Textile Directions for Intimates :
Nature’s Gift
Sustainability is the buzzword on the international front as the textile sector
continues to grow its interest in the environment and the emphasis on reducing
carbon emissions and pollution continues. This season's emphasis isn't solely on the
eco aspect but also on what these fibers can do to enhance the wearer's wellbeing.
Ecology and performance merge as built-in anti-bacterial and anti-microbial function
feature. With the new natural fibers in the limelight, classic cotton and wool continue
to feature as spinners and textile manufactures review their processing methods in
creating more environmentally friendly final products. Smooth and compact surfaces
feature as these fibers further develop look to developing more intricate lace qualities
and jacquards. Synthetics take on a peachskin look with super soft effects and take
on board the ecological aspect through energy and water saving processes.PRODUCTS
