Printed underwear collection

The new Lingerie Printed Collection P/E 2019 by Piave Maitex uses trendy designs, most current and required fabrics and printing techniques, primarily the burn-outs, resulting in the new range of unprecedented base fabrics and innovative effects.

The first theme of the collection P/E 2019 is called Natural. It is inspired by nature and its colours. Colours range from warmer beige to lighter dove grey, up to more intense green. Ice grey and medium grey are printed on optical white colour small motifs. The white chalk on white draws romantic flowers. Medium sized refined flowers drawn with fine threads are printed on fabrics for burn-outs, creating sophisticated transparencies suitable also for petticoats.

Pastel colours make the Atmosphere theme more colourful and youthful. Small flowers, geometric motifs on lightweight coloured grounds are made with pigment dyes. The colours are green water, apricot, rose on which the company printed slightly more intense tonal effects. Small motifs with gold and silver foils complete the theme.

Finally, the company presents its Indigo theme. Strongly inspired by the Indigo colour, milk coloured grounds are tinged of this intense colour until diluted to a light celestial. The designs are plain geometrical shapes simulating jacquard fabrics. Burn-out grounds coloured by tonal burn-out areas create a light-dark effect for more refined flowers, suitable for demanding customers.
