The new Superman flies with Catalan elegance
On the big screen, every detail counts. And in the new version of Superman, the iconic superhero not only saves the world: he also dresses in high-flying design.
His red cape, an eternal symbol of power and justice, is made from a fabric created by the Catalan firm Gratacós, one of the most prestigious textile houses on the international scene.
It is the Ebro model, a deep red crêpe with impeccable drape, produced in the workshops the firm has in Como, Italy. It is one of the most in-demand fabrics in the Gratacós catalogue—over 400,000 metres are sold each year—and now gives life to the mantle of Superman as portrayed by David Corenswet, in a production directed by James Gunn.
Gratacós, founded in 1940 in Barcelona, has managed to reinvent itself without losing its essence. From its discreet headquarters on a street in the Gràcia neighbourhood, it launches its own collections, dresses brands such as Balmain or Carolina Herrera, and dazzles in Hollywood y Broadway. Its fabrics have appeared in series like Los Bridgerton and have been worn by celebrities such as the Reina Letizia or Kate Middleton.
