2 INSTINCT THE MOOD Traditional natural and natural touch fabrics infiltrate this activewear sector with new technical developments. Consumers still demand the inherent touch of natural fibers, especially when worn against the skin, but paramount to this is the fit and function fabrics can deliver. The natural inspiration isn t just updated on the yarn front; it has to be updated on the color front too! Embrace the nuances of unique natural colors, boosted by creora Color+ for a vibrant finish combined with an embracing fit. Soft stretch through to core stability compression features with the inclusion of creora spandex/elastane yarns. The natural inspiration automatically triggers a sixth sense in true sustainability through the textile chain from water and energy saving to recycled yarns without neglecting high levels of performance. Both warp knit and circular knit fabrics deliver on the desired flexibility and fit with waxy surfaces mimicking the protective aspect of fruit skin and the compact aspect of plant and flower stems and stalks through to the smoothness of minerals. Texture also features in more erratic organic form with color playing striations in mélange tone-on-tone effects. creora PRODUCTS creora eco-soft the natural and sustainable option in spandex/elastane creora Black blacker blacks with reduced grin through creora Color+ - enhances the new natural hues on offer BLENDING PARTNERS BCI cotton - Better Cotton Initiative Organic cotton Mercerized cotton for inherent sheen Lyocell and modal Merino wool for its unique thermoregulating performance in bi and multi blends with creora eco-soft MIPAN regen and regen for a sustainable synthetic delivery, fabrics where performance nurtures nature MIPAN fine & soft for a natural touch in fine count knits cotna cotton touch polyester

4 GENERATE THE MOOD It may be the mind that fuels the determination in sports, but it is the body that is the performance tool. Taking this into consideration, Generate is inspired by our very makeup, the intricacy of anatomical structures to the fascination of cells. Body embracing fabrics are fundamental in enhancing the wearers performance as well as offering protection from injury. High compression knits feature in this sector benefitting from creora Power Fit for excellent shaping and compression, with surfaces in both circular and warp knits taking on a semi dull to satin finish through the inclusion of synthetics. While compact fabrics embrace the body there is also a demand for detail, offered through innovative jacquard structures, digital prints, punch out details through to lasering. Massaging textured warp knits feature with 3D surface effects through to the inclusion of FIR yarns for increasing the circulation. Clean cut is a key component to this sector, but it is the performance level that fabrics can offer to compliment the structures including quick dry, moisture management, UV protection and cool touch. creora PRODUCTS creora Color+ enhancing the brighter tones on offer creora Black blacker blacks without grin through creora Power Fit for high level compression and chlorine resistance BLENDING PARTNERS MIPAN aqua-x for cool touch and moisture management MIPAN FIT for energizing aerocool perfect for S/S 16 applications aerowarm lightweight warmth for winter delivery askin cool touch polyester with UV protection

6 PROWESS THE MOOD Pushing boundaries and breaking barriers is key in pushing performance to the limit. Sport is an age-old activity but it maintains its momentum through reinvention and no more so than through the extreme and aggro sports pursued by adrenalin junkies who relish endurance. In keeping with reinvention, the core inspiration pulls from the past as an industrial approach inspires the fabric construction in this direction. Grueling and hardcore is the look, but as we know, looks can be deceiving and through the inclusion of innovative yarn combinations, knits and wovens are actually lighter. Masculine, robust and rugged in its approach this is an asexual offering, an equality reigns in this hardcore sector. Forget high-end shine, there is a grungy aspect to this direction, as aged industrial tones vie with worn-down black. The final look is one of nonchalance and effortlessness, these consumers want to naturally look the part without looking like they are having too much help from today s performance fibers. creora PRODUCTS creora Power Fit for high level compression and core stability creora highclo for super chlorine resistance creora Black for dark grungy tones BLENDING PARTNERS MIPAN aqua-x for cool touch moisture management in textured yarns for a grainy touch MIPAN FIT nylon and aerogear polyester FIR yarns for enhanced circulation and energized performance and recovery MIPAN robic for additional strength aerocool for superior moisture management and UV protection aerosilver for permanent performance aerowarm - warmth without the weight cotna for a natural touch and appearance

8 CYBER THE MOOD Futuristic in its offering, interaction is the name of the game as fabrics embrace, protect and enhance, connecting directly with the wearer. Featherweight fabrics are packed full of performance ranging from semi dull to brilliant and tri-lobal qualities that gleam. Surfaces are compact, clean and smooth, defying gravity and taking on the appearance of the casing of a modern robot. Fabrics react with the performance, from FIR energizing functions through to cool touch and core stability at varying levels of performance. Reflection enhances the look applied through phosphorescent yarns and reflective stretch prints and transfers. Computer circuit boards feature in prints and inspire jacquard effects. Black is key to this group with creora Black offering intense tones eliminating grin through. UV protection in featherweight whites with opacity delivers on the clean look too. With the rise of social media and immediacy of connection, fabrics in this direction follow suit, fast reacting to the wearer s demands at all levels. creora PRODUCTS creora Power Fit for high level compression creora Color+ enhances the new digital colors on offer creora Black for intense dark tones BLENDING PARTNERS MIPAN aqua-x for cool touch and moisture management in semi dull yarns MIPAN FIT & aerogear energizing the wearer Tri-lobal MIPAN nylon for next generation luster in the sports arena Polypropylene for the lightest level of high performance fabrics with creora eco-soft askin for brilliant white opacity and UV protection aercool and aerowarm polyester for all season thermoregulation Reflective yarns and finishes Phosphorescent polyester yarns that charge in the day and reflect in the dark
