Beyond the Ordinary.
Ricciarini 74 represents the most advanced expression of Ricciarini’s textile research. A line in which fabric helps define the form of a garment and the visual language of a collection.
Three-dimensional textures, transparency, contrasts between matte and shine, special weaves and sophisticated constructions open up new possibilities for fashion houses and creative directors seeking fabrics with a distinctive character.
Experimentation is measured against the needs of the project: intuition takes shape through the fabric’s surface, structure and movement, until it finds expression in the garment.
Research begins with the possibilities of the material.
The twist of a yarn can change its character; a weave can create relief and depth; a finish can alter the hand, the play of light and movement. Each decision establishes a new relationship between textile construction and visual effect.
Ricciarini 74 explores these possibilities by considering fabric as a whole: weight, structure, behaviour, relationship with the silhouette and intended use. The freedom of experimentation meets the precision required to turn research into a material ready for a collection.
Some fabrics complement a garment. Others transform the way it is perceived.
A structured surface can give substance to a volume. Transparency changes the relationship between layers. The contrast between matte and shine lends new depth to a silhouette.
Ricciarini 74 works with this expressive potential. Fabric does more than influence the garment’s final appearance: it becomes part of its identity, introduces new proportions and expands the vocabulary of the collection.

A creative idea takes on greater definition when it meets the right fabric.
Ricciarini 74 offers designers and creative teams a selection of materials with which to explore volume, layering, texture, movement and the interplay of light. Different constructions suggest different applications, from a surface that defines form to a material that introduces lightness or contrast.
The strength of these fabrics emerges through their relationship with the project. Each is considered both for what it expresses and for how it responds to cutting, the silhouette and the designer’s intentions. This is where research finds a tangible direction.
Art, architecture, cinema, photography and design shape the visual world of Ricciarini 74. Proportion, rhythm, light and composition become ways of observing fabric and questioning its possibilities.
A visual reference may suggest surface tension, a geometric rhythm or a different relationship between solid and open spaces. Textile expertise translates these stimuli into choices of yarn, weave and finish.
Through this encounter, visual culture enters the fabric construction process, rather than remaining a decorative reference.
Ricciarini has transformed wool into Ultra-Wool by pushing multi-ply yarn construction to its limits. The result is a fabric with a clean, contemporary appearance. Through an interplay of geometric forms, wool takes on new structures, creating a distinctive three-dimensional effect.
From the combination of cotton and cashmere comes a compact fabric with a soft, clean hand. A minimal and elegant aesthetic. An important and at the same time perfect fabric for everyday wear, ideal for garments with a natural and refined style.
A contemporary performance fabric made from RWS Wool, the two twisted ends give a modern and elegant look. It is Ricciarini’s modern interpretation of a natural yarn like wool. A fabric with a sartorial hand, with an aesthetic that ranges from matte to shiny ideal for garments with a refined style.
