A step towards the #fashion world by #alcantara was proved to be successful by the world through a runway show, attended by special guests.

The interpretation of #alcantara by #ys celebrates the versatility of the iconic luxury glam material with a sustainable soul. Using #alcantara #ys created a mix that centres tradition design for the future.
From the silver coats that represent the symbol of a futuristic world, puffy coats and pants that play the central role of accessory-piece which declare a deliberately eccentric style intention. The material is the indisputable star with its bright colours and never seen patterns, fluorescent or monochrome. #alcantara strips were knitted together to create long dresses and sweaters. Neon yellow #alcantara strips were knitted with black wool by hand in #ys atelier for beautiful outfit. The motif of Persian carpet was printed on #alcantara to interpret a long wrap-up skirt.
