Green Trace symbol. The symbol guarantees full traceability. Products marked Green Trace provide the complete history of individual fabrics in the form of a mapping of the supply chain to allow clients total control over sustainability. The Green Trace symbol acts, in other words, as an Origin Chain register, which traces in detail the journey of purchased fabrics: their provenance, the various actors, when each production phase is performed, and the eventual identification of specific production lots.

RESPECT IS IN OUR NATURE
Raw materials, the territory, the people.
There is no contemporary elegance without a commitment towards the environment. The desire to develop functional fabrics designed for today’s pace of life is only realised when there is a dedication to produce in the most sustainable way for tomorrow’s generations. The activities of the mill covers the entire supply chain and begins well before work starts in the company’s plants. Wool is a biodegradable and recyclable material suitable for promoting a circular economy: Zignone only selects farms that have respect for animals and their freedom. Every phase of work is carried out with the utmost transparency, guaranteeing complete traceability of each individual lot and control over the substances used (in compliance with the strict ZDHC and GOTS standards). New machinery and optimised methods make it possible to limit CO2 emissions and reduce the mill’s water consumption by up to 0.05 m3 per meter of fabric for a lower environmental impact. Raw and untreated materials, natural resources and the land as well as staff and consumers are treated with great care. This commitment to monitor the entire supply chain has led Zignone to launch its own dedicated label, Green Trace, which will serve as a mark of quality for products that look to properly care for the environment.
NEW WERAEVER FABRICS
Unparalleled flexibility year-round.
Whether it is a formal meeting or a chance opportunity, we always want to feel free to move around without obstacles in our way. After last season’s launch, which was well-received by fashion brands, the wool mill now expands its special Bi-Natural Stretch range. WearEver fabrics are unique to the market: they extend both horizontally and vertically, preserving pure wool’s superior breathability thanks to a treatment developed by Zignone. With autumn and winter 2020 on the horizon, the range is enriched with fabrics from flannel to bird’s-eye pique and designs on a batavia base that are typically suitable for colder months. The new products preserve the exceptional properties of the range, which offers Easy Care fabrics that are machine washable with anti-crease, anti-stain and waterproofing properties for maximum ease of use.
ZIGNONE FABRICS ARE READY TO MOVE
Zignone fabrics are ready to move and meet life’s daily challenges, refresh one’s style and work for the environment.
For the F/W 2020 season, the wool mill looks again to contemporary dynamism: these versatile products, like the new WearEver fabrics, are designed for true wearability.
The collection invites us to live life to the fullest and addresses the important issue of developing more sustainable clothing. We ask more and more from our clothes. We long for comfort, beauty and maximum functionality: we want long-lasting, ready-to-wear garments that protect us from the elements. Fabrics that always look sharp and accompany us on life’s busiest days whether we are on the road, relaxing or – why not? – on a skateboard in between appointments. More importantly, we want our well-being to be paired with respect for the environment.
The collection reaffirms the forward-looking nature of the mill as well as its aesthetic and functional values. Ever attentive to the needs of the market, Zignone reinterprets the look of its fabrics, updates visual effects and colours, and expands its special Bi-Natural Stretch range via its own exclusive treatment. At the same time, the company reinforces its investment in a quality supply chain that is traceable from raw material to delivery, introducing a label that guarantees a responsible manufacturing in the full respect for nature.

WEAREVER BY ZIGNONE LAB
ZignoneLAB marks the evolution of functional fabrics.
With the launch of WearEver the wool mill presents another novelty. Proof of the company’s renewed commitment to Research&Development, starting in 2019 the most advanced products created using cutting-edge techniques in the wool mill can be found in the ZignoneLAB family. This selection derives from the company’s passion for discovering new, functional performance in wool fabrics, taking the progress of textile tradition to an entirely new level.
An absolute first: the practicality of WearEver
The wool mill has always considered technical innovation an essential part of design, and with its WearEver line it introduces the first Bi-Natural Stretch pure wool fabrics, made by applying a special treatment created in the company’s laboratories. Thanks to this technique, these products combine the greatest natural flexibility with the comfort of an Easy Care line.

This series is aimed at fashion brands that put an emphasis on performance, and intends to offer their customers clothing that can be worn worry-free, offering the greatest stretch with the least stress, on even the busiest of days.
NEW FLEXIBILITY IN MOVEMENT
Lanificio Zignone launches the first Bi-Natural Stretch line and other new ideas.

FIFTY YEARS OF ZIGNONE AT LA TRIENNALE DI MILANO
This year Zignone proudly celebrates 50 years of evolution of the best Biellese tradition, bringing a new awareness to its idea
of contemporary elegance.
Lanificio Zignone celebrates at La Triennale di Milano its 50th anniversary of activity in the heartland of wool-making excellence. Its half a century of stylistic refinement represents a search for the perfect balance between creativity and classic style through a constant study of details – in the design, in the colour of the yarns and in the choice of finishing. Its half a century of progress has been marked by technical awards and innovations that have allowed the wool mill to establish itself in the sector and become a key presence among the suppliers of the major international clothing brands.
A STORY OF MOVING SHADES: FABRICS WITH SPONTANEOUS DEPTH
In the year of Zignone’s fiftieth anniversary, the fabric collection for autumn-winter of 2019 pays tribute to the dynamism that distinguishes the wool mill since its origins, bringing a new awareness to its idea of contemporary elegance.
Zignone relies on its entire repertoire of skills, focusing on exploring special shades and visual effects capable of captivating by giving fabric the impression, even at a distance, of being in relief.
The principal novelty is the play of shadows and tones, in which the interweaving of fancy yarns creates textures animated by subtle contrasts of light. The most distinctive fabrics offer elaborate designs, studied in the many variations between motif and background to give future garments the pleasing, three-dimensional vivacity we look for today.
The colours follow the same line in a study of shades and special tones.
The richness of fabrics that are attractive to the eye and touch drives Zignone in its work. The most complex processes can lead to an effortless refinement and the collection demonstrates this through a wide selection of creations achieved with jaspé and mouliné yarns, with knots and with a brushed wool-silk blend. Together with the designs, the depth in fabrics is enhanced, especially the fancy yarns and mixed weaves.
It’s a mix of techniques, precise details and an elegant weave. Thanks to the care for advanced finishing, A/W 2019 fabrics present an elegance with a lived-in character, with features that catch the eye, and thus continue to renew the dynamism of the range – a hallmark of the wool mill’s history.
CHARM AND FUNCTIONALITY FOR CONTEMPORARY LIFESTYLES
Lanificio Zignone presents their S/S 2019 collection with an innovative design and performance: high-quality fabrics, elegant and dynamic like the men they are thought for. The event focuses on sustainability and it is a chance to illustrate the mill’s commitment to conscious water use.
Contemporary elegance is created by intertwining: new trends with advanced performance, attention to detail with responsible production. With its fabrics for the spring/summer 2019 collection, Zignone continues its research into uniting the best traditions from Biella with future requirements in terms of style, performance and also attention to sustainability. The mill’s collection is aimed at brands that intend to create refined and functional garments by proposing new technological and creative solutions, such as greater elasticity and impermeability or the study of original three-dimensional designs.
From 6th to the 8th of February at Milano Unica, expect to experience first-hand this style and business vision in an exhibition dedicated to water, a vital element in the history of Biella and a focal point of Zignone’s environmental-friendly activities.
EVENTPLUS S/S 2019
Lanificio Zignone - The Contemporary Classic, persevere with its cutting-edge tradition by launching EVENTPLUS, its latest stretch fabric collection dedicated to events. A collection in continuous evolution and an extension of ACTIVE, which has become a style staple in the business-suits range, throughout these past seasons. Stretch fibres have been introduced both in pure wool, as well as in polyester blends, on solid bases and jacquard designs.
The uniqueness in this Event collection focuses on the search for unusual features, where classic prints and designs merge together into a playful blend of colours and structures. Three-dimensional textures with flocked designs offer an unconventional look to those who want to stand out. This range aims to create a positive emotion to those who choose to wear a garment created with Zignone fabrics during special occasions.
The dominant colour this season remains blue in all its hues, from petrol to midnight blue. There is also the return of asphalt grey, especially in silk blends, where the colour appears more vibrant. What completes this collection is the ever present Event Book, offering an extensive assortment of stock service fabrics.

THE A/W 18-19 COLLECTION
In the new collection, contemporary elegance fuses with innovative materials to create fabrics with a new concept of style. Movement is the keyword for stylistic exploration focusing on suits with three-dimensional patterns and weaves, breaking with the past. A new look to win over the business traveller seeking clothing which unites originality and excellent performance. To demonstrate it are new pinstripes on classic suits, novel patterns and piece-embroidered fabric for jackets. Stretch textiles are in the limelight for the F/W 2018-19 collection, in particular for the Active range, which is given new life thanks to the unprecedented comfort of Lycra. Jaspé wool sets the suits apart, while flocking gives the fabrics a velvet-like feel. The focus on micro-effects is coloured by a palette which spans from reds and oranges, in warm shades of bronze, to must-have blue variants, petrol tones in particular. The collection wouldn’t be complete without Jacquard-weave fabrics for cashmere blend jackets, while wool and silk tweed is enriched by colourful inserts.

IN SHANGHAI FOR MILANO UNICA
As Milano Unica Shanghai approaches, Lanificio Zignone is all set up to present its latest collection S/S 2018. Following the success at Milano Unica Milano, the fabric mill from Biella, is looking forward to propose its fine textiles to the Asian market.
What buyers are expected to look out for in the upcoming fabrics trends for S/S 2018 are functional, athleisure styles contemporised through our fabrics; the blazer becomes the most featured fabric for jackets this summer; the colour palette is a harmonious mix of traditional neutrals and some energetic colours; light grey features as an accent, whereas cobalt blue becomes an integral part of this season.
Zignone will be present at Milano Unica Shanghai on the 15-16-17 March 2017 / National Exhibition and Convention Centre - Hall 5.2
TRADITIONAL FABRICS AND CONTEMPORARY MATERIALS IN ORIGINAL COMBINATIONS
A brand new season, a different mood. The 2018 Spring-Summer collection caters to the demands of a continuously evolving market in an increasingly creative manner. Experimentation, the keyword of our design research, targets modern comfort: the suit as a raw material that sculpts the frame, fabrics that conform to the body following its movement in a context where quality blends in with creativity through unexpected combinations. From the hot foil printing on a wool polyester base for formal wear, to the creation of patterned weaves for everyday use. The high-performance characteristics of the tailoring collection Super 150’s is enhanced by E-Motion natural stretch finishing. A new concept in textural structure comes to life: Lycra is being blended with natural fibres or wool, where composition and patterns create a 3D effect revolutionizing the perception of formal ware. Accuracy and creativity in jacquard for classic cut suits and a combination of natural fibres such as wool, cotton and linen for the summer collection. Fabrics may be personalized in an infinite colour palette, exploring new Italian style frontiers. The details that make the difference: bouclé and small loops enrich clothing of refined elegance. An artisanal approach is what links the different aspects of a collection, a choice of yarn blends such as the new jaspé, very similar in aspect to the piece dyed finishing.
ZIGNONE PRESENT AT MILANO UNICA 2017

In occasion of the relocation of Milano Unica, Lanificio Zignone revamped its exhibition stand design. The new space reflects the ‘contemporary classic’ approach the company has chosen to peruse as a concept throughout its various communication tools. The area has been divided into three main sections, creating a more spacious working space for the sales team to host clients. The central area was dedicated to the finished garments that hung gracefully on made-to-measure asymmetric wooden racks. Every desk featured a different monochrome illustration by the artist Jins. The less formal area was dedicated to a co-branding project with Rollor Technology® and to the company’s social media activity #feelzignone. Clients were also invited to relax in a seating area dedicated to Italian delicacies such as wine and cheese. All elements within the stand have been design and made to measure for Lanificio Zignone.
MILANO UNICA / SEPTEMBER 2016
At the 23rd edition of Milano Unica, completely renovated in its new location at Rho Fiera, Lanificio Zignone launched their A/W 2017/18 collection focusing mainly on research and colour effects.

The movement created by the structures transforms and redefines classic designs in both suits and jackets. Within this seasons’ colour palette, what stands out are the greenish blue hues, light greys with blue highlights, metallics and opal greys.
