"A significant tradition in research regarding the transformations of styles is presented by the Gruppo Lineapiù that, spanning its thirty-year history, has interacted between innovative yarn production and international stylism. The works presented in the retrospective that celebrated, at Palazzo Pitti, the company's thirtieth anniversary show how its choices have been based upon a criterion that embraces a broad range of tastes—from the artistic to the technical-experimental. With regards to communication and research, Lineapiù has demonstrated its belonging to the contemporary world through its understanding of history, documented by the "auteur pieces." The internationality of fashion reflects that process of style and content dilation, and the choice of proposed garments is the fruit of a long and assiduous collaboration between the handmade product and the project. Lineapiù - in addition to all the fashion designers that have collaborated with the company over the years -opened its archives to display a rich selection of works - the expression of "Made in Italy" creativity - at a time when placing emphasis on expertise has become vitally important…" Bonizza Giordani Aragno.
