Teijin Frontier, the Teijin Group’s fibres and products converting company, has developed a new cotton-like high-performance polyester material for athleisure fashion.

The new material has been developed to combine the look and texture of cotton with superior properties for moisture absorption, quick drying and UV protection. Notably, the cotton-like features are achieved with polyester filament yarn, not a staple fibre. What’s more, Teijin Frontier’s new material is eco-friendly because it is made with recycled raw materials.

The blend of Sorona fibres and Thindown is designed to eliminate several drawbacks associated with the use of traditional down filling. According to DuPont, the combination can reduce cold spots with a single sheet of fabric versus quilted sections, delivering greater warmth and breathability, while simultaneously adding drape and stretch for greater movement. Additionally, with the use of bio-based Sorona fibres, the collaboration yields a more sustainable insulated material option versus traditional down, which comes from animal plumage, or nylon, which requires 40% more energy to produce.

It all happened between 2000 and 2008, when the premium international brands started to invade into the Indian market. Although, there were a few Indian brands that started exhibiting their new and stylish designs hoping to capture the attention of the Indian women. Slowly, innerwear invaded the retail segment through Exclusive Branded Outlets, LFS and departmental stores.

This year’s INTIMASIA 3.0 will surely be exciting and interesting as compared to its two previous versions, as in this year, Lenzing’s own textile brand Tencel TM will be the prime sponsorer.

He said that, "We could have opened (this mill) in China, 10 times its current size," Also,"But we decided to do it in Hong Kong to prove two things – that we can solve our local textile waste problem locally, and that in such a small, compact city, sustainable (textile recycling) is feasible."
