1. 9th October to the 15th October - Weekly Blog: Innovative Fibres
Dear all,
today I will speak about the "Fabulous Fabrics" of LV
Magical prints, ethereal tulles, virtual textures… At Louis
Vuitton, innovation and imagination go hand in hand – Discover three
fascinating fabrics.
Slim gel silk
Materials: silk and silicone
Ready-to-dye white silk is assembled with zips and buttons to
create a relief effect. The silicone shapes are cut out with a laser, then
affixed one by one by hand.
Solar tulle
Materials: tulle and metallic film
A metallic film is first bonded to a tulle base, then laser-cut to the design requested by the studio.
The two materials are heated in a press, then the protective plastic film is removed from the metallic sequin to create the sheen effect.
This fabric is used as a neo-embroidery.

Python skin is washed out, then painted white.
This neutral base is then silkscreen-printed with a pixelated python motif.
