Eschler blends fashion and function

27/03/2009

In close cooperation with students at Swiss Textile College STF and designer Annette Kohn, Swiss knitwear specialist Eschler has created an entire fashion collection of functional fabrics. Entitled Fashion Meets Sports, the line fuses fashion and function presenting reptile looks, shimmering, fluid surfaces and sophisticated colours.

The brand offers sophisticated performance fabrics for all three layers, separated into four colour and design schemes.

The first is Flash and Glow, which features lightweight, structured knitwear and bonded qualities with matte surfaces. The soft yet bright and vibrant yellow green shade signals a fast, athletic aesthetic. The second theme is Pale Gold and uses a fresh, powdery gold to create elegant style for fabrics with a wavy or waffle structure. The Silver de Luxe trend offers high-tech performance fabrics in futuristic, clean grey and silver shades. Eschler has introduced a ripstop look in its refined, lightweight knits and plays with contrasts of shiny and matte surfaces. Finally, Copperlicious offers warm copper shades to create a collection of romantic, feminine fabrics.
