At the heart of contemporary sartorial evolution, Xacus has been redefining the very concept of the shirt since 1956. Structure, design, and materiality merge into a textile narrative that spans eras and contexts, while remaining rooted in a deeply modern and urban vision. Xacus was seeking a solution for its garments that would combine aesthetics, performance, and environmental sustainability. How could “g upgraded recycled graphite” be used to achieve this? We started with g_pwdr® technology, a fabric and paper treatment and dyeing process that uses the ingredient in an aqueous suspension. Through meticulous fine-tuning—resulting from an extensive research and development process—we succeeded in creating a dye suitable for enhancing the characteristics of the natural fibers (cotton poplin and linen) chosen by Xacus for this innovative capsule collection, presented at Pitti 2025.
