Textile Directions 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. On the compact front classic twill and
gabardine constructions are tight, surfaces matte or glazed for a sleek finish in new lighter weight
qualities that transcend seasons. Functional fibers and finishes move from the active wear sector into
ready-to-wear offering built-in easy care including wrinkle resistant finishes. Stretch is crucial for 24/7
comfort especially in streamlined silhouettes. In contrast surfaces get expressive with a return to
tradition as loose hopsack weaves, laser cutting, puckered weaves and open jacquards bring a sense
of adventure to ready-to-wear.FABRICS
