Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands – February 9th, 2026 – Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V., one of the world’s leading document solutions companies, is pleased to announce that Kyocera Document Solutions Italy has extended its partnership with Flora Rabitti, designer and founder of the brand Florania, for the presentation of the new FW26 collection during Milan Fashion Week. The collaboration is built around and strengthened by FOREARTH technology, Kyocera’s inkjet textile printing solution that is redefining the paradigms of ethical fashion through a production process with an extremely low environmental impact.

A collection between memory and nature  

Florania’s new proposal stems from a deep reflection on artisanal memory and the liberation of matter. Inspired by the collective work of seamstresses, folk songs, and the cinematic imagery of Bertolucci’s film "Novecento", the collection explores the concept of rebirth through a fusion with nature. The season’s mantra, "If we are all one, you can’t hurt me," expresses a need for protection and freedom in an often-fragmented society.

The silhouettes present a fascinating dualism: on one hand, the complexity of textile manipulations on silk and light fabrics inspired by the 1930s; on the other, tailored outerwear with historical rigour. Central to the collection are leathers sourced from circular supply chains, crafted with artisanal techniques and 3D pattern construction that restore dignity and centrality to recovered materials.

All materials used – from cashmere and denim to silk – are sourced from deadstock of Italian textile excellence, transforming living surfaces charged with history into a tactile archive that celebrates a femininity free from stereotypes and social pressures.

Cashmere, lace, denim, leather, and silk become living surfaces, charged with memory and artisanal significance: a tactile archive that evokes childhood, craftsmanship, past lives, and a physical freedom free from social pressures on the female role and form. These high-quality Italian fabrics are sourced from deadstock of Italian companies.

The prints, a key element among the brand's codes, feature references to lace and floral evolutions with nods to 1970s psychedelic graphics or the animist surrealism of Leonora Carrington. These patterns were produced in Milan, powered by Kyocera Document Solutions’ FOREARTH technology.

This innovation represents a concrete response to one of the textile industry's greatest challenges: water pollution. Thanks to a system that reduces water consumption by up to 99% compared to traditional methods, FOREARTH allows for printing on a wide range of fibres, including recycled ones, while optimising energy efficiency and drastically cutting waste production. It is a "water-free" process that allows Florania’s creative vision to be expressed without compromising the ecosystem.

Beyond technological innovation, the partnership is built on an ethical production model rooted in the territory between Milan and Mantua. The collection is created in collaboration with Drittofilo Mantova, a social atelier founded by Lubiam and supported by Caritas. In this space, "making fashion" becomes an act of care and responsibility: expert pattern makers and seamstresses pass on artisanal knowledge to women from backgrounds of social vulnerability or violence, ensuring continuity for the Italian manufacturing tradition.

The extended collaboration between Kyocera Document Solutions and Florania reaffirms a shared vision: proving that design excellence and Italian cultural heritage can be elevated by digital technology. By supporting independent brands and employing cutting-edge solutions like FOREARTH, Kyocera Document Solutions continues to lead the transformation of the textile sector toward a business model that is more conscious, efficient, and respectful of natural resources.

In April 2025, the FOREARTH Experience Studio was inaugurated in Milan – a showroom where textile and fashion professionals can experience FOREARTH firsthand through live demonstrations.
