Hyosung, one of the world's largest producers of nylon, polyester, and spandex fibres, has introduced new fibres and fabrics and its 2013 Intimate Apparel directions. The new fibres include MIPAN rexy for modern glamour with high glistenette appeal and MIPAN aqua X for cool touch and moisture management.

Future Perfect

Dark and devilishly alluring, the core to Future Perfect is the strength and power of the fabrics while keeping an optically delicate appeal. Fabric surfaces vary from matte and compact through to varying lustres from high gloss reflective to new generation shine to the edgy glamour of high lacquered finishes.

Contrast with the destructive appeal of openwork jacquards and power net, fabrics fall into the new generation of super lightweights without neglecting comfort and support. A dark delicacy contrasts with the intensity of new generation shine, deceptive in its appearance; fabrics mould, embrace and sculpt the body with engineered power and compression from creora performance H-350.

Add creora black for essential blacker than black tones, MIPAN rexy for a modern glistenette style and tri-lobal synthetics for a gleaming finish. Microfibers give the most delicate of structures plus the core strength and built-in support with the comfort fit of creora elastane yarns. Use variable modulus support of different fabrics in integrated zones.

Liberate

A feeling of freedom keeps fit and support with inspiration drawn from the spirit of the 1920s. From the fast-paced fun and folly of the Charleston to the Art Deco era, the art movement adds a strong decorative aspect to influence fashion and function. Lightweight surfaces create a subtle textural effect, reminiscent of vintage woven crêpe

Surfaces and silk charmeuse. Fine gauge knits become lighter in weight but still deliver power in matte and opaque finishes.

Surface effects vary from the dull aspect of micro crêpe to the pearlescent shine of modern synthetics. Fabrics take on a silky look, reminiscent of traditional intimate apparel reborn using modern technology and fibres. Despite the sense of freedom, there is a decorative element to this trend with contrasting yarn jacquards, prints and lively motif applied in stretch lace and through embroidery.

Use creora eco H-550 for lighter fabrics with reduced curling and creora performance H-350 for engineered power and compression. MIPAN fine gives a super soft touch and drape and silky a soft touch polyester with silky drape and fluidity. Silk, a natural alternative, teamed with creora eco H-550 energy saving low heat set elastane.
