creora® Direction 09/10
Textile Directions for Swimwear : Cherish
A feeling for the 'good old days' inspires as a delicate soft color palette pulls from times gone by to create a refreshing
feminine look with a hint of innocence. There's an air of nostalgia when it comes to prints as a retro mood inspires
print design ranging from quintessentially British micro florals through to the vibrancy of summer fruits including
strawberries and cherries. Classic synthetic/creora® performance spandex/elastane blends for swimwear fabrics are
matte in appearance with texturized microfibers bring through a subtle dry surface touch. Qualities are lighter but
maintain the body shaping delivery of creora® spandex/elastane combined with modern day functions of quick drying
and anti-UV. A new direction is the paper touch woven lightweight fabrics coming through; incredibly light but opaque
for a vintage and natural feel. The dreamy-based color palette of cool milk, fudge, strawberries and cream and soft
muted pastels worked in prints and solids transcend both swim and intimate apparel in offering dual function pieces
