TRENDS

We’ve reached our fourth and final FDC FW 27/28 Relaxed Outdoors theme, Coudy Motion – Gentle puffers meet soft stretch with a comfort athleisure look.

Cloudy Motion

This trend reimagines the classic puffer that’s designed for both comfort and performance – jackets that perfectly pair with streamlined leggings and a supportive bra top, creating an athleisure look. Fabrics such as stretch wovens with a gentle and soft touch provide comfort and a cozy sensation, making them ideal for an effortlessly stylish aesthetic suited to urban adventures or light workouts, while also ensuring warmth and ease during outdoor and active pursuits.

Our recommended yarns, fabrics and applications for Cloudy Motion include:

Key Yarns

• regen™ BIO Spandex/Elastane: spandex partly made with renewable resources.
• regen™ Spandex: 100% recycled, RCS-certified spandex 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™ Aerolight Polyester: a lightweight 100% recycled polyester providing outstanding moisture management function and refreshing feel.
• regen™ Ocean Nylon: GRS-certified, 100% recycled post-consumer nylon made from discarded fishing nets.
• regen™ Cotna: a 100% recycledpolyester that provides the same soft texture as cotton while maintaining excellent shape stability. It’s resistant to wrinkling and pilling and absorbs and dries moisture quickly to keep you comfortable.
• CREORA® Color+ Spandex/Elastane: 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.

Suggested Fabrics

The key focus is on down jacket fabrics that provide enhanced comfort and ease of movement by applying spandex to improve stretchability. By using dyeable spandex like Color+ and

regen® spandex, which offer excellent stretch, anti-grin-through properties, and lower environmental impact, we deliver not only comfortable movement but also added value.
