The largest producers of fibres and polymers – Invista, explores the fashion potential of outdoor wear. Active wear has been gaining a lot of consumer attention, even as work place wear. Hence, Invista, in coordination with fashion tech start-up Manufacture New York (MNY), has showcases a fine collection of new designs in that sector. In sink with the need of the hour, the new collection offers the perfect foundation for casual business wear.
Primarily, it uses fibre innovations namely T400 technology by Lycra brand and Lycra Sport fibre. The technology induces multi-component yarn in which different polymers are joined together within each filament. When exposed to heat, each polymer shrinks to a different degree, producing a smooth helical crimp. Because the crimp is not mechanically induced, LYCRA® T400® fiber gives greater, more durable stretch and recovery, and a softer, smoother hand than textured yarns that are used for stretch.
