After last February's change of ownership, with CP Company passing from Sportswear Company to Enzo Fusco's FGF Industry the new direction began by experimenting sportswear casuals.
The "new" CP Company will is rooted strongly in the family tree of the iconic designer sportswear brand, with a "back to the future" move, in other words, the reason behind its creation: experimentation.
The new collection therefore focuses on the soul of the brand, more sporty than fashion; a casual concept generated and developed to seek innovative materials, experiments supported by the excellence of the Italian production.
Research and Technologies
Kicking off with outdoor and military apparel, CP Company's Spring-Summer 2011 collection develops materials and technological studies, with garment treatments that offer unique, inimitable aspects to give clothing a new, contemporary flavour without losing echoes of memory.
Flax is blended with nylon for a new techno look, using a special resin coating that conjures up memory of oilskins used by seamen of yesteryear.
Nylon has been completely transformed and evolved with metameric treatment that gives the fabric a non-stop colour-changing effect. Inserts of cotton and other materials add new dimensions, combining a balance of depth of colour, textured effects and various sheens.
Hemp is dyed using a special treatment that leaves the colour on the surface and gives the garment a frosted look, as if consumed by sea salt.
There is a special focus on a navy style, with a treatment that gives the fabric a slightly crumpled look, as if it were dried in the sun. This collection offers models with such authentic detail and fabrics that the garments could be mistaken for real vintage.
