All About Viva Magenta, the Color of the Year 2023. Pic: Pantone

Is it rosy red? Reddish purple? Perhaps crimson red or rather, a deep raspberry hue. All these nuances that transition between red, pink and purple define the unique Viva Magenta , the colour that Pantone has chosen to guide 2023 and inspire disciplines related to art and design .“ It is brave and intrepid, and a pulsating colour whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative”, declared Leatrice Eiseman , Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute . Viva Magenta 18-1750, this is its technical name, is a tone that vibrates with energy and vigor. “A lively red that encourages experimentation and unrestrained self-expression. An electrifying, limitless tone that comes through with a bold statement,” said Eiseman .

“Viva Magenta promotes a joyful and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative”

The arrival of this enigmatic red is not accidental. Pantone introduced the Viva Magenta shade in 2019, but it quickly rose in popularity to rise to stardom as the Colour of the Year 2023. This boom has been largely fueled by events in society in recent years. As Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Colour Institute , put it, “It’s an unconventional colour for an unconventional time.” The experience of Covid and its social and economic consequences have forced changes that, voluntarily or not, have transformed people’s lifestyles. And there, after two years of uncertainty expressed through cold tones ( Very Peri, 2022) or dual (Ultimate Gray + Illuminating , 2021), now comes a hybrid tone with enough personality to be able to light up 2023. Unlike its predecessor, Viva Magenta combines coldness and warmth in the same colour, and aims to mix the physical with the virtual, a dichotomy that cannot be more relevant today with the rise of virtual reality.

“It’s an unconventional colour for an unconventional moment”

Viva Magenta has already been spotted by trendhunters who work at the Pantone Colour Institute This choice is never the result of whim or chance, on the contrary, it is the result of a deep sociological and anthropological analysis of today’s society. Choosing the colour that will mark the year combines research, method and instinct. And magenta was there, in worlds as varied as fashion, cosmetics, concept store design , digital art, social networks or decoration. The question was, why pay attention to that carmine red that is already present in society and what emotional and psychological values is it transmitting? Pantone quickly looked up its meaning. According to the international authority on colour, in this era of technology, the aim is precisely to be inspired by nature and what is real. Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta is inspired by cochineal red, one of the most precious of all natural dyes, as well as one of nature’s strongest and brightest hues. Therefore, rooted in the primordial, the colour of 2023 reconnects with the original matter, revitalizes the spirit and helps build a new inner strength. “We set our sights on a colour that highlights our need to shift our perspective, highlights our desire to feel empowered, and gives us the strength to boldly, possibly, and fearlessly launch into a new path with complete confidence.” Pressman expressed.

“We have set our sights on a colour that makes us want to feel empowered”

Seen this way, Viva Magenta is a hue that is presented as a revitalizing balm that connects our interior to project ourselves strongly to the exterior.

How to apply Viva Magenta in our daily lives?

Reddish tones and explosive mixtures such as intense pink-red have been imposed everywhere, from the catwalks to the metaverse, and where it has the most possibilities of expansion is in interior design, be it a private home or a commercial establishment. According to Eiseman, kitchens (and appliances), which have long harbored a respect for red, can now be imbued with “a touch of novelty” through Viva Magenta and its ability to break away from the “same red hue of always”, which defined previous generations. Pantone 2023 colour is also suitable on glassware or any other reflective surface, and can even nestle in cushions and other small decorative items to make a “beautiful, dramatic and theatrical statement” in your home. Although such a lively colour can intimidate or condition the current of neutral tones that are prevailing in decoration, the truth is that Pantone affirms that consumers are more prepared than ever to begin to embrace all the possibilities of colour.

And in fashion, how is it appreciated?

There is no doubt. The fashionable colour of 2022 has been the brightest fuchsia pink, a faithful ally of Valentino and its explosive Pink PP shade, and emblem of the entire Barbiecore aesthetic. Now, Viva Magenta is presented as a natural evolution of that hue, providing less stridency and keeping its magnetism intact. In truth, red has been one of the most repeated tones on the winter catwalks and for summer it returns with force, but it remains to be seen how the next collections that are being developed for 2023/2024 evolve so that Viva Magenta appears even more strength.

As the powerful colour that it is, Viva Magenta does not go unnoticed and takes centre stage in any outfit, even if it appears in small doses. On the one hand, it feels perfect surrounded by neutral tones such as black or white, or both together. They are the colours that best suit you with effortlessly flattering looks. On the other hand, for a more groundbreaking result, the colour of 2023 combines with its chromatic range: pastel pinks, lilacs or fuchsias, and also with complementary blues or greens, providing a touch of rebellion and transgression. In any case, if fashion needs a dose of optimism, strength and joy, to move forward it will inevitably embrace Viva Magenta. We’ll see it…

Fely Campo. Spring-Summer 2023. Pic: Gus Geijo

Gratacós has shone with its own light at the Great Spanish Fashion Week by stepping on the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid catwalk, held in mid-September. Evidently, this has ocurred so indirectly through designers who are regular users of our and who have once again trusted in our know-how to create the magnificent collections for the coming summer season. In this edition we want to especially mention the collaboration that our family business has made with the designer Fely Campo in an urban and sensual SS23 proposal, where luxury is appreciated in every detail. Not only the creator from Salamanca has relied on Gratacós fabrics to devise works of art in movement. Other designers have also supported us, such as Álvaro Calafat, Aurelia Gil, Duyos, JC Pajares, Isabel Sanchís, Malne, Maison Mesa, Odette, Pilar Dalbat and Redondo Brand. To follow, we expose some details of each collection and also more details of the exhibited looks.

Fely Campo

Fely Campo understands fashion as “a tireless search for beauty”. A language that moves perseveringly and in which the designer from Salamanca finds the balance between the silence and the noise of our current way of life. Under this inspiration, the creator transmits in ‘Nagore’ an idea of sensuality that aligns with the frenetic urban rhythm of cities like Madrid, Tokyo or New York. Surprising cities in full vibration with which Campo alludes to notions such as the maelstrom, vibration and drive, but also evokes other values such as stillness, subtlety and desire, through fabrics, patterns and silhouettes that want to participate in this urban bustle.

Thus, ‘Nagore’ is a luxury prêt-à-porter collection with which Fely Campo wants to represent the movement of our current rhythm of life. To do this, the designer, who has been dressing women from all over the world for more than 40 years, creates a contemporary image based on the concept of fluidity with ductile and versatile garments that reflect the feelings of today’s woman who is looking for Spanish author fashion aware of the need to consume sustainable fashion. Following her elegant and sober style, Fely Campo clings to an excellent pattern design with silhouettes that love subtlety, fabrics that become vulnerable to movement, exuberant floral prints and in a rich colour palette that ranges from neutrals: whites, light grays and black, to the radiant shades of fuchsia, orange and red with metallic nuances. The designer’s SS23 proposal is, above all, an explosion of feminine beauty in full motion.

Álvaro Calafat

Álvaro Calafat debuts on the Spanish catwalk with a new emotional collection where art and architecture merge with fashion. His third proposal is a heartfelt tribute to the death of one of the young designer’s best friends from Malaga. To talk about death, but also about its connection with life, love and sex, Calafat takes those present to the Khajuraho temple in India and does so through a free and creative interpretation of patterns, 3D structures, volumes and minute details. The silhouettes become daring, the fabrics combine rigidity with lightness and some surreal elements characteristic of her irreverent style do not go unnoticed.

Aurelia Gil

Aurelia Gil pays tribute to the trajectory of her brand, which turns 20 in 2023, through a timeless proposal that is a declaration of intent. Thus, ‘3 6 5’ represents a single collection a year made up of garments that fit together and work at any time of the day, in order to take another step towards sustainability.

The Canarian firm’s collection is made up of a large selection of the brand’s iconic garments that have been revised and updated through design and the use of new materials, such as Lycra yarn for crochet pieces. Gil is also committed to colour contrast and the mixture of fabrics. ‘3 6 5’ also has the added vision provided by Canarian artisans who have created the accessories that accompany the collection to reaffirm the values of tradition, craftsmanship and trade.

Duyos

With its own recognizable style, Duyos finds the inspiration for the next SS23 collection in Estonia through a sensory journey through its stunning nature, its crafts and tradition, and even its gastronomy. To translate experiences into fashion, the designer from Madrid allies himself with cotton jacquards, embroidery, organza, silk and tulle, which he uses to illustrate the floral explosion of early summer, but also other elements of native landscapes. Forest greens, luminous pinks, floral purples, evocative golds… which, subtly combined, represent the colourful energy of the country.
In the new Juan Duyos collection, his usual stylistic traits are not lacking either: overlapping garments, play on volumes and a mixture of motifs and textures that represent the playful but functional spirit based on handcrafted sewing.

Isabel Sanchis

Isabel Sanchis has celebrated 30 years in fashion while keeping its credentials intact. The objective of the Valencian designer, who borders on excellence in needlework, has always been to magnify the femininity of contemporary women by working with care on the chosen materials and fabrics, with exclusive embroideries, strategic volumes and very precise pattern making.

The next collection for summer 2023 represents a very personal collection based on signature elements, flowers and volume. To do this, Isabel Sanchís interprets flowers in different ways, maintaining elegant and extremely feminine designs. The proposal is eclectic, it represents the diversity in today’s society, and there are pieces that start from laser-cut neoprene, passing through lighter pieces of organza or chiffon, with other sewn garments with volumes made with recycled liquid satin and feathers. The colours used are striking, where red, pink and green predominate, giving strength to the pieces in this collection for a woman of 2023.

JCPAJARES

JCPAJARES reaffirms its commitment to fashion without seasonality with its ‘Annual 22 23’ proposal. It represents the third annual collection where summer, winter and timeless garments come together through innovative, conscious and environmentally friendly designs.

‘ANNUAL 22-23’ becomes the firm’s most special collection thanks to the collaboration with master craftsmen. A union that revives and provides new aesthetic codes to centuries-old techniques that are about to disappear. Ceramics, blown glass, hand embroidery, wicker, fabrics made on century-old looms navigate through a collection that strengthens the character, style and stamp of the young designer’s signature. Also noteworthy are the innovative and sophisticated patterns, the sexy silhouettes combined with other oversize, the strategic gathers and the unexpected openings that materialize thanks to wool cloths, organza and silk dots, crepes and neoprene, among others.

Malne

Paloma Álvarez and Juanjo Mánez, the design tandem that hides behind the firm, is inspired by the symbolism of birth to present a dazzling collection in every way that is set in a hostile environment such as the desert. In ‘Birth’, Malne reflects on a process of transformation in a positive light: the end of an era, and the birth of new ethical paradigms and ways of life, in which nature is part of the beauty of that necessary mutation.
To take it to the field of fashion, Malne uses bright fabrics that reflect the sun’s rays on the sand and shades characteristic of the desert landscape such as sand tones or night blues. The silhouettes are daring without neglecting the sophistication that characterizes the Spanish brand.

Maison Mesa

The controversial figure of Elagabalus, Roman emperor of the 3rd century AD, inspires the new summer collection of Meson Mesa. An irreverent emperor, who breaks with the gender schemes, with established sexuality and with the power systems, who grants women the political power destined exclusively for men. Under this influence, femininity, desire and power are the central elements around which all the garments revolve, a story about feminine power without ties.

On the catwalk, Juan Mesa’s firm that mixes tradition and avant-garde, exhibits geometric pieces that generate volumes and drapes according to their construction structure. Also evening dresses along with day pieces such as sweatshirts, shirts or jackets, all united under the influence of the sun god Helios, which reflect its light with nuances and sparkles, with its colour or with embroidery and applications. The colour palette is bright and ranges from white to yellow, passing through celestial blue and gold, dusty greens and nuanced pinks against their more intense versions.

If we talk about fabrics, the new collection mixes classic materials with more contemporary and innovative ones, cotton voile, organdy, satin, mikado, silk muslin and crepes with metal fabrics, shiny and lurex finishes in Jacquard or knit, going through metallic or translucent sequins and others that create camouflage military embroidery. Fabrics that reflect light with their shine also predominate, with lurex, with satin weaves, fringed fabrics that add shine and movement, even fabrics that change their colour after continuous exposure to sunlight. In short, Helios is present from the concept to its textile manifestation.

Pilar Dalbat

Pilar Torrecillas, creative director of the brand, is inspired by the heritage monuments of her native Granada to present a harmonious collection that pays homage to native architecture.

On the catwalk, Pilar Dalbat composes 32 looks that combine linen gazar fabrics with tulle, pleats and taffetas creating new silhouettes full of transparencies. Metallic fabrics, present in the designs of each collection, also appear again this time in different textures. Evening garments are characterized by brightness, transparencies and pleats. Dresses, waistcoats and skirts that, accompanied by methacrylate embroidery and glass beads, combine with silky and neoprene tops. Lime green in taffetas, crepes and fantasy gives way to versatile and flowing garments.

In this new collection, Pilar reaffirms once again a way of making slow fashion collections, defending author fashion made in Spain.

Odette

The prêt-à-porter brand Teté by Odette presents a proposal inspired by the self-confident woman who wants to shine and who invests in completely handmade pieces made in Spain. Thus, the ‘Selena’ collection gathers the profile of its consumers with tailor-made looks for them. On the catwalk, the designer Odette Álvarez changes some patterns, now advocating femininity in a more subtle and simple way. Therefore, the silhouettes become minimalist and the fabrics caress the body creating fluid and sensual shapes.

The fabrics rich in crystal details, fringes, beads, plates and sequins, and the colours that flow between gold and silver, resounding fuchsia, white and black are the axis of this proposal inspired by the lights and shadows of the landscape. mole.

The concept

We have ready to go our new collection of fabrics for the Autumn- Winter 2023/2024 season. And this one has once again raised many expectations among the suppliers who have visited us at the Première Vision Paris fair held in July, and also in the first edition of Fashion Rendez-Vous in early September, the new fashion event that complements the great Parisian fair. This optimism, together with the desire to channel the textile sector to return to pre-pandemic stability, encourages us to continue creating new collections of fabrics that combine creativity, innovation and sustainability. The three pillars that support the know-how of Gratacós.

Broadly speaking, the collection decodes and analyzes emerging trends in order to make colour, texture and material decisions that structure the season. In defining the new proposal, we have especially valued the expectations of our customers, quality (key to the longevity of fabrics) and the fight for the environment. That is why we say that the new collection is more sensitive to sustainability, society and the environment because we create and make fabrics that make you daydream. It is also time to think, respect our times, communicate with our audiences, protect ourselves and seek 360º prosperity.

Below, we are going to go into detail about each of the aspects of the new Autumn- Winter 2023/2024 collection.

The concept

Fashion is a sponge because it absorbs the social, the political and the environmental. It is a resilient industry that has the ability to recover from complicated situations to continue moving towards the future with new proposals that adapt to times of uncertainty.

This season we have the need to verbalize, express, transmit and communicate through fabrics how we think, what we feel and what we want. The fabric in this aspect is the means of expression. A conduit that collects human experiences and appeals to the personality of each individual. At the beginning of the pandemic, the conception of fabric was the instinct of protection and care of people. Now it is the means of individual expression. That is why we are concerned about choosing the weight, the appearance, the tactility, the nobility of its fibres to make exceptional creations. The fabric speaks for itself. The fabric speaks of ourselves.

Fabrics and yarns

Beyond identity and self-expression, the fabrics in the new collection are designed to move. To do this, in this new season we promote more daring and personal approaches to fashion, always navigating between discretion and extravagance. Concepts such as expressive tactility, fresh images and innovative colours are incorporated within the design team to experiment with matter.

The fabrics also navigate between the powerful contrasts. The classics survive the tide of trends: items such as tweed, the Harris check, the cheviot, the wool herringbones that come from the Anglo-Saxon tradition are maintained for another season, but are reinterpreted with decorative motifs. Quilted fabrics are perfect for outerwear and the volumes that are built with reliefs become key to build winter fashion. On the other side, fantasy coexists, a trend on the rise that translates into an increased commitment to shiny items: sparkles of sequins, iridescence, oversized paillettes and crystals, along with jacquards full of fantasy colour and shine. Metallic and mineralized items also abound in the new collection: fabrics with reflections and sediments of iron crystals like iridescent carbons. We insert metallic and mineral reflections.

In terms of yarns, sustainability projects are increasingly necessary, and we consider that the supply of recycled fibres and yarns is an essential point to reintegrate waste into the textile circuit, creating a new materiality in favour of the essential circularity. For this reason, at Gratacós we work with more respectful fibres as a matter of environmental responsibility. This environmental fight is also linked to the acceptance of higher prices and ethically richer qualities without losing the aesthetic added value that distinguishes the sector.

The colour

The Autumn- Winter 2023/2024 season stands out for the versatility of colours in their multiple nuances, both essential and maximalist. A colour range that amplifies the beauty of the materials. For truly desaturated excess, focus on shocking luxury and drama.

The density of the dark colours enhances the vigor of the intermediate tones and amplifies the visibility and character of the brighter tones for a new identity in the harmonies. Some shades play with their denser, brighter versions for an illuminating effect that helps us deliver modern, disruptive colour schemes that can be associated with a welcoming neutrality.

In this new collection, the palette will be made up of three colour levels. The first range is the most saturated and bright, and plays on contrast. We call it the Dopamine Shade Range. It is a line of intense and emotional colours that suppresses all classic rules of composition to bring out a vigorous passion. Orange, magenta, green and fuchsia emphasize contrasts in colour mixes to create surprising harmonies. The second range is more discreet and is made up of various neutral tones that modulate oxidized iridescence, mixing harmonious combinations and bright tones that meet again. Pearl gray, antique pink, earth colours, deep lilacs … are part of this second colour line. They are sophisticated and charismatic shades that evoke luxury in its most subtle version. Finally, the third range balances between nature and the rural world. To capture this serene and traditional universe we use warm and deep colours that are interrupted by brightness. Earthy tones, pale greens or muted blues are key in this range to offer us a recovered classicism that connects us with the past and memory, without giving us a vintage look.

The aspects and designs

The Autumn- Winter 2023/2024 season stands out for a new hybrid sensoriality in the fabrics that is achieved through creativity and ingenuity. We are not satisfied only in making beautiful articles, but they must inspire beauty. To do this, in terms of aspects we will highlight the reliefs emphasized to reflect the movement of the textures.

Currently, fashion moves between the comfort of urban style or more streetwear with the elegance of tailoring, which is an unbeatable classic, and, finally, the sophistication of the most extravagant garments. For this reason, the items we create have to meet all existing demands on the market. Specifically, we are interested in functional, versatile and hybrid items that respond to various daily styles, but also the most fanciful items to respond to this commitment to escapism that fashion after the pandemic entails: sumptuous materials, extravagant ruffles and sequins. of all kinds and sizes.

In terms of design, this season is represented through ideas about exploring the limitless possibilities of forms and mixing with art. There is a strong relationship between tradition and emotion. A collection that goes towards a very expressive modernity, we want above all to awaken joy.

To convey the trend, contrasting motifs triumph in this collection: from the delicate and imperceptible tone on tone, to the macro designs in strong and vibrant colours for unapologetic visual opulence. Playful contrasts of proportions working together are also explored. In terms of prints, abstract designs that are inspired by a kaleidoscope of multiple reflections abound. Also the monochrome designs in Jacquards and prints, in contrast with an overflowing multicoloured expressiveness.

Lastly, the new season is not lacking in surprising plaid designs, exotic paisleys , almost baroque ornaments, the delicacy of flowers that become more artistic and less obvious, and autumnal fantasies for a decorative, warm and comforting aesthetic.

In short, we really want to present you the imagery of an entire eclectic and versatile season, which explores new limits where the ingenuity of the creative team is at the service of beauty and sensoriality. Soon you will discover the new season in the Gratacós space!

Designers confide in Gratacos to produce their designs.  Proof of this is the presence of our fabrics in the garments exhibited at 080 Barcelona Fashion show.

On this occasion, artists such as Pilar del Campo, Colmillo de Morsa, Maria Roch, Gema Brain & Beast Sach confided in us and offered as every year transgressive catwalk creations with Gratacós fabrics. We paid attention to every detail to identify, at sight, some of the articles from the new season that you can already buy in our store.

Here are some references that did not go unnoticed:

1. Colmillo de Morsa

The debut of Elisabet Vallecillo and Javier Blanco in the Catalan catwalk did not disappoint.  Creators Colmillo de Morsa presented the proposal ‘Preludio’ inspired by the romantic sensibility of Chopin and the relationship with the writer George Sand. On this occasion, the collection Autumn-Winter 2017 was presented with garments as evocative as the music of the show. On the catwalk we saw bermudas and trousers with burgundy crepe, a cotton bomber jacket, a shirt with mini flowers and a beautiful silk organza blouse with floral inlays.

2. Maria Roch

This Barcelona designer surprised with elaborate staging inspired by the kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold and silver adding beauty to the broken pieces with history. Under this common thread, Maria Roch presented an intimate collection with Japanese air that included ultra feminine fluid cuts dresses. Pastel colors were not lacking in the colour palette, as well as vibrant colors such as red, blue or grass green. We make special mention to the impressive lame in pearl tones seen on the catwalk.

3. Gemma Sach

The designer Gemma Sach, who has spent 25 years dedicated to fashion in the family business, debuted at 080 Barcelona Fashion with versatile garments from the ‘Eclipsi’ Autumn-Winter 2017 collection. Bright colors for the winter wardrobe, a variety of silks, treated velvets and sets of fabrics from the same range pursued by two of their principles: quality and comfort.

On a final note, we reveal details of some of the fabrics that you can already find in the store. Visit us and we will assist you!

Our fabrics take different forms in singular creations that are a sample of the know-how of each artist of the needle. Sometimes they become handicrafts by private individuals, local or national designers, also hallowed companies that symbolize luxury and elegance.

This time Chanel used one of our embroidered fabrics of gold sequins to shape a draped mididress with a rigid structure and dizzy cleavage that was part of the ‘Paris Cosmopolite’ collection of Métiers d’Art presented in December at the Hotel Ritz in the French capital. The Prefall 2017 creation reverts to the most classic style, but with a modern touch, in an exercise to bring out the detailed work of master craftsmen in a family environment for the maison,friends of the company and its founder. “The Ritz Hotel is my house,” Gabrielle used to say. Indeed, Coco Chanel herself lived (and died in 1971) in this luminous space, between whites and golds and exotic furniture.

In this luxury home Karl Lagerfeld opted for reverting to the essential features of the maisonin a creation inspired by lunches such as those taken by Gabrielle in the last century and by her dress codes with the emphasis on sophistication. An ideal occasion to show suits in tweed – her emblematic fabric – elaborate dresses with embossed textures, skirts below the knee, revisited levitas, details in gem-stones and a great spectrum of metallic shades that add a glamorous touch to what is on offer from Chanel this autumn.

You will find similar fabrics with gold paillettes and metallized embroidery on our website and you will be thrilled with the results.
