Kyocera and ANREALAGE Expand Their Collaboration
The collaboration between Kyocera Document Solutions and ANREALAGE began in 2024. Since then, Kyocera’s FOREARTH sustainable textile inkjet printer has been used in six collections presented by the fashion brand at Paris Fashion Week.
The partnership demonstrates how textile printing technology can support designers seeking greater flexibility in developing distinctive collections. By incorporating digital printing into the creative process, fashion designers can explore a wider range of designs and fabric applications while maintaining an emphasis on print quality.
For ANREALAGE, whose creative approach combines fashion with technology and experimentation, the collaboration has provided an opportunity to work with an innovative printing solution. The use of FOREARTH across multiple collections illustrates the role that advanced textile printing can play in supporting contemporary fashion design.
The partnership also highlights the growing importance of sustainability in the fashion industry. Manufacturers, designers and technology providers are increasingly examining how production processes can be improved to reduce environmental impacts while maintaining the quality and creativity expected of modern fashion.
Kyocera’s participation in the retrospective extended this collaboration beyond individual collections. By sponsoring an exhibition dedicated to ANREALAGE’s creative history, the company helped highlight the relationship between technological development and artistic innovation.
FOREARTH Textile Printing Technology Supports Sustainable Fashion
At the center of the Kyocera and ANREALAGE collaboration is FOREARTH, Kyocera Document Solutions’ textile inkjet printing technology. The system is designed to support textile printing with an emphasis on environmental considerations, print quality and flexibility across different fabrics.
Digital textile printing offers fashion designers opportunities to experiment with patterns, colors and visual effects while adapting designs to the requirements of individual collections. Such flexibility can be particularly valuable in an industry where creative concepts, materials and production needs continue to evolve.
During her work with ANREALAGE and Kyocera, Sarah Andelman became familiar with the FOREARTH technology and its potential applications. She described the system as revolutionary, emphasizing that its capabilities challenged established approaches to manufacturing and textile production.
According to Andelman, one of the technology’s most significant advantages is its ability to combine outstanding print quality with flexibility. She also highlighted its environmentally friendly characteristics and its capacity to print on a wide variety of fabrics.
These capabilities can provide designers with additional opportunities to translate creative ideas into finished products. By supporting different fabric applications, textile printing technology can help expand the range of materials available for experimentation and enable designers to explore new possibilities in garment construction and surface design.
Andelman also emphasized the importance of speed in modern creative industries. As trends, consumer expectations and production requirements change more rapidly, designers and manufacturers need technologies that allow them to respond efficiently. In her view, the speed offered by FOREARTH is another important advantage in an increasingly fast-moving environment.
Sarah Andelman Highlights the Importance of Innovation
As curator of the retrospective, Sarah Andelman brought her experience in contemporary culture, design and creative retail to the exhibition. Her perspective also emphasized the broader significance of technologies that challenge established production methods.
Reflecting on her first exposure to FOREARTH through the collaboration between ANREALAGE and Kyocera, Andelman explained that she immediately recognized the technology’s potential to transform conventional practices.
She observed that many products have traditionally been manufactured using the same methods for years, with limited questioning of whether alternative approaches could offer better results. For Andelman, the ability of FOREARTH to introduce new possibilities while maintaining strong printing performance was a major reason for her enthusiasm.
She particularly praised the combination of print quality, material flexibility, environmental considerations and production speed. Together, these characteristics create opportunities for designers and other creative professionals to experiment with textile printing in ways that extend beyond conventional applications.
Her comments also reflect a broader shift in the creative industries, where innovation increasingly involves not only the final appearance of a product but also the processes and technologies used to produce it.
The retrospective provided a fitting setting for these ideas. By presenting ANREALAGE’s creative evolution alongside the story of its collaboration with Kyocera, the exhibition illustrated how technology can contribute to the development of new design concepts and support the continued evolution of fashion.
Sustainability Remains a Growing Priority for Fashion
Andelman also stressed that sustainability should be considered an essential part of everyday life rather than a concern limited to the fashion industry. She emphasized the need to protect the planet and argued that, although the fashion sector is working toward more sustainable practices, further progress is necessary.
Her comments highlight the continuing challenge facing fashion brands and manufacturers as they seek to balance creativity, commercial requirements and environmental responsibility.
Textile production involves numerous processes, making the selection of appropriate technologies an important consideration for businesses pursuing more sustainable operations. Printing solutions designed with environmental considerations in mind can form part of broader efforts to reassess manufacturing practices and explore alternatives to established methods.
However, sustainability also requires ongoing evaluation, innovation and commitment across the industry. No single technology can address every environmental challenge associated with fashion production. Progress depends on the combined efforts of designers, manufacturers, suppliers and other stakeholders throughout the value chain.
The collaboration between Kyocera Document Solutions and ANREALAGE illustrates how partnerships can help bring technological capabilities into creative practice. By integrating FOREARTH into six collections presented at Paris Fashion Week since 2024, the two companies have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to exploring the possibilities of textile inkjet printing.
Andelman expressed her interest in seeing further creative applications for printing technology in the future. She noted that its potential extends beyond clothing into design and other creative fields, suggesting opportunities for innovation across a broader range of products and applications.
