The retro fabric, available on our website, is made of polyester, bright colors and prints of different patterns that evoke past eras: extremely versatile, in fact, lends itself to many possibilities of use, especially to create beautiful Carnival costumes.
The term “retrò” refers to the “old style” and, specifically, to styles ranging from the twenties to the eighties of the twentieth century. The wider connotation of the retrò style, however, comes to a return to fashion, the timeless one, made of unique pieces and iconic details.
The retro fabric made of polyester recalls the bold and colorful chintz of the ’40s and ’50s, the amazing psychedelic swirls of the ’60s and ’70s and the neon colors typical of the ’80s.
For this reason, the term retr is often associated with the term vintage: in fact, both are used interchangeably. 300 / 2000 à é è ì î ó ò ù Vintage, in fact, refers to objects that actually go back to a certain period of time, while retro refers to the elements associated with the ethics of design of a certain period, regardless of whether they were actually produced during that period.
The retrò fabric is therefore at the center of a wider aesthetic and follows the popularity of nostalgia, in which houses and fashion receive a vintage treatment so as to seem transported in previous decades.
