THE MOOD

Supremely compact surfaces create a perfect substrate in featherweight knits . The construction throughout is compressed and tight, from nano structures to hosiery-inspired knits. Where the fun comes in is through the surface interest achieved from yarn usage or finishing.. Creating varying degrees of optical surface effect from matte powdery touch, subtle iridescent through to semi-glimmer and an array of lusters determines the look.

Fabrics are incredibly smooth, soft and have enhanced fit through the inclusion of creora® spandex/elastane. Both natural cellulosic and synthetic fibers feature in this direction delivering a variety of hands from sensually soothing and soft to metamorphic brilliance. The even surface fabrics also provide the opportunity of tone-on-tone print applications through to ultra flat jacquard relief incorporating contrasting yarns to create an optical 3D effect.

Shapewear enters into a new league as we push fabrics in this sector to a new level. The basis of creora® Power Fit is crucial in attaining the correct compression, but today’s shapewear has to have more than the core performance of fit. Decorative styling continues to gain ground, moving from the feminine aspect of the past to a more optical and abstract application. In order for the shaping garment to maintain its key feature of shaping and smoothing, the detail is achieved through different yarn use and constructions that are optically flat and don’t alter the structure. Matte yarns contrast with bright tri-lobal yarns, within a fabric or through insertion at the garment stage.

Additional added value comes through the inclusion of performance yarns ranging from cosmetic aspects to cooling as perfect add ons for this next-to-skin application. Traditionally led by synthetics, there is an increasing interest in cellulosic based shapewear enhanced by the performance of creora® eco-soft, low heat settable spandex.

Color also plays a key role in producing shapewear, that continues on its lightweight course. Mysterious in palette, traditional blacks move to the blue color spectrum with grays also coming through. Feminine pink tones also feature, but the demand for black and skin tones remains unstoppable. High compression shaping gets incredibly soft, easy to put on, due to the innovative synthetic yarns used. Today’s shape wear fabrics need to glide on and off the body with ease, yet maintain their true origin of delivering a streamlined silhouette.

THE MOOD

It’s time to inject a bit of fun and frivolity into intimate apparel as we move away from the traditional smooth fabric surfaces that dominate, and embark on a more titillating experience! A tactile and textural direction features, ranging from a sophisticated expression through to a more amusing aspect. Ruffles and ripples, raised jacquards, erratic openwork effects and blistered surfaces feature alongside a more subtle offering of flat/fancy ribs, plisses and precise openwork and drop stitch details.

Innovative bi-colored yarns create optical 3D fabrics, left flat or manipulated further through pleating to create a more vivid appeal. What is key to this direction is that it can be interpreted by different markets. Fabrics can be taken to delightful new highs or worked in a more tactful way, with detail that makes a difference. Plain knits also feature but are embellished and printed with optical results. This direction is about pushing creativity from the textile mills to the intimate apparel designers. Complimenting and contrasting on textures, colors and through final garment design, UNRULY is a perfect platform for both natural and synthetic fibers, providing a fresh appeal to intimate apparel.

THE MOOD

Active intimate apparel is a growth market as the interest in personal fitness continues in force. Key to this direction is the comfort, fit and support that can be achieved in varying levels dependent on the final application. For women, the importance of the support and function a sports bra delivers is crucial in its validity of performance from light to high level. With an abundance of sports and fitness pursuits available, the range of active intimates is immense, however there is one connecting factor: the performance it delivers in shape and support from creora® spandex/elastane and the inclusion of added functional ingredients.

From moisture management to cool touch, UV protection and thermal regulation, fabric structures also feature. Punch out, mock mesh, true mesh and modern pique all work alongside lightweight circular knits and power stretch warp knits. With the levels of function ranging from yoga to pro athlete, the fabrics range from soft natural-touch through to high powered performance in a synthetic offering. Looking to this direction, the fabrics through to the garment design are protective in both function and style, enhancing the fitness experience.
