Research and passion for fabrics of natural origin, innovative and at the same time completely sustainable, are at the heart of Bianca & Noè's project. The FW22 collection takes it one step further and features fabrics made from Icelandic seaweed. The Seacell is special, part of a unique ecosystem found only in Iceland's clear waters. The raw material is dried in the open air by the north winds, and then it is shredded with a traditional method that does not harm the planet. 
The resulting fabric is incredibly soft and has countless benefits: it helps blood circulation, protects against UV rays and free radicals thanks to its high antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory properties. Elsewhere, the Bianca & Noè collections still feature "made in Italy" fabrics obtained from Himalayan nettle, eucalyptus, mulesing-free wool, and hemp, which are all natural hypoallergenic, antibacterial, pesticide-free, and completely biodegradable fibers. The designs are also conceived to be sustainable. The oversized cuts allow the garments to be worn for longer, while the minimal and contemporary genderless styles can be handed down from brother to sister and extend the lifespan of the clothes.
