Prato ( I ) > 03.07.2026 - 27.09.2026

The thread that combines inspiration with creation

A journey through the outfits made by the designers of today and tomorrow of fashion schools around the world, supported and accompanied by the companies of the group Feel the Yarn®.

With an edition dedicated to the theme of color, the Textile Museum presents in Prato an exhibition on innovation in the world of yarns and knitwear with the creations of students from the best fashion schools in the world and new designers selected as part of the competition, now in its seventeenth edition, “Feel the Contest 2026 – Master edition”.

The exhibition takes place in collaboration with the Consorzio Promozione Filati – CPF which combines the main producers of Italian yarns for knitting, weaving and needleware that use wool, cotton, cashmere, angora, linen and multiple fibers of natural and artificial origin.

The consortium, with the Feel the Yarn® brand, has been promoting and spreading the talent of the new generations for seventeen years thanks to the first Contest dedicated to knitwear, which allows you to create fruitful connections between young international designers and the Italian manufacture of the highest quality yarns.

With “ FEEL THE CONTEST 2026 – MASTER EDITION – The Thread that combines inspiration with creation” until September 27, 2026, the work of emerging designers – exhibited during the Pitti Immagine Filati #99 fair at the Feel the Yarn stand – are for the first time presented at the Textile Museum that supports the young talents of today and the textile creativity of the future.

On display will be 33 outfits selected for “Feel the Contest 2026 – Master Edition”, the competition aimed at Master students with specialization in knitwear among the leading fashion schools around the world, including London College of Fashion (UK), Politecnico di Milano (IT), Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology (China), Istituto Marangoni Firenze, Bunka Fashion College (JP) and many others.

Each of the outfits on display at the Museum, a unique and original work, was combined with a company of the Feel The Yarn® group that created and supplied its yarns for the new creative proposal.
