At the end of the month comes one of the most awaited dates for the LGBTIQ+ community: Pride Day.An occasion to celebrate, while continuing to demand the rights of this community.
The origin of this celebration dates back to June 28, 1969,when the so-called Stonewall Riots (New York)took place, marking the beginning of the struggle for gay rights.
In the early morning of June 28, 1969, the New York police led a raid on the Stonewall Pub, located in Greenwich Village. The gay community responded with a series of demonstrations that led to violent incidents. In the history of the homosexual movement in the United States, this episode marks the moment when gays began to fight against an entire system, legal, police and social, that persecuted them.
More than 50 years after these events, the LGBTIQ+ community continues to fight for their rights and to combat hate speech. And leading this movement, we find its rainbow flag.
Origin of the rainbow flag, for the LGBTIQ+ collective.
Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the United States, commissioned the flag from Gilbert Baker, an artist and former soldier who worked as a drag queen. drag queen.
La bandera ondeó por primera vez el 25 de junio de 1978 en la ciudad de San Francisco y originalmente constaba de eight colored stripes. An inspiration mixed between the stripes of the U.S. flag, the colors of the rainbow, and Judy Garland in the musical "The Wizard of Oz", which included the song "Somewhere over the rainbow".
In the last post we talked about colors that are trending this season. Today we continue this trend analysis with the most popular textures and prints.
Prints that are trending in 2022:
This year 3 prints predominate above the rest: stripes, animal print and flowers. We analyze them one by one, looking at the options that Ravial puts at your disposal.
Although horizontal and sailor stripes are a classic, this year vertical stripes predominate. A resource that stylizes and that we will see on any application: evening dresses, swimsuits, accessories...
Otro de los estampados que ya lleva años en primera fila -y parece que aún no va a cambiar- es el animal print. Sobre todo, en su versión más atigrada.
Although every year flowers take a prominent place in the season, this year they come in all shapes and colors: big, small, more or less colorful... They wear them all!

The Modern Vintage aesthetic does not refer to a single print, but to the inspiration of certain prints that remind us of the wallpapers that decorated homes during the 60s and 70s.
We have developed several designs that, thanks to our printing service, you will be able to print on the base you like the most.
There are transparencies of all kinds, more or less discreet, depending on the person who wears it. They can be totally transparent shirts, as in the image. Or transparencies that occupy only sleeve and back.
We finish the analysis of these trends with a fabric that will make us billiards: el satén, tal como leemos en este artículo de SModa El País: «La moda quiere que recuperemos el brillo: el satén lo invade todo».
Whether to wear a shirt style or to go elegant without giving up its freshness, this year satin is a good choice.
Although May is popularly known as the month of celebrations, in recent years we have seen how this season is extended throughout the spring and summer.
Therefore, aware of the high temperatures and how difficult it is to dress for these occasions, we present a series of cool fabrics, ideal for such events, following the colors of the season.
Colors that are trending in 2022:
Beyond the classic colors for guest, every year ready-to-wear fashion underlines certain shades. This summer , pink tones (from pastel to fuchsia), greens, white and mauve stand out. And in terms of styles , the "color block" and pastel shades. Let's take a look at them:
Pink colors
It is a good opportunity to rescue all those shades of pink from our closets that, depending on the year, do not fit on the season. Because this year anything goes: we can recover the shade of pink that suits us best.
Linens, chiffons and white or ecru cottons are a must must for every spring-summer. A fresh and very summery option that is reiterated every year, due to its comfort and summer spirit. The options are many:
This is a cheerful and positive color ideal para llevar en nuestros eventos veraniegos. Así mismo, puede ser un color llevado como total look o combinado con otros colores. En Ravial disponemos de una gran variedad de opciones, en liso y estampado:
We start by explaining what is "color block": a style where we combine a look of a single tone. It can be of the same color, combining two contrasting tones or looking for colors of the same family. In this post of the website Lookiero you will find more information about it (link in spanish).
As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, pink in its pastel -or powdered- shade is gaining popularity this season. But it is not the only shade, but yellows, greens or blues in their more pastel face also take prominence.

In Ravial we are specialized in flamenco fashion, among others. And one of the branches of this flamenco fashion is dance. A discipline danced all over the world where the fabric helps to give movement and spectacularity to such an incredible dance.
Therefore, today we analyze the different families of fabrics that best suit this discipline:
Knitted fabrics
When looking for a comfortable fabric, especially for rehearsal skirts, we must look at the interlock.An elastic fabric that only stretches to one side.
Flamenco dance: Origin of its dance, history and characteristics. Bailarinas de Ballet.
Model ORIA. Reference: 03501.Stretch knitted fabric 100% polyester. Silk knit. Printed in Ravial.
Also, we can choose a soft knit that stretches to both sides.
Model PARAYAS. Reference: 00755.Knitted fabric 96% polyester / 4% spandex. Soft, drapey and stretches to both sides.
Model OLVERA. Reference: 03500. Knitted fabric 96% polyester/ 4% spandex. Soft, drapey and stretches to both sides. Printed in Ravial.
Crepe fabrics
A durable, fairly lightweight, matte and roughto the touch fabric, available in both plain and a variety of prints. This type of fabric will give us drape as well as good shape.It is not an elastic fabric.
The details of the suit are what will give it character and personality. And a good tool, in addition to the pattern, is to play with transparencies. The only requirement to take into consideration is that it is an elastic fabric so that it can adapt to the body, following every movement before returning to its natural shape.
We continue to add new fabrics to our catalog of classics:
Traditional checkered fabric with resin coating.
This new version also incorporates the side borders or stripes at the ends.
FARCELL PVC Reference: 03887.
This is an article with which to make table linen and kitchen articles, such as aprons. A traditional style combined with modern materials to make it more durable and resistant.
We also remind you that we still have the traditional fabric, without plasticizing.
FARCELL Reference: 01322.
Plaid fabrics
We remind you that we have a wide selection of fabrics with a checkered pattern, in case the traditional bale does not fit what you are looking for. Like the classic Vichy check:

Likewise, we also incorporate new models for the smallest of the house. The PANDA, which allows repetition. And the POPCORN and SCREEN. with Warner license and prints of Harry Potter, Space Jam and Batman
In the images, some of the new prints of the PANDA model; Reference: 03882. 100% cotton fabric with various prints.
Images left to right and top to bottom:

As mentioned above, this is a cotton fabric with digital print and Warner Bros. license, from Harry Potter, Batman and Space Jam. Both models allow repetition.
We continue with the natural trend for this presentation, with a selection of rayon and viscose yarn effect, giving the feeling of linen, but giving up its characteristic wrinkle.
We start with the RACHEL series.A slightly elastic article (5%), made of polyester (68%) and cotton (27%), placing this portion of cotton in the part that is in contact with the skin. This ensures a pleasant and comfortable contact.The visible or outer part is satin and allows sublimation, so we have been able to develop several drawings:
In the images, some of the new prints of the RACHEL modelReference: 02198 Printed and elastic satin fabric.
This is a very versatile article, which can be used for a wide variety of garments, such as pants or flamenco dresses. In some ways it is similar to our MADISON models., although thinner.
Another satin to which we have expanded the range of prints, is our KIRA model.A soft satin, very nice and with fall, ideal for blouses and dresses.
In the images, some of the new prints of the KIRA model.; Reference: 03722. Soft satin fabric.
Another new print is our SERENA model. It is a very drapey crepe, ideal for summer and all those wash-and-wear garments: shirts, pants, beach dresses...
In the images, some of the new prints of the SERENA model; Reference: 03617.
This series is printed on our TORA base, so that smooth-patterned combinations can be made::
Another most interesting novelty this season, is the new RAVIAL ECOsolution. A new model with 62% recycled in the composition (GRS).
It is a light andelastic article in one sense, very pleasant. It is ideal for spring/summer blouses and dresses, which could be defined as a Crepe Marocain. Very fine marocain-like touch.
In the images, some of the new prints of the ECO-QAMIZ model; Reference: 03836. Recycled silk type fabric with lycra, slightly wrinkled.
A fabric that could be similar to our ECO-BAIKAL model,but nevertheless, they are two different series. The main difference is that the ECO-BAIKAL modelhas more weight and more drape compared to the ECO-QAMIZ model.
In the images, some of the new prints of the ECO-BAIKAL model,; Reference: 03808. Recycled crepe fabric with drape.
A novelty that we presented relatively recently, but that has already conquered everyone's heart. It is a soft and drapey crepe crepe. A delightful item that this season arrives with new prints:
In the images, some of the new prints of the OLALLA model; References: 02452, 03682 and 03854. Soft and drapey bi-elastic fabric.
Soon the Pradera of San Isidro will be filled with Chulapas and Chulapos , to celebrate the feast of San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid. A long-awaited date for all Madrileños, especially after these years of pandemic.

Spain is a country rich in traditions. And Easter has a very special tradition, marked in the calendar. Tunics, Brotherhoods, Brotherhoods, Mantillas are the protagonists of these dates, as far as fabrics are concerned.
Each Brotherhood has its own Holy Week tunic.These tunics are differentiated by the type of fabric and the color they use. The most common are twill, satin or velvet and the predominant colors are white, purple, green or maroon.
The flamenco dress is the only regional costume that follows the trends set by fashion.
Proof of this are the many catwalks and events that have taken place in January and February 2022, which reactivate the flamenco market after two years of pandemic.
Therefore, today we analyze the many trends that have left us this early season, for the upcoming Fairs and Romerías:
All in red
Perhaps the most flamenco color of all. And although it is a color that always stands out for its flamenco style, this year has stood out above the rest. Whether in plain, polka dots or prints, this year the bet is clear:
SIMOF 2022: schedules, fashion shows and designers of the 27th edition of the flamenco fashion catwalk. Diario de Sevilla.
As specialists in flamenco fashion, we have a large selection of red fabrics for flamenco, among which we highlight:
After the long months of pandemic for the sector, there is one word that stands out: joy. And that desire for joy and festivity was transmitted in many designs, with bold colors and combinations.

The new season is very marked by the hard times we have had to live. And one of the trends, along with red, is the return to the classics. And there is nothing more flamenco than a polka dot.
A market that is not only closed to Andalusia, but many towns have their own Fairs and Pilgrimages. Without forgetting flamenco as a dance discipline, which also has its specialized fabrics and which we will talk about later.
