Cordura merges with Esmond to create technical textile innovation

The collaboration is set to develop ideas for more fashionable and consumable protective personal equipment (PPE).

The collaboration will also help raise awareness about technical textile innovations amongst young designers. Using a range of Cordura’s high-performance fabrics, Students from the ESMOND fashion collect are set to design garments which reportedly showcase a crossover between fashion, sport and work clothing.

ESMOND will be sampling Cordura’s high-visibility, abrasion resistant, denim and wool fabrics over the course of the project, with final designs having the opportunity to be displayed at the upcoming US OutDoor Retailer exhibition.
