creora® Direction 09/10
Textile Directions for Swimwear : Surreal
Digital and sublimation prints shout out from ultra compact surfaces in intense colorways as a rebellious mood makes
its mark. Graphics are key, witty in appearance with a touch of kitsch applied to ultra compact surfaces. Innovative
jacquards create a 3D surface effect using contrasting colors and tri lobal yarns. Innovative use of thermo bonding
through laser cutting techniques allows solid colors and prints to be played with on 4-way stretch to incorporate sew
free technology and innovative surface effects. While the fashion statement is strong, function is still key with UV resistance, quick drying, chlorine resistance and
reduced degradation, performance that consumers have come to expect as the norm. Muted tones feature accentuated
with acidic brights, matte textures also play with bright light-catching surfaces for added contrast, and classic
black and white accentuated with energized tones and overprints. Stretch is delivered through the inclusion of fibers
from the creora® performance family, while on the synthetic side innovative cross-section yarns and cationic dyes
