The Canali brothers immediately began making elegant suits and men’s clothes, hand-made garments in classic style but with new fabrics and groundbreaking techniques that soon got the fashion world talking. The Canali fashion house has been in the luxury men’s fashion arena for almost 80 years. Now this family business is being run by the third generation and is one of the most famous Italian menswear specialists in the world.

The retail markets in Shanghai pay more attention to sophisticated knitwear in spring and summer. Lightweight cardis and Chanel-inspired pieces are extremely prevalent. Besides, lace paneling is the best craft to express feminine charm. To color displaying, knitwear puts emphasis on simple and elegant experiences.

The world is changing, and the second exhibition of Playtime Shanghai will present an image of the children's universe, that takes on today's social challenges in order to protect the freedom to be openly and courageously unique. It is the incarnation of a world of solidarity in its diversity, of a "wild" state of childhood where creativity and spontaneity, individualism and simple pleasures of the senses are combined. It is a joyful disorder, in which each one finds a place, the happy wasteland of a future whose complexity is not put in doubt, but where the collective, the freedom and the sensuality celebrate new utopias.

Except for the four macro themes and key yarns, S/S 2022 SpinExpo Shanghai also presents new knitwear designs brought by exhibitors. This report will analyse the design points of knitwear from the aspects of key silhouette, yarn, stitching and pattern.

S/S 2022 SpinExpo Shanghai is exhibited in Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. And this yarn exhibition is divided into four themes, The Dream Abound, The Love Within, The Escape Away and The Move Forward. The development of natural fiber, functional fiber and creative fiber upgrades the yarn. Comfort, security and eco-friendly sustainable development are still the key points of yarn and knit cloth. The application of recyclable materials further pushes forward the process of sustainable development. Besides, the exhibition also sets a trend zone Mid-Point, which releases the predicted themes of A/W 22/23.

In order to satisfy the market requirement of eco-friendly and healthy products, S/S 2022 SpinExpo Shanghai mainly recommends two parts, Natural Fibers and Creative Fibers. Natural Fibers include cashmere, wool, linen, cotton, paper and silk, which underline the harmony between people and nature and pursuit natural and comfortable effects. Creative Fibers include Tencel, organic fiber, recycled fiber, anti-bacterial fiber, functional fiber and EcoVero. These fibers can improve the dressing property and meet more consumption needs because of their anti-bacterial, bacteriostasis, anti-odor, anti-UV, anti-fouling, fast dry and easy-care properties.

Different from the past offline exhibition form, the 88th Pitti Filati is presented on the digital platform Pitti Connect to display the S/S 2022 collection because of the epidemic. Influenced by the transition of consumers' life habit and consumption concept, the development of yarn and knit cloth pays more attention to the safety, comfort and versatility. Environmental protection and sustainable development concepts keep influencing the yarn development. Anti-bacterial and anti-microbial yarn needs creation and extension. Natural fibers like cotton and linen are the key to summer, and the application of fancy yarn is also important.
