US: Invista extends Lycra certification scheme
Author: just-style.com | 22 June 2011
Fibre producer Invista is extending its Lycra fabric certification programme, dubbed The Science of Shaping, at the Mode City trade show in Paris next month.
The scheme, first introduced at Mode City in September last year, has become a more dedicated application within the intimate apparel segment, also expanding into swimwear for the first time.
This year’s version of the programme features a wider selection of materials, from lace and lightweight fabrics to seamless garment construction technology.
“A break into swimwear is a natural progression for the brand, as we extend our science of shaping insights to other areas of the textile industry,” said Ninabeth Sowell, global marketing director of the intimate apparel and swimwear segment for Invista.
