Textile Directions
FOR INTIMATES
Simply Sensual : Featherweight fabrics continue to dominate the lingerie scene as fine denier creora® yarns are
incorporated into barely-there fabrics.
Natural Charm : Environmental issues take the forefront as the focus on nature and respecting the environment
becomes a part of everyone’s daily life.
Decorative Desire : Ahost of inspirations from urban chic to gothic desire leads to a more decorative expression in lingerie.
Sport Sensation : Fit, freedom and support all backed with added-value performance including anti-microbial finishes
and moisture management systems are essential for working out.

coincides; the focus and interest for the well-being of the body and mind.
Performance Pace : Energized and power stretch second skin functional fabrics that invigorate, embrace and contain the
body emerge in new matte and high gloss directions.

Lightness is key without neglecting the full range of functions as well as high performance stretch
and recovery achieved from creora®.
Extreme : Multi-functional fabrics combined with comfort and fit in amazing new lightweights are the key
requirements for extreme sports as waterproof, windproof, moisture wicking and warmth result in
high performance garments that not only protect but allow the wearer to push their activity to the extreme.
FOR SWIMWEAR

synthetics with creora® in high-tech knit constructions.
Summer Deluxe : The traditional dense surface of swimwear fabric is being given textured illusions to emulate the
intimate apparel trend of surface expression.

retro feel without neglecting the essential chlorine resistance required in today’s swimwear.
Miami Vice : New lighter weight qualities feature in a kitsch retro look contrasting textures from micromesh, sueded
surface effects through to solids compliment in coordinating prints and colors.
FOR READY-TO-WEAR
Basics Update : Two conflicting trends emerge in basics; one following a compact and protective direction while the
other pursues a more expressive and rebellious route.
Fluidity : Fit and flare are featured in fluid qualities as single and double jersey qualities stretch the
boundaries.
Dedicated Denim : As with the featherweight fabrics featuring in the intimates sector, denim is following an equally lighter
route without neglecting the strength and durability associated with heavier weights.

lustrous and matte finishes for a pleasurable experience.
