Lycra Legwear Innovation Day took place in the Castel Goffredo District, the Italian hosiery capital, last month, attracting 160 representatives from leading Italian hosiery manufacturers and brands.

The Lycra brand collaborated with its Italian distributor Fulgar, an international leader in manufacturing and distributing manmade fibres, and an authority on the Italian legwear industry, to organise the fourth instalment of this event.

Exclusive presentation

While the latest legwear trends and Lycra fibre innovations were presented in March to a larger international trade audience at Lycra Fiber Moves IV, Innovation Day presented them exclusively to Italian hosiery knitters, yarn coverers, distributors, and hosiery brands.

By hosting this invitation-only event, the Lycra brand says it aimed to demonstrate the importance of the Italian legwear market, confirm its leadership role as a unique source of fibre innovation and creative inspiration to best anticipate upcoming trends, and celebrate the brand’s close relationships with leading Italian firms.

Lycra Fiber Moves IV
