On the picturesque shore of Lake Como, in the town of Cernobbio, in the villa "Ebra", every year a small but influential textile exhibition Proposte takes place.

The exhibition in this paradise of Italy is closed. There is no random public on it, only invited experts and big buyers. At this review of textile factories in Europe, one could find Italian silks and Spanish jacquards, Belgian flax and French satin, English tweeds and lace. Most manufacturers have focused on natural materials both in pure form and in fancy combinations of flax with wool, cashmere - with silk. And the addition of synthetic fibers was justified by the incredible softness and plasticity of the fabrics or the strength of the material. Among the decorative motifs, the ball was ruled by flower drawings. They looked organic in the classic edition - on silks and velvet handmade and on modern fabrics with digital printing. Against the backdrop of traditional geometric ornaments and stripes, designs with optical and three-dimensional effects looked fresh. They were created with the help of metallized, shimmering, pearl textures and three-dimensional patterns, made using the technology of heat shrinkage or due to a special method of weaving threads.

The color palette of the fabrics presented at the exhibition was remembered primarily by elegant light-beige shades, yellow color (in the range from pale moon to mustard), new power of pure red color, as well as its shades (from pink to wine).
