Gran Sasso: BlogBloghttps://shop.gransasso.it/Fri, 29 Mar 2024 14:57:01 GMTurn:store:1:blog:post:196https://shop.gransasso.it/en/bfekfbkejfGran Sasso Quality School Sixth Edition<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">On Friday, 9th February 2024, the sixth edition of <strong>Gran Sasso Quality School</strong> kicked off with the training project "<strong>Il Rimaglio</strong>" (<em>The</em> <em>Linking project</em>) conceived by <strong>Maglificio Gran Sasso</strong> in collaboration with the School Headmaster, Prof. Lucia Condolo, and the teachers of the <strong>Vocational Institute "Primo Levi"- Fashion course in Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata</strong>. Part of the "pathways for transversal skills and orientation", introduced as an evolution from the school-work alternation program, this course aims not only at teaching young talents professional skills in the field of knitwear, but also at putting their knowledge into practice within the company, thus facilitating their insertion into the labor market.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSC06914.jpeg" alt="Rimaglio Maglificio Gran Sasso" width="600" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">For Maglificio Gran Sasso, bringing exquisite knitting techniques back to Abruzzo and training Made in Italy specialists is a fundamental goal, as <strong>Carlo Di Stefano, Gran Sasso brand manager</strong>, explains, "We are proud of our 100% Made in Italy manufacture, something we couldn’t do without. Through this initiative, we want to pass on the techniques for making high-quality products and bring back those skills that have been waning in our territory in past years." A concrete commitment of the Maglificio, which, since 2018, has directly organized and managed the Quality School Linking Course, thanks to the donation of two linking machines and the collaboration of an expert artisan appointed as a teacher.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSC06866.jpeg" alt="Rimaglio Maglificio Gran Sasso" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">The course is intended for 13 pupils attending the third year of the Fashion course offered by the Vocational Institute and will last about 3 months. The <strong>study plan focuses on the linking stage</strong> and covers a variety of activities to become an expert craftsman: linking simple garments in natural fibers, handling complex items, evaluating yarn yield, recognizing knit stitches, warp-knitting techniques, and more. The project will conclude with a short internship at Gran Sasso headquarters.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSC06920.jpeg" alt="Rimaglio Maglificio Gran Sasso" width="500" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Gran Sasso Quality School is part of the extensive training program supported by Gran Sasso: the <strong>Craft and Linking Excellence Academy (Accademia d’Eccellenza dell’Artigianalità e del Rimaglio)</strong>. All of the Academy's initiatives aim to pass on the knowledge and skills acquired over years in the field so that the generational change and exquisite Made in Italy workmanship is fostered and guaranteed over time.</span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:194https://shop.gransasso.it/en/springsummer-2024-fashion-campaignSpring/Summer 2024 fashion campaign<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Summer brings days of adventure, enchanting and captivating. A boat sails the sea, light as a dream, following a serene path in the <strong>Bay of Silence</strong>. We want to experience a feeling of unparalleled freedom and adventure, awakened by the sound of waves, in the crystal clear water enjoying breathtaking views.

Stemming from these shared values, the vision of Maglificio Gran Sasso was created, and so was the new Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection, presented to buyers and retailers on the national and international scene during the 105th edition of Pitti Uomo, from 9th to 12th January in Florence's Fortezza da Basso.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/IMG_6433.jpeg" alt="Gran Sasso at Pitti 105" width="600" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Gran Sasso stand at Pitti 105</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">The new collection, made of soft, fine natural yarns embellished with a palette of understated nuances and bold hues, responds to the modern man's demand for dynamism with elegant, yet informal, youthful and contemporary items.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSC03663.jpeg" alt="" width="600" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Gran Sasso men's wardrobe starts from tradition and makes refined yarns and innovative workmanship capable of enhancing, on the one hand, the contemporaneity that the international scene offers and, on the other, the craftsmanship and know-how that have always made the knitwear factory stand out. The jewel in the crown of the collection is cashmere, the ultimate masculine expression of knitwear, synonymous with comfort and softness. Its sustainable version, eco-cashmere, conquers the catwalks of winter 2024: zipper jackets, crew neck sweaters and cable knit, intarsia turtlenecks satisfy the urge for sustainability toward which, for more than 70 years, the company has been projected.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSC03639.jpeg" alt="Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection" width="600" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">To the demand for ever-higher levels of performance, the new Men's Fall/Winter 2024 Collection responds with Athleisure: technical wool garments, total easy-care, machine-washable and suitable for tumble-drying. If knit jackets embody the<em> casual luxury vibe</em> the new proposals share, flannel, merino wool and corduroy, the beating heart of autumn fashion, cannot be missing from the men's wardrobe, for a new concept of <em>casual</em>, more urban, precious, contemporary and unfailing retro flair. Created for the coldest weather of the winter season, zipper jackets, parkas, turtlenecks, cardigans and crew neck sweaters take turns, look after look, in a charming multitude of textures and hues that explore different dimensions of style, yet always pursuing the constant quest for elegance.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSC03593_1000.jpeg" alt="Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Completing the men's total look are two surprising new items: sneakers and hats. Each garment, in the new collection, is designed as a piece of an outfit that is actually the mirror of an inimitable and refined lifestyle, of the attitude to fully enjoy every day outdoors and indoors in a constant dialogue between one's personality and what surrounds us.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block;

Here are some ideas and useful tips on what to wear on your holidays.</span></p> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong>Outfits for him</strong></span></h3> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Every outfit should be a blend of style and comfort, from beachwear to a refined polo for elegant evenings. <strong>Gran Sasso's selection for men</strong> is designed to make you feel the protagonist every moment of your vacation. The <strong>organic cotton raglan sleeve polo shirt</strong> is a timeless piece, perfect for a modern formal look. It's ideal for transitioning from the beach to a stroll along the promenade, without necessarily having to change or compromise on a refined look.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/POLO-IN-MAGLIA-RAGLAN-COTONE-ORGANICO-8808" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/GRANSASSO SS23_26042.jpeg" alt="The organic cotton raglan knit polo " width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span lang="EN-GB">Organic cotton raglan knit polo</span></span> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Holidays at the beach are a time to relax and have fun. The<strong> recycled microfiber swim trunks</strong> are an excellent compromise between comfort and style. All the shades complement the colors of the trendiest seaside destinations and are perfect for enhancing your tan and truly feeling on holiday. The unique feature of the trunks is the pocket: besides being a useful accessory, it can be folded inside to turn the swimwear into a convenient pouch for easier storage. </span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/beachwear" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/GRAN SASSO SS23_2644.jpeg" alt="Recycled microfiber swim trunks" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Recycled microfiber swim trunks</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB">For the evening, we recommend the versatile </span>Full-zip sweatshirt with logo patch.

The color block stripes give a contemporary and casual flair, embellishing this garment made of natural yarn, cultivated without pesticides or toxic substances, respecting man and protecting the environment to promote sustainable development.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/T-SHIRT-IN-MAGLIA-A-RIGHE-COTONE-ORGANICO-8800" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/GRANSASSO SS23_25989.jpeg" alt="Organic cotton striped knit t-shirt" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">Organic cotton striped knit t-shirt</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB">Warmth and humidity are the main enemies of effortless summer elegance. That's why the fabrics into your wardrobe must be breathable and comfy at the same time. For this reason, we recommend the <strong>linen jacket shirt</strong>, a practical and versatile piece, refined and fashionable. Linen absorbs moisture and ensures high thermal conductivity, providing a pleasant feeling of freshness.</span></span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/GIACCA-CAMICIA-IN-LINO-8867" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/GRANSASSO SS23_27191.jpeg" alt="linen jacket shirt" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 10pt;"><span lang="EN-GB">Linen jacket shirt</span></span></p> <h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong>Outfits for her</strong></span></h3> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">During the summer season, versatility is also the watchword for women.

Rethinking haute couture, pursuing the quest for complete freedom: this and much more was <strong>Altaroma</strong>, the exclusive fashion runway of <strong>IED</strong>, the Roman European Design Institute. Held on <strong>July 11, 2022</strong> at the <strong>Ex Caserma-Guido Reni</strong>, the event saw the best graduates of the courses in Fashion Design and Jewelry Design of IED Roma showcase the outcome of their three-year educational journey. Within it, was presented the innovative project "<strong>A Future Together</strong>" by <strong>Maglificio Gran Sasso</strong>.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/_SDR1169lr.jpeg" alt="Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">"A Future Together" is the <strong>partnership</strong> between Maglificio Gran Sasso and IED Roma. A collaboration, born a year ago, that sets forth and reinforces the constant link between manufacture, Italian design institutes and the historic knitwear factory Gran Sasso. The <strong>natural meeting</strong> of experimentation, innovative ideas and the quality of Italian manufacturing tradition. With "A Future Together," IED Rome and Maglificio Gran Sasso have <strong>(re)imagined the future </strong>of the historic made in Italy clothing brand, entrusting young designers' creativity and willingness to experiment with finding the meeting point and connection with the quality of Gran Sasso's ancient manufacturing technologies. Conceived by Ludovica La Rocca, John Ray Tiva, and Martina Proia, "A Future Together" brings about the return to <strong>craftsmanship</strong>, combined with an eye to the sustainability of yarns, dyes and fabrics. These, in fact, are the cornerstones of the collaboration between IED and Maglificio Gran Sasso.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/_SDR0375lr.jpeg" alt="Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <div class="rich-blog-image"> </div> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/_SDR0706.jpeg" alt="Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">One of the goals of this project was to conceive a "<strong>knitwear 365</strong>" collection. This led to the creation of a series of garments with a very clear imprint, designed to overcome the concept of <strong>seasonality</strong> and be usable 365 days a year. A <strong>revolution</strong> in the world of knitwear, always with great care and attention to sustainability.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/_SDR1186.jpeg" alt="Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The project in collaboration with Gran Sasso fits perfectly into the idea behind Altaroma. A <strong>manifesto of imperfection</strong>, in which the classic canons of tailoring are distorted, if not completely overturned, to create a new vision of beauty, a eulogy to imperfect beauty, which uses tradition to affirm novelty. An event in which <strong>going beyond the label</strong> is at the heart of every work, in which haute couture goes hand in hand with the off-the-wall flair of the designers. Ideas in which, however, remains a link with the tradition of the territory, in the workmanship, weaves, yarns and processing techniques, and of which Gran Sasso and IED's "A Future Together" project is the perfect synthesis.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/_SDR0734.jpeg" alt="Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <div class="rich-blog-image"> </div> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/_SDR0382lr.jpeg" alt="Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>urn:store:1:blog:post:152https://shop.gransasso.it/en/summer-holidays-the-ideal-outfits-to-packSummer holidays, the ideal outfits to pack!<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">On holiday you can engage in many different activities, each one requiring its <strong>ideal outfit</strong>.

Gran Sasso embraces this spring rebirth with <strong>garments of all kinds</strong>, from the most classic cut to the most sporty, perfect <strong>for mid-season</strong>, as they remind us that spring is also uncertain. Bumping into unexpected cold weather and downpours should not jeopardize style, which is why Gran Sasso has created a <strong>line of jackets and vests</strong> that can be combined with any garment, so you’ll not be caught by surprise by the mid-season and you’ll be able to maintain your own look.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong>Spring coats for him</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Ensuring comfort while enhancing any look, from the most elegant to the most sporty, is the mission of the products made by Gran Sasso.

Here, every year, hundreds of future professionals are trained in visual arts and design: an excellence program aimed at developing transversal and professional skills that allow students to have a great impact on future projects, in the name of quality, sustainability and cultural preservation. “Future Together” stands out as the genuine meeting point between experimentation, freshness and the quality of Italian manufacturing tradition.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSCF5385.jpeg" alt="Maglificio Gran Sasso e Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">In the first phase of this collaboration four graduate Fashion Designers conceived four special knitwear collections, on which each of them outlined their own thesis inspired by a central theme, the result of their social and cultural baggage.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSCF5367.jpeg" alt="Maglificio Gran Sasso e Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <div class="rich-blog-image"> </div> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSCF5373.jpeg" alt="Maglificio Gran Sasso e Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Thus, the collections <strong>MIOPIA, MEMORIES, KABAYAN and RETE</strong> came to life, each embodying the summary of a story to be told through the language of fashion.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSCF5379.jpeg" alt="Maglificio Gran Sasso e Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Following the first ideas, sketches and drafts, the future designers were able to see their thoughts take shape. In fact, during a meeting with the style office at the headquarters of Maglificio Gran Sasso, pattern drafts were presented, giving the students the opportunity to revise their concepts which, until then, were just figments of their imagination. On this occasion, the yarns selected for each collection were also presented, each closely related to the central theme the garments pivoted on. For instance, the theme of the net was associated with the fancy openwork stitch that recalls its weave, while the theme of myopia was embodied mainly by the English rib stitch, which, thanks to its ability to produce stretch properties in the fabric, perfectly conveys the meaning of something that is at first concealed, but then revealed when stretching the garment.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSCF4980.jpeg" alt="Maglificio Gran Sasso e Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <div class="rich-blog-image"> </div> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/DSCF5016.jpeg" alt="Maglificio Gran Sasso e Ied Roma" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">All the <strong>yarns</strong> proposed for these collections are <strong>organic and made of sustainable materials</strong>, while the <strong>dyes</strong> to be used in the manufacturing process are <strong>guaranteed by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards)</strong>.</span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:140https://shop.gransasso.it/en/ss-2022-womens-collection-color-effects-and-unique-detailsS/S 2022 women’s collection: color effects and unique details<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">For <strong>spring/summer 2022</strong>, Gran Sasso conceives a <strong>feminine woman</strong>, seeking after <strong>unique details</strong>, <strong>exquisite fabrics and fine yarns</strong>. In order to meet these needs, not only does the company focus on the aesthetics of the garment, but also on the accuracy of workmanship, highlighting the perfection of the finishes even on the inside of the garments. The collection pivots on <strong>colors</strong>, taking on four themes: <strong>strawberry and raspberry</strong>, <strong>white and blue</strong>, <strong>black</strong> and <strong>garment-dyed</strong> <strong>linen</strong>. The strawberry and raspberry capsule is designed for a dynamic woman who loves colors, who fancies practical wear without giving up on femininity. The <strong>oversize V-neck sweater in pure cotton and handmade decoration</strong> is the perfect union of quality, research and fashion, easy to add also to <strong>geometric or striped dresses</strong>.

The <strong>colour</strong> chart takes shape starting from different shades of beige, from sand to dove gray, which are combined with warm summer shades including saffron yellow, intense orange, sage green and matt magenta. Then, deep blue and white are a true must for a perfect marine style.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/T-SHIRT-IN-MAGLIA-A-RIGHE-7053" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/SI_F00R6345.jpeg" alt="Fresh cotton short-sleeved knit T-shirt" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><em><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Fresh cotton short-sleeved knit T-shirt</span></em></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong>Linen</strong> is a summer must-have since it is able to absorb moisture and, thanks to its high thermal conductivity, it also ensures a pleasant sensation of freshness. Gran Sasso uses this fabric for two models of outerwear, to be worn from morning to night and that you can combine as you please: the <strong>vintage-effect linen Saharan jacket</strong> <strong>in pure linen</strong> and the <strong>linen jersey jacket with classic lapels</strong>.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/GIACCA-SAHARIANA-VINTAGE-7134" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/SI_GS-SS2022-FIT08-53896.jpeg" alt="Vintage-effect Saharan jacket in pure linen" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Vintage-effect Saharan jacket in pure linen</span></em></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/GIACCA-JERSEY-DI-LINO-7022" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/SI_GS-SS2022-FIT50-55574.jpeg" alt="Linen jersey jacket with classic lapels" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Linen jersey jacket with classic lapels</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">The <strong>retro style</strong> is reinterpreted in a modern key through <strong>optical geometries</strong> and <strong>color-block</strong> colour combinations. A real must in this summer's wardrobe is the <strong>2-ply linen and cotton V-neck sweater with pearl stitch</strong> for a perfect college style and the <strong>pique-stitch knitted skipper polo shirt in bio-organic cotton</strong> characterized by a Seventies allure.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/SCOLLO-V-LINO-E-COTONE-2-FILI-7162" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/SI_GRANSASSO_300720213339.jpeg" alt="2-ply linen and cotton V-neck sweater with pearl stitch" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">2-ply linen and cotton V-neck sweater with pearl stitch</span></em></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/POLO-IN-MAGLIA-PIQUET-COTONE-ORGANICO-7154" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/SI_GS-SS2022-FIT01-53561.jpeg" alt="Organic cotton piquet short-sleeved polo skipper" width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Organic cotton piquet short-sleeved polo skipper</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Full respect for nature and human beings characterizes the <strong>organic cotton garments dyed in natural colours or guaranteed by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification</strong>. The peculiarity of this yarn is respect for man and environmental protection for sustainable development: cotton is grown without using pesticides or toxic substances. The emblem of this concept is the <strong>organic cotton</strong> <strong>knit t-shirt with pocket</strong> which combines quality, fashion and sustainability.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://www.gransasso.it/en/T-SHIRT-IN-MAGLIA-COTONE-ORGANICO-7054" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/SI_GRANSASSO_300720212534.jpeg" alt="Knit t-shirt with pocket in organic cotton " width="470" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">Organic cotton knit t-shirt with pocket</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong>Beachwear</strong> also follows the way towards lower environmental impact.

Swimwear is offered in different pattern variants of the boxer model, whose peculiarity is the pocket, because besides being a useful accessory, by folding the boxer inside, it becomes a comfortable bag for easy storage.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/GS-SS2022-FIT89-56990.jpeg" alt="Recycled microfibres swim trunks" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica;">Recycled microfibres swim trunks</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">The spring/summer 2022 men's collection offers several ideas to enjoy summer in the name of comfort, quality and beauty!</span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:135https://shop.gransasso.it/en/ied-rome-and-maglificio-gran-sassoIED Rome and Maglificio Gran Sasso<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">In 2022 the knitwear factory<strong> Gran Sasso</strong> turns 70. The historic knitwear and clothing brand, a consolidated icon of Made in Italy and high craftsmanship at national and international level, relies on the European Institute of Design in Rome to celebrate its anniversary. The partnership between<strong> IED Rome</strong> and Maglificio<strong> Gran Sasso</strong> will lead to the birth of four special knitwear collections, two for men and two for women, signed by four Fashion Design graduates, who are developing them as thesis projects.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The title chosen is “<strong>A FUTURE TOGETHER” </strong>for a collaboration that not only characterizes the brand, making it extremely innovative, but also provides feedback that creates added value: a virtuous circle that feeds itself, in a new and highly creative way. The style office of<strong> Gran Sasso</strong>,<strong> Paola Pattacini Coordinator of the Fashion School</strong> from<strong> IED Rome</strong> and the designers working on it, will present the collections at the July edition of Pitti Uomo, brought forward by the moodboards exhibition in the January edition.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The inspirations of the collections:</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>MYOPIA</strong> by<strong> Adelina Ceban</strong>, inspired by the phenomenon of visual refraction. By exploiting the overlapping of dyes and colors, a hazy imagery will be created, just like the blurred image of a myopic eye. The intention is to create a minimal capsule with great attention to the study of colors and techniques, which makes even an emmetropic (normal) eye feel confused and out of focus.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>MEMORIES</strong> by<strong> Ludovica La Rocca</strong> rummaging through the memories, the ones preserved and those forgotten, retraces the human need to preserve the memory of one’s life and the fear of forgetting important bits.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>KABAYAN</strong> by<strong> John Ray Tiva</strong> explores the particular socio-cultural context and the tribal and folkloristic character of the Filipino tribes, between indigenous aspects and Spanish and Islamic influences. The term <em>kabayan</em> means “fellow countryman”, has a value of social union and fully defines the collection that aims to unite, through fashion, the variety of the Philippines.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>NET</strong> by<strong> Martina Proia</strong> investigates the double meaning of the net, intended both as a cage and as a protection. The collection intends to create a path of liberation from a cumbersome net up to the achievement of nudity, made with openwork, floating stitches, inlays, embroidery made with knitting yarns and encrustations.</span> </p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Gran sasso IED_invito Pitti 101.jpeg" alt="Gran Sasso Ied Pitti" width="470" /></div>urn:store:1:blog:post:134https://shop.gransasso.it/en/the-perfect-outfit-for-the-festivitiesThe perfect outfit for the festivities!<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">The most magical time of the year is just around the corner.

The enthusiasm young people in love are fired with led them to make plans and daydream but, as we all know, sometimes the real world can be utterly different. Years passed by and they gradually got so absorbed by their work that their marriage turned into simple coexistence, time together became less and the distance between them greater and greater. Eventually, the only possible solution they came up with was final: separation.

The choice of garments is clearly wider as the Autumn rolls in, layering becomes a key factor and we can experiment with <strong>seasonal colour-ways</strong> which pop nicely against the back-drop of the weather - in effect it&rsquo;s more playful than we might first think.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><a href="https://shop.gransasso.it/en/MAXI-CARDIGAN-MISTO-CASHMERE--3559" target="_blank"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I4140.jpg" alt="Cashmere blend maxi cardigan with pockets and lurex link stich boat neck " width="470" /></a></div> <p class="Default" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Cashmere blend maxi cardigan with pockets and lurex link stitch boat neck&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">However, it&rsquo;s not all roses. It can be hard to find the <strong>right pieces that suit the individual</strong> and of course, <strong>lifestyle</strong> plays a huge part in the decision making process. For example, we&rsquo;ve all been on a hot train wishing we&rsquo;d worn something else - the amount of people who have to take everything off and then re-apply during the daily commute is astonishing!&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">So it pays to be carefully selected and it&rsquo;s key to have those staple pieces, those go-to garments that allow an easy passage to a stylish and successful day or evening out.</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Here at Gran Sasso, we have chosen a selection of <strong>garments ideal for the seasonal change</strong>.</span></p> <p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I0150.jpg" alt="Knit coat with pockets, fleece jacket with knitted collar and silk tank top with knitted collar" width="470" /></div> <p class="Default" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: helvetica;">Knit coat with pockets, fleece jacket with knitted collar and silk tank top with knitted collar</span></p> <p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">First up is our <strong>short jacket in cashmere blend with a removable faux fur collar</strong>.

Challenging oneself to play with colours that might not initially seem &lsquo;right' for you is also important as bold autumnal colours work beautifully with softer or darker &lsquo;safer&rsquo; shades.</span></p> <p class="Default"><span lang="EN-GB">&nbsp;</span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:71https://shop.gransasso.it/en/whos-sarri-nowWho's Sarri Now?<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Maurizio Sarri</strong>'s style of attacking football has grabbed the attention of the world's elite and lauded by perhaps the greatest of them all in Pep Guardiola.

First of all, the <strong>wearability</strong>: the <strong>knit polo shirt</strong> defines the shape as a piqu&eacute; polo, but is as comfortable as a shirt. Secondly, it can be <strong>made of different yarns</strong>, heavy or light, such as wool, cashmere, linen and cotton, allowing the wearer to have a style-focused and versatile polo shirt, perfect to complete a range of outfits and suitable from Spring to Autumn.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 1 - Copy 3.jpg" alt="Gran Sasso knit polo " width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Gran Sasso knit polo</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span lang="EN-US">A <strong>must-have staple part of a man's wardrobe</strong>, the knit polo first entered the fashion scene in the 1950s and stands out for its elegance and comfort - always showing off a refined and clean style.&nbsp;One signature element is the collar, which can be buttoned for a more elegant delivery or plain for a bolder aesthetic.</span></span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 2 - Copy 4.jpg" alt="Gran Sasso knit polo" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Gran Sasso knit polo</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">With true <strong>Amalfi Coast allure</strong> - think The Talented Mr. Ripley - the knit polo shirt can be combined with chinos, shorts and the summer season classic boat shoe. And for those with a penchant for the <strong>preppy look</strong>, the knit polo can also show off a <strong>vintage look</strong> capturing the essence of 1950s and 1960s New England.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 3 - Copy 3.jpg" alt="Gran Sasso knit polo" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Gran Sasso knit polo</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">The options are plenty, so get playing!</span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:67https://shop.gransasso.it/en/fashion-tips-gran-sasso-easy-wearFashion tips: Gran Sasso Easy wear.<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">To describe the <strong>male style</strong> branded <strong>Gran Sasso</strong> for <strong>Spring/Summer 2018</strong>, it is not necessary to linger on the age of a</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">person, but to analyze the tasks in agenda. In fact, today, men divide themselves among different commitments and they need outfits that can sustain them in each occasion and everywhere. In the company, for some years now, talk about <strong>easy wear</strong> started, but what does it really mean? Easy wear is characterized principally by the perfect combination of <strong>comfort</strong> and <strong>elegance</strong>, <strong>practicality</strong> and <strong>style</strong>.</span></span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I4058.jpg" alt="Easy wear: fleece cotton blouson, full zip in aKtive wool and piquet polo" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shop.gransasso.it/en/BLOUSON-EFFETTO-FELPA-3069" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Easy wear: fleece cotton blouson, full zip in aKtive wool and piquet polo</span></span></span></a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB">To comprehend this concept we shall take two fundamental elements of the garment into consideration: the <strong>yarn</strong> and the <strong>model</strong>. In the first case, the <strong>easy wear</strong> concept is expressed through a combination of performing characteristics such as <strong>crease-free</strong> and flexibility, which enrichen the plain raw material. A highly appreciated example is the <strong>Gran Sasso </strong>aKtive<strong> Wool</strong>, 100% <strong>extra fine merino wool</strong> worked in the latest generation technical treatment, which makes it breathable, resistant, flexible and crease-free. Furthermore, after intensive use or after frequent washing, it maintains its natural flexibility and preserves <span class="shorttext">all its aesthetic qualities unaltered. An aKtive Wool garment placed in a suitcase for a long voyage instantly regaining its original aspect, without a trace of wrinkles.</span></span></span></span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I4012.jpg" alt="Easy wear: knit jacket in aKtive wool with piquet polo" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="shorttext"><a href="https://shop.gransasso.it/en/GIACCA-IN-AKTIVE-WOOL-2989" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Easy wear: knit jacket in aKtive wool with piquet polo</span></a></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The second factor taken into consideration is the model of the garment. Today,&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">for&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">example, a man can show off the elegance of a jacket or a blazer just wearing a knit one. In work environments where the classic formal apparel is not required, in fact, the <strong>knit jacket</strong> makes the difference in terms of comfort. It can be worn with a shirt, a knit polo or simply a t-shirt and combine it wit</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">h cotton</span> c</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">hinos, jeans or slim fit trousers.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I3024.jpg" alt="Easy wear: knit jacket in aKtive wool with linen polo" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shop.gransasso.it/en/POLO-IN-MAGLIA-IN-LINO-3185" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Easy wear: knit jacket in aKtive wool with linen polo</span></span></a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">To conclude, here explained what easy wear is: an important step towards a suitable style for a full busy day of commitments.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>urn:store:1:blog:post:65https://shop.gransasso.it/en/fashion-tips-how-to-wear-sparkling-garmentsFashion tips: how to wear sparkling garments.<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Here we are, springtime and the long-awaited moment to show light and silky clothing have arrived. The light of the sun inspires&nbsp;<strong>cheerful plays of light</strong>: with&nbsp;<strong>Swarovski crystals or lurex</strong>, the items to be added&nbsp;in our look to shine are quite a few. It's true, with total black outfits or tone-on-tone shades it's hard to make mistakes, but the mistake of falling into the classic anonymity is just around the corner. So why not combine a classic outfit to a garment with shiny details? In this way, <strong>we could&nbsp;innovate our look without altering it</strong>...</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I5212.jpg" alt="STRIPED SWEATER WITH CAP SLEEVES" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt;">The model wears the Gran Sasso&nbsp;striped sweater with cap sleeves</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Today, <strong>lurex</strong>&nbsp;no longer has time barriers, from day to night you can show it off. For a minimalist look, you can wear it with a pair of jeans or as a luminous accessory, substituting it to jewels. To be noticed for the exuberant personality, however, we could combine it with tone-on-tone colours or embellish it with precious accessories.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/_08I5538.jpg" alt="LUREX ROUND NECK" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt;">The model in the foreground wears the Gran Sasso lurex round neck</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong><span lang="EN-US">The Swarovski detail</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;is the jewel insert par excellence to be added to the shirt. A classic that shows its aspects of colour through the encounter/clash with every ray of light.

The lights, the colours and the food create a cheerful and familiar atmosphere, so warm to heat one of the coldest winter months.

Since bold colours and patterns highlight and bring attention to you and your figure, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a good choice is to enhance your favourite body parts</span>.

There can be stretch marks, defects in workmanship, up to the most common &ldquo;hole&rdquo; resulting in the breakage of one or more threads. In these cases, the operator has to decide if to discard the piece, which will be recreated, or to move on to the next stage of mending. Moreover, it&rsquo;s important to control that the number, the colour and the size of the pieces are in conformity with the requests on the arrival note.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/110A.png" alt="The mirror manufacturing process" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">The mirror manufacturing process</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">All this happens maintaining a certain speed! Are you worried? And I didn&rsquo;t tell you about the technical aspects yet! For example, in case of a defect it&rsquo;s important to know the different properties of the yarns because they allow you to immediately understand if it&rsquo;s better to repair the piece or not. Anyway, I know that it sounds like a simple and boring job, but it&rsquo;s absolutely not at all. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">To carry out a truly impeccable control</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">it&rsquo;s important to have good experience and technical skills, and to remember that, if there are other steps to follow, a job well done at the beginning will lead to a better final result</span>. Obviously, speed and manual skills are acquired after a long time and with a lot of practice. I arrived to the mirror manufacturing method after a couple of years in the mending division, which I thought was absolutely the most difficult! Instead, I can assure you, it&rsquo;s not like that, because it&rsquo;s a job that requires <strong>precision and attention</strong>.

The movie, in the italian cinemas from 23rd of March,deals with the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">issue of the economic crisis in Italy, lived through the eyes, the thoughts and the actions of an entrepreneur which inherited a clothing company</span>.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/play-01 - Copy 1.jpg" alt="Sfashion movie trailer" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Sfashion movie trailer</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">As Capece himself, director and co-author of Sfashion reported <strong>Maglificio Gran Sasso</strong> was chosen mainly for two reasons: <strong>the beauty of the building</strong> (we must not forget the Triennale di Milano prize, the Golden Medal of Italian Architecture 2009- Honorable Mention) and the continuity of the Di Stefano family, at the head of the society since 1952, making it an <strong>authentic family-run company</strong>. <strong>Guido Di Stefano</strong>, brand manager of Gran Sasso's women&rsquo;s wear line notes: &ldquo;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">It's not easy nowadays being a Made in Italy fashion company</span>. It is necessary to be competent and specialised, but also strong and tenacious. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">That&rsquo;s why we accepted to take part in the Sfashion movie</span>. Moreover, it&rsquo;s important for us to encourage young talents which, with great tenacity, dedicate themselves to their work.&rdquo;</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the movie!</span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:40https://shop.gransasso.it/en/my-undercover-boss-experienceMy Undercover Boss experience!<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Hello everybody, my name is <strong>Antonella</strong> and I work for Maglificio Gran Sasso. You are going to read <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the first of 5 articles I wrote for the corporate blog, a prize I won during &ldquo;Undercover Boss&rdquo;</span>. During the broadcast, one of the owners of the company, <strong>Guido Di Stefano</strong>, got to know my history and my dream to become a journalist. That&rsquo;s why he appointed me to explain the <strong>highlights</strong> <strong>of the quality of Gran Sasso</strong> products: the long manufacturing history and the continuous research for the most precious raw materials. I have been working for the Maglificio for more than 10 years and I am enthusiastic to tell you about my work and about the true meaning of the concept of &ldquo;high craftsmanship Made in Italy&rdquo;. But one step at a time, I will start from the beginning.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">When they selected me to take part in the reality about the world of work (as they previously made me believe) they told me that the program had the aim to talk about the <strong>new heroes</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">common people</span> that wake up every morning and, despite the burden on them, they<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> go on with their best smile dealing with their work and their routine with dedication, devotion and enthusiasm</span>. I really appreciated this message of hope and positivity, a little bit unusual in this moment of crisis and uncertainty that we are experiencing and that makes us become more cynical and disappointed. For me <strong>this experience</strong> has been <strong>the proof that some positive realities</strong> in which we can believe, <strong>still exist</strong>. Also, trustworthy companies still exist, companies where the employees are respected and appreciated, where everyone feels like being part of a big family.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Antonella 2.JPG" alt="Guido and Antonella during Undercover Boss" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Guido and Antonella during Undercover Boss</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">&ldquo;<strong>Undercover Boss</strong>&rdquo; has been an unforgettable experience that made me feel so many positive emotions. <strong>Feeling appreciated as a worker and as a woman</strong> has been a boost of optimism that still gives me the strength to face with determination the daily difficulties. I was pleased to discover that <strong>my employers are not a detached entity, but people full of humanity and they understand our difficulties</strong>. Every day they cooperate with us to realize all together this dream of Made in Italy.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Antonella.jpg" alt="Guido and Antonella during Undercover Boss" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Guido and Antonella during Undercover Boss</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The balance of this experience is wholly positive, of course! <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I have learned that we should never give up but always accept new challenges, enriching oneself both on a human as well as on a social level</span>.

Whether in the office, at home with the family or in chic places, the question that comes to each of us as we stand in front of the wardrobe is always the same:<strong> what shall I wear?</strong> The first step is to understand whether to orient oneself towards an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">elegant style or a more casual outfit</span>.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 1 - Copy 1.jpg" alt="The man wears the vintage pure cashmere rhombus V neck with the padded nylon gilet.

In the first case, in fact, it would be better to orient oneself towards a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">refined and contemporary style, for those who do not want to compromise on comfort.</span> For example, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">passe-partout garments</span> for both him and her, could become the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">cardigan or the knitted jacket combined with a shirt, a blouse or a merino wool turtleneck</span>.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 2 - Copy 1.jpg" alt="The model wears our merino knitted jacket" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">The model wears our merino knitted jacket</span></span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 3a.jpg" alt="The model wears the silk tank top with the merino Milano rib jacket" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: helvetica;">The model wears the silk tank top with the merino Milano rib jacket</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">If the occasion is the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">joyful and abundant of Christmas dinners</span> at home with family and friends, we cannot but choose a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">practical and warm outfit</span>. Hence the most suitable garment: <strong>the sweater</strong>. in all its forms, it is the most suitable garment to combine freedom of movement, warmth and style. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">In wool or cashmere</span>, you can choose the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">tight-fitting model or the wide and comfortable one</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">basic or with wonderful patterns</span>, but you will always be sure <strong>to show off</strong> <strong>an easy and chic outfit</strong>. To highlight <strong>touches of style</strong> and give attention to the most avant-garde glam, for him we suggest sweaters with <strong>Alcantara</strong> inserts to wear with jeans or cloth trousers (not the classical cut of a suit) while for her, <strong>sequins</strong> and <strong>lurex</strong> also on skirts. The choice of red immediately gives you the Christmas feel, but beware of the outfit you choose, avoid the "Santa Claus" effect.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Foto 3 - Copy 1.jpg" alt="The model wears the cable pure cashmere full zip with alcantara profile" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">The model wears the cable pure cashmere full zip with alcantara profile</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;">Gran Sasso wishes you all a very happy festive season!</span></strong></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:32https://shop.gransasso.it/en/fashiontips-how-to-wear-a-turtleneck-sweater#Fashiontips: how to wear a turtleneck sweater<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Winter is almost here and again, it&rsquo;s the evergreen time of the season: the <strong>turtleneck sweater</strong>.

During these days marked by sudden changes in temperature, the wardrobe still reflects our complete indecision: do we give in to the cold winter, or hold on to the last pleasant rays of sunshine? The wardrobe, still full of clothes that range from fresh summer fabrics to warm wool garments, highlights the beauty of autumn, a classical changeover season and the usefulness of the <strong>middle weight clothes</strong> that can be worn all throughout the year.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Cardigan 1.jpg" alt="The model wears our cable pure cashmere full zip with alcantara profile" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt;">This model wears our cable pure cashmere full zip with alcantara profile</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span lang="EN-GB">First amongst these mid-seasonal garments is the versatile&nbsp;</span><strong>cardigan</strong>, not surprisingly the main character of the <a href="http://www.milanesespecialselection.com/gran-sasso-automne-hiver-2016-17/" target="_blank">last article</a>&nbsp;of </span><em>Laurent Le Cam</em>, <span lang="EN-GB">journalist</span> of <a href="http://www.milanesespecialselection.com/" target="_blank">Milanese Special S</a><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.milanesespecialselection.com/" target="_blank">election</a>.

First of all the <strong>shoulder</strong> should not sag, the <strong>armhole</strong> must be comfortable, it should <strong>be long</strong> enough to cover the belt and finally it should be <strong>easy to fasten</strong>, covering well without being too tight.&nbsp;The <strong>classic extra fine cardigan with button fastening</strong> can be worn over a shirt for a casual and sought-after look, or under a jacket to be more elegant. Whichever outfit you desire, please remember that t<span style="text-decoration: underline;">he cardigan can be worn completely open (except for when worn under a jacket) or closed, leaving the last button at the bottom undone</span>. The comfortable <strong>version with a zip</strong> is available in different versions and yarns, but it is more suitable for an <strong>urban and contemporary style</strong>. So <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you can wear it with jeans or casual trousers to have a sought-after look, but we would advise you against wearing it with classic trousers</span>.</span></p> <div class="rich-blog-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/Cardigan 2.jpg" alt="This model wears our wool and silk moulin&egrave; cable full button cardigan" width="470" /></div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: helvetica;">This model wears our wool and silk moulin&egrave; cable full button cardigan</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><span lang="EN-GB">In conclusion, the cardigan is a fundamental garment of a man's wardrobe, a passe-partout for all.</span></span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:26https://shop.gransasso.it/en/discreet-luxury-and-intense-colours-for-the-fallwinter-2016-2017-mens-collectionDiscreet luxury for the F/W 2017 men’s collection<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica;"><strong>Elegance</strong> is composed by details, hues and tacit things.

The most evident contrasts strike the eye and offer excellent combinations, especially in the case of where the pullover has profiles, Alcantara details or embroidered Dragonfly logo.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">In this regard, two additional colours have been included: "dragonfly colour" or "profiles colour".</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Another aspect that is very controversial is the order that the letters must have. The most accredited version establishes that the first initial is that of the name and the second that of the surname.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">However, there is no fixed rule, and the choice is left to the taste and sensitivity of each one of us.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The initials on the pullover give a touch of uniqueness and prestige, a perfect choice for yourself and also for a gift!</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Discover all details at &nbsp;<a href="../customize-EN.html"><strong>www.gransasso.it/customize.html</strong></a></span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:11https://shop.gransasso.it/en/pitti-immagine-uomo-89-new-products-and-acknowledgments-to-maglificio-gran-sassoPitti Immagine Uomo 89: new products and acknowledgments to Maglificio Gran Sasso<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Record attendance at Pitti Immagine Uomo 89 that saw Maglificio Gran Sasso among the protagonists of this considerably successful edition.</span></p> <p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Turnout on the rise, in fact, also at our stand, with the welcome return of Italian customers, the demonstration of a large attendance from traditionally key markets such as Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Scandinavia, the US and an increase in the Japanese presence.
