21 July 2010, Paris - The creora by Hyosung collection of fibres will focus on the Intimate Apparel market with three 2012 trends at Interfiliere/Paris Mode City: Perfection, Nurture and Retro Fit.

Perfection

Second skin fabrics embrace the body, perfect in constructions with high performance through the power of creora spandex/elastane yarns. The mood of this direction incorporates matte and clean finishes with gloss to project a futuristic look. Featherweight fabrics get lighter and more compact in their knit construction, up to 50 gauge knit, without losing the performance that creora offers.

Clean cut technology, bonded seams, ultra flat selvedge fabrics and laser cutting offer a clean and precise flawless finish. Look to ultra smooth surfaces from gloss finishes to paper touch stretch and support with a diaphanous finish.  The mood is pure perfection in appearance but also in fit.

The reduction in CMT with today’s modern technology combined with the consumers’ interest in lighter shapewear and the perfect fit for daily intimate apparel drives this textile direction.

Perfection highlights creora H-350 for high compression knits with compact matte, glossy and pearlized surface warp and circular looks.

 Creora eco H-550 adds stretch and sustainability for clean cut edges, while creora black adds depth to dark colours and reduced grin through. MIPAN fine dull, bright and sparkling lusters for matte and papery to lucid and glossy looks in lightweight sheer knits. New MIPAN micro fine and silky polyester for ethereal second skin vapory fabrics.

Perfection Theme:  Smooth – Compact – Papery – Silky – Gleaming – Glossy - Embracing

Perfection Garment:  Basic Intimates for Womenswear – Seamless Shapewear – Sports Bras &   Briefs – Microfibre constructions for Menswear

Retro Fit

Modern fabrics packed with power embrace the female form as a desire for the glamour of the 1950s continues for shapewear and lingerie. The retro influenced fabrics have the look with enhanced softness combined with control from the inclusion of creora spandex/elastane fibres. Black dominates with intense matt, satin and high gloss fabrics enhanced with creora black.

Also important is the fresh aspect of pure white and cosmetic tones in sparkling forms highlighting a synthetic content that is set to shine. The core of this inspiration stretches the scale from the darker side of 1950s burlesque to the moody aspects of the era’s film noir for dark and seductive elements. The frisson of this era also encourages a brighter aspect, with sharp sherbet tones injecting a softer feminine delivery in glossy and sugary aspects.

The appeal of this direction is that it looks synthetic, shiny and new, real glamour with a retro twist as softness and stretch to embrace the body.

Retro Fit embraces warp knit tri-lobal satins with enhanced surface lustre and power stretch with creora performance H-350 for engineered power and high compression for body shaping at all levels from low to high control. 

Virgin white and retro cosmetic tones will be enhanced with creora eco H-550 for whiter whites and reduced yellowing while creora black for best selling intense black tones and reduced grin through. MIPAN fine offers a sheer and transparent effect in semi dull, bright or for a more modern direction, a sparkling lustre to both warp and circular knits.

Nurture

With ecological aspects impacting consumers’ daily lives, Nuture is a core inspiration for intimate apparel. Less energy intensive fabrics will lead to a greener future and this is where creora eco H-550 completes the story in blends with natural fibres and also the new generation of sustainable fibres.

As regular cotton is improved in keeping with a greener image while organic cotton offers a premium option, the king of natural fibres features in featherweight circular knits.

Other fibres include seaweed, wood, Lyocell, soya and bamboo viscose. But it is recycled synthetics that hold this direction, offering the benefits of microfiber performance.

Both natural and synthetic yarns are offered in very fine counts enabling a soft direction for seamless and circular knits, so these fabrics can embrace the body. With nature the core of this direction, it doesn’t just influence the fibre content but also transpires through to the fabric appearance. From raw and dry hand feels to nature’s glossy aspects, contrasting finishes feature.

creora eco H-550, offers stretch and environmentally friendly aspects to sustainable fibres - mercerized cotton, long staple Egyptian and pima cotton in fine counts, viscose can be used dull or bright for its softness and fluidity, Tencel and Micro Modal and Micro Modal AIR for enhanced softness against the skin and strong sustainable aspects when blended with creora eco H-550. creora black for intense black tones, heathered effects when teamed with lighter colourways and yarn dyed stripes.
