Nilit launches new trendbook
04/12/2009
Specific to activewear, the trendbook defines three big themes, for which Nilit says brands and manufacturers will need "high-performance yarn innovation".
The first is called Get Fit and is focused especially on fitness, dance and gymwear. Here, Nilit claims, fabric textures must reinforce strength and resistance while combining comfort and breathability, which its own Aquarius yarn can do.
The second theme is Easy Wear, with activities such as yoga and Pilates in mind. The focus here is on fabrics that boast softness, lightness and excellent shape retention, such as the company's Arafelle yarn.
Pro Protection is the third theme, in reference to sports garments that must be highly protective yet guarantee freedom of movement. The example Nilit gave on making the announcement was its Bodyfesh yarn, which provides anti-bacterial protection.
