TRENDS

Welcome back to our FDC Trend Byte series! Our next Wanderlust stub-trend is called Vibrant Nature – which is all about feel good athleisure with enhanced plant- based materials.

Vibrant Nature 

 As consumer awareness of environmental changes becomes more acute, the consistent use of natural materials continues. To encourage and promote the use of planet-friendly materials, natural fibers for performance athleisure fabrics, such as jersey blends with Tencel or modal, with functional nylon will actively be used. 

Key Yarns 

• regen Bio-based Spandex: USDA and SGS-certified spandex/elastane partly made with renewable resources.
• CREORA Color+: a special acid/reactive dyeable spandex/elastane, which has excellent elasticity with the added benefit of providing long-lasting richer colors in nylon and natural fiber blends. It reduces grin-through on textile products and makes fabric colors deeper and more vivid.
• regen Aqua-x Nylon: 100% recycled nylon with cooling action.
• regen Ocean Nylon: GRS-certified, 100% recycled post-consumer nylon made from discarded fishing nets.

Suggested Fabrics
