The Castanyada is a traditional festival with more than three centuries of history that is celebrated on the eve of All Saints' Eve, at night. It is one of the most charismatic autumn events in Catalonia, Aragon, Balearic Islands and Valencia.
Around this date, it is typical to eat chestnuts, panellets, sweet potatoes and candied fruit, in addition to accompanying meals with a traditional drink, muscatel.
Clothing for the Castanyada
The shades of this festivity are dark tones, such as brown,, como podrían ser los reddish or black.
These colors are combined with each other to create also checkered patterns for aprons, tablecloths, clothing...

Military Print
We finish this review of the novelties with three military prints , on different bases: cotton, gabardine and plush.
As we read in Vogue magazine, a print that was a trend in the 2000s and is captivating 2022:: "Although the camouflage print has stood the test of time, it was silent for several seasons". On the main catwalks, we have seen it in the hands of Blumarine, Dolce & Gabbana or Burberry, to name a few.
The main fashion and trend magazines begin to distill the keys of the season, in colors and styles. And we review them, looking for the fabric that best suits each occasion.
Trends: styles
Plaid skirt, schoolgirl style or "kidcore"
Any of the 3 names is valid to refer to this style.
A "punk" style that can remind us of the fashion of the 2000s and that influencers as prominent as La Vecina Rubia or Rosaria herself have already highlighted.
POPPY1. Ref: 01929-0328. Denim fabric with cotton, polyester and elastane.
BANDIDO. Ref: 03497-0310. Denim fabric with cotton.
Monochromatic style
Last summer we talked about the "color block" as a style trend. This season, and especially during this interseason, we continue to see how the "total look" are in fashion.
Triunfan las tonalidades oscuras, también negros y grises, así como los blancos.
Flattering, combinable and modern. It is perhaps the secret of the leather effect garments. A material that every year sneaks into the trends and continues to gain followers.
This year we will see it on a variety of colors, more daring and beyond the classics.
OITA. Ref: 03382-0002. Rustic fabric with some wool.
JACQUES. Ref: 03906-0008. Wool effect fabric, very soft, checkered.
TIMOR. Ref: 03528-0205. Soft fabric, ideal for suits.
Trends: colors
Fuchsia for the most daring ones.
Yes, you read that right. The "pink lovers" are still in luck, as it seems that the trend of strident colors continues for another season, especially in fuchsia.
We highlight in the image "Valentino's ode to fuchsia in Paris" (Woman magazine) within its autumn-winter collection 2022-2023. A fashion show where fuchsia has been the absolute protagonist. "The color of freedom, love, individuality, curiosity and ingenuity", according to the firm.
If vitamin colors were a trend last season, the furor continues this fall/winter.
Proof of this are the vitamin orange / mustard colors used in the fashion shows of Michael Kors, Sid Neigum or Givenchy, to name a few.
Fashion shows in which we have seen the combination of this shade contrasted with brown, as well as total looks on daring materials such as leather effect garments.
Another essential color every season but this year is confirmed as a must. must.
Proof of this have been the proposals that we have seen on the main catwalks, such as these dresses by Christian Dior, which reminds us that styles change but black remains.
The rise of Rosalia is already reflected in fashion. And proof of this is that the intense red is back in the top positions this season. Likewise, the "motomami" style, with appliqués on leather effect, zippers and with intense shades, is enhanced.
If last week we advanced you our collection of vicky check for the smallest of the house, today we extend this selection with our cottons.A fresh and comfortable solution thanks to the very nature of the fabric: natural, breathable, durable and resistant.
Without forgetting all those garments destined to a not so infantile public, in which another type of prints or forms are required, like the plumeti, the military print or the geometric ones, so fashionable these last seasons.

On Tuesday, 21 June 2022 at 11:14 a.m., summer officially began in Spain.
If at the beginning of the year we presented the season's novelties, today we want to talk about those thinner fabrics, ideal for these temperatures.
Natural fabrics are a great ally when it comes to dressing cool. And of course, every year three types stand out above the average: viscose, cottons and linens.
Viscose fabrics
This is a soft, light and drapey fabric that is normally used for summer garments such as dresses, blouses or scarves, for example.
We finish this review with the third coolest natural fibre for summer: cotton. A fabric that we can also find in its multiple versions: plain, printed, embroidered or perforated.
We finish this selection with a fabric that, although it does not come from natural fibres, is just as fresh for the summer. An ideal solution for all those wash-and-wear garments: shirts, trousers, beach dresses?
Model ECO-QAMIZ: This is a a light and elastic article in one sense, very pleasant, which could be defined as a Crepe Marocain. Very fine marocain-like touch. With 62% recycled in the composition (GRS), it is a silk-like 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.
Yes, you read that right. Our stamping service allows you to make summer combinations for all tastes. Let's review the many options:
Swimwear fabric.
This is a thick fabric base (250 gr) and elastic with which to make swimsuits, among other garments. A base to which you can apply both normal and fluorine ink.
A solution to adapt any of our patterns to these fabrics, combining them:
Microfiber towel
This is an item we have seen in recent times in gyms, beaches, swimming pools and as a travel towel. This is due to its low volume, low weight and quick drying time.. In this case: 155 cm wide and 200 gr/m2.
Remember that we have almost 2,000 drawings at your disposal, to make the combination that you like the most. As well as adapting your designs to our bases.
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.
