TRUTHTHE MOODInstinctively organic in inspiration, we need to pull from the pool of bothnatural and synthetic yarns in creating the desired natural hand feel butwe must take it to a new level. An eco story features with recycled syn-thetics and the inclusion of creora® eco-soft, but it is the touch combinedwith an almost artificial approach to natural nuances that can be foundas gray and neutral tones go to the wayside and bright and vibrant natural tones shine through.

The inclusion of creora® Color+ delivers a wide range of functionality fromsoft comfort stretch through to powerful core stability, from base layersto outer layers in just the right enhanced tones. Conveying a smooth,calm and truthful aspect for non impact sports, TRUTH continues the interest in wellbeing and healthwear, confirming the need for a bolderand brighter offering.

PHANTASMTHE MOODAn illusive aspect to the activewear sector, focused on the pro and semipro market. Performance fabrics are getting lighter and lighter but inthis sector stretch and recovery are essential in offering support andbuilt-in performance that embraces and protects the body. Deceptive inappearance, micro fine and featherweight but with so much power, surface appeal also features through luminosity and with moiré finishesand calendared effects.

This is next generation activewear with a unisex appeal, keeping in linewith the rise in sensory devices and wearable technology. This year itmoves forward from the futuristic influence of the past and returns to amore natural phenomena, ethereal yet protective but not too out of reachon a commercial level.
