Italian knitted fashion fabrics producer Piave Maitex will exhibit the new printed collection Beachwear 2016 and a preview of the Lingerie collection Spring/Summer 2016 at the upcoming Mare Di Moda – Intimo Di Moda 2014.

The exhibition for European Beachwear and Underwear Fabrics and Accessories will take place from 11-13 November in Cannes, where it will present a wide range of the latest products and trends.

New fabrics

Body One Swim bands are designed specifically to highlight the natural beauty of a woman’s body. It is a comfortable and elegant concept fabric suitable for beach and swimming pool, anti-UV and sand-proof, perfect fit, soft chlorine resistant yarns, bright colors, the company reports.

Now making their debut in the swimwear series enhanced tattoo-like graphics are implemented by jacquard technology. Customised cutting is said to allow for quick flexible styling options from a semi-covering bikini, rather than a classical one, to the more intriguing outfit, all this at lower costs.

New challenge in beachwear

According to the company, polypropylene, already popular among technical users thanks to the moisture management and heat insulation properties, hardly found a place in beachwear fabrics manufacturing.

This, the company believes, is due to the two main reasons – poor performance of stretch properties and zero printing options.

In response to this problem, Piave Maitex has developed a fabric with better stretch and higher comfort obtained by combining soft polipropylene on the skin side and nylon microfibre on the outer side. The new product is also said to enable prints and bright colours, dryer feeling on the skin with a thermoregulation effect that reduces water thermal shock.

Studio Beachwear Collection

The Studio Beachwear 2016 series of Piave Maitex is based on the following brand new themes:

Sound Beach represent vibrant colours, animalier motifs combined with clean lines defining a contemporary style, at the same time inspired by street art and the fancy reminiscences of Africa, with stylised skins coloured with unusual shades and ethnic motifs.

Fashionable is an explosion of flamboyant flowers, brightly tinted and shaded, and exciting oriental designs that characterise this romantic and at the same time fashionable theme. Clean, bright and sensual colours are used on light silks suitable for cover-ups and elegant beachwear dresses, romantic stylised flowers are coloured by vivid and sunny tones on lively bikini and on eccentric beach suits.

Original Spash is a colourful theme that articulates between classics and original dots, eccentric geometry, circle rings, and geometric motifs inspired by the Visual Design. Digital designs with a touch of refinement, coloured in clean tones.
