5 QUESTIONS TO… Rocco Ragni Knitting factory

“I am a tailor 2.0″: this is how Rocco Ragni (below), founder, CEO and creative director of the homonymous fashion brand based in the hills of Compresso, not far from Perugia, likes to define himself.

How important is your history and your artisan know-how?

«My grandmother and my mother passed on to me their knowledge and passion for knitwear linked to the territory. Today technology is fundamental, and the mission is to ensure that this excellence continues to be appreciated in Italy and abroad».

Can you tell us about the spring-summer 2023 collection?

«Knitwear is always the highlight, but I also added feminine and romantic dresses, fresh and fluid, with the idea of playing together with overlaps (above, two outfits)».

What are the garments to focus on?

«The micro pulls in baby shades, those perforated with lurex and the over light models. I think the 70s shirt dresses and the women’s jacket without buttons, with bellows sleeves, will also be a must».

What processes and fabrics did you use?

«We have developed exclusive prints and worked with lightweight fabrics and natural, favoring comfort and softness. Cashmere Clinic is instead an assistance program to recondition the old sweater with a view to sustainability».

Which palette did you choose?

«Pink in all its forms, from pastel to antique, up to shocking, to which we have combined summer tones such as green. But there is also orange, blues and color blocking».
