comfort in harmony with the environment.The focus is on lightness and fabrics which boast softness, comfort and excellent<br />
shape retention. An authentic natural handle and heathered effect can be created from NILIT ® Arafelle yarn.<br />
Origins<br />
A search for roots evokes a new sense of spirituality and an increased affinity to<br />
the world of nature. A conscious effort towards environmental change and a need<br />
for authenticity translates into a trend discovering beauty in a multitude of textures<br />
and colors. Body and soul encompass the values of well-being and healthy living.<br />
The trend embodies a return to innocence expressed in an up-dated vintage<br />
look using fine-gauge knits that are both refined and rustic. Natural cottony handles<br />
and interesting knitted constructions feature transparent and opaque patterns and<br />
textured combinations. The challenge will be to combine delicacy and functionality.<br />
The allure of the intricate patterns, rich hues and inspiring textures<br />
of nature creates a celebration of colors with nature as a backdrop. Earth<br />
tones of brown and green harmonize with faded shades of dusty pink,<br />
stone and lilac. Bodywear embraces patterns of nature inspired by plants,<br />
lush vegetation, large floral motifs and sprigs of leaves in unusual shades.<br />
Embracing modern styling with eras past, the loungewear wardrobe<br />
evolves featuring naïve shapes which are enhanced by soft-touch fabrics<br />
that are effortless to wear. Camisoles, bodies and cardigans with irregular<br />
textured surfaces feature pin-tucks, vintage laces and embroideries<br />
and rustic hand-crafted trimmings. Patterned legwear is a key product.<br />

SENSUAL LUXURY. A sensual lingerie mood demands fabric with a fluid hand and luxurious touch. Lingerie, shapewear and<br />
lounge wear join forces to create a rich galaxy of multi-functional products. The elegance and high luster of satin is created<br />
using NILIT ® Britex yarn.<br />
Treasure<br />
The desire for luxury is expressed with a greater focus on refined beauty and<br />
an appreciation of antiques and the couture tradition. This is a trend for women<br />
who love luxury, embrace fashion and appreciate quality in every aspect of their<br />
lives. The wonders of nature and antique treasures of the world are major influences.<br />
Satin, silk, lavish jacquards and taffeta inspire second-skin<br />
fabrics created in the couture spirit. State-of-the-art yarn and<br />
knitting technology provide a technological interpretation to techniques<br />
of traditional craftsmanship. Luxurious transparent lightweights<br />
contrast with novelty textures and jacquards with vintage echoes.<br />
Unexpected contrasts of fabrics from the world of interiors enter the realm of<br />
lingerie in sublime color combinations with an eccentric twist. Old gold, patina hues<br />
and honey tones illuminate a new romantic spirit. Powdered refined colors set the tone<br />
for sensuous bodywear trimmed with ruffles, innovative accents and antique lace.<br />
Seamless technology redefines shapewear, injecting glamour<br />
and style into body shapers. Corsetry-inspired silhouettes create<br />
a new sensuous image for these must-have products. Precious,<br />
sophisticated loungewear conjures up images of the silk route and is<br />
adorned with oversize motifs of wall-paper florals and arabesque motifs.<br />

COLORFUL FLEXABILITY. An audacious “anything goes” mood integrates eclectic mixes of patterns and fabrics in a riot of<br />
color. Daring color combinations are created using NILIT ® Colorwise yarns which go hand in hand with performance functions<br />
and flexibility.<br />
Anti Icon<br />
Daring and liberated, bodywear is breaking all the rules by combining<br />
individualistic mixes of retro and futuristic elements to create an image that<br />
embodies contradiction and provocation. Streetwear-inspired, the trend<br />
is a showy meeting of diverse fabrics, bold patterns and striking colors.<br />
Style and technology meet as natural textures contrast with dull metallic surfaces<br />
and unusual fabric treatments. Thanks to innovative yarn technology, supple jerseys<br />
contrast with sheer textures combining comfort with performance. Stripes, graffiti<br />
and fractal images are inspired by digital technology and eclectic urban elements.<br />
A vivid multi-colored palette dominates stripes, jacquards and solid colors.<br />
Graphic motifs and burn-out effects in black and ultra-white are enlivened with<br />
strong primary contrasts. The paradoxical color range creates an energetic,<br />
non-conformist look which is worn with ardor and a touch of anti-style.<br />
Bold graphic panels combine with corset-inspired cuts for young and trendy<br />
consumers who love to mix streetwear and lingerie genres. Shapewear is centrestage<br />
as bold city graphics and architecture set the tone for sculpted and structured<br />
silhouettes. These receive a boost from the new yarn and knitting technologies.<br />

ECO DESIGN. Concerns for the future of the planet are embraced in innovative and creative designs which harmonize with<br />
the environment. Merging protection, well-being and ecology, products are created using NILIT ® EcoCare recycled yarns<br />
which concur with the global awareness of eco-friendly manufacturing processes.<br />
SYNERGY<br />
The contemporary approach to activewear combines sports, leisure<br />
activities, wellness and comfort. Multi-functional bodywear successfully<br />
blends style with cutting-edge technology, and state-of-the-art fibers<br />
inspire new ways to wear activewear from day into night. Eco-friendly yarns<br />
provide the perfect synergy between protection, well-being and ecology.<br />
The quest for performance begins with essential base layers which<br />
provide a high degree of support and protection. Breathable and ultrafitted,<br />
these garments are ergonomically designed to include variegated<br />
panels providing definition and reinforcement. Dynamic contours ensure<br />
zone-specific compression while adding stretch and breathability.<br />
The search for harmony and stability has resulted in increased<br />
interest in sports such as yoga and tai chi whose meditative aspects<br />
maintain optimum health and relieve stress. Close-fitting seamless<br />
garments provide excellent mobility in the yoga studio and loose-fitting<br />
“after” garments ensure freedom of movement with maximum comfort.<br />
Fashionably styled fitness and dancewear meet in an energetic range of<br />
innovative products made from technical performance fabrics. Light-weight<br />
sports bras provide maximum support with minimum construction. Color is the<br />
key, and vibrant combinations of patterns and textures add pizzazz to solid knits.<br />

FREESTYLE<br />
Crossing the boundary between technology and street fashion, multifunctional<br />
activewear combines versatility and functional features with urban cool.<br />
Technical fibers have become increasingly fashion conscious and there is a move<br />
towards more pleasing and natural handles with an emphasis on performance.<br />
Urban sports are the focus of this trend which gets a boost from a<br />
vivid color palette and a range of high-energy tones.. Bright body-contouring<br />
piping, contrasting linings and bold color-blocking are key style feature for<br />
a trend that is characterized by a colorful play of graphics and logos.<br />
High-performance activewear for cross-training, running and fitness<br />
demands supportive and breathable bodywear creating a perfect synergy between<br />
functionality and design. Gym wear is energized with seamless technology which<br />
provides an unbeatable combination of comfort, versatility and performance.<br />
For fitness and training gear, the body demands functional and breathable<br />
bodywear which is perfectly attuned to the needs of competitive<br />
sports. High-tech functional garments must be extremely flexible<br />
and guarantee temperature regulation and moisture management.<br />

The great outdoors provides the inspiration for sports that challenge<br />
the elements and which require tough, durable garments with engineered<br />
ergonomic features. Seamless garment technology focuses on body contours<br />
by supporting key muscle groups to enable them to generate maximum power.<br />
Support and style meet in activewear that explores the boundaries<br />
of endurance, performance and aesthetics. Reinforced knees,<br />
elbows and shoulders allow for wear and tear and place the focus<br />
on yarns that offer flexibility as well as protection. The emphasis is on<br />
lightness in these protective products which enhance performance.<br />
For triathletes who seek optimal protection and performance,<br />
textured surfaces allow for maximum moisture transfer and comfort. The key<br />
protective elements of these garments are strategically placed<br />
panels which provide breathability while ensuring specific<br />
levels of elasticity and perfectly controlled compression.<br />
Garments feature panels with unusual shapes, ribbed inserts and vivid<br />
color accents. Linear stripes run through ribbing, and contrasting<br />
flatlock seams emphasize angular cuts. Graphic logos infuse a<br />
dash of novelty while knits combine elaborate surface effects and<br />
textures with advanced thermo-regulation and moisture management.<br />
