Hyosung FDC FW 26/27 Trend Byte 3
We have reached our third and final Restorative Journey Activewear theme – Paper-Weight Shield.
Paper-Weight Shield: lightweight woven fabric updated with a unique surface
Lightweight functionality is essential to active and athleisure wear – and thus, lightweight fabrics have been a megatrend for several seasons. Since consumers are seeking new styles and updated fabrics, we foresee surface lightweight woven fabrics being renewed with a papery touch and semi-shiny surface this season.
Our recommended yarns and fabrics for Paper-Weight Shield include:
Key Yarns
- regen™ BIO: USDA and SGS-certified spandex/elastane partly made with renewable resources.
- regen™ Spandex: 100% recycled, RCS-certified spandex/elastane made from the reclaimed waste from our manufacturing process.
- regen™ Ocean Nylon: GRS-certified, 100% recycled post-consumer nylon made from discarded fishing nets.
- regen™ Xanadu: 100% recycled polyester with mechanical stretch.
- CREORA® Conadu: Cotton-like touch polyester with mechanical stretch.
Suggested Fabrics
Lightweight woven fabric with a unique texture or surface such as ripstop or seersucker with ventilation holes for breathable function.
