INNOVATION: FABRICS
its shape and color over time, according to Nurain Alicharan, social
media and PR coordinator for Alternative.
"The line is versatile and unbelievably soft with a perfectly wornin look and feel," he says.

Textured Textiles

WHEN IT COMES to comfort, innovation is paramount, but creative
details are taking fabrics to the next level from a fashion perspective.
"We are building in half-steps of color in strategic fabrics
[that] we know work for the fashion basics community," says
Tory J. Lowitz, design director and director of technical design,
Bellas+Canvas.
In addition to half-steps in color, prints and dimensional textures also are current major trends in fabrics, according to Lowitz.
The company has introduced a number of styles with innovative
treatments, including its unisex poly-cotton short-sleeve tee (style
3650) that's available in gray acid and black marble.
A focus for Elbowgrease Athletics this fall will be its newto-market dobby poly. While the 100% polyester material offers
wicking and antimicrobial properties, its unique texture sets it apart.
"The surface feels like little microbeads," Winters says,
adding that fabric innovation is about taking high-tech materials
to the next level. "It's about surface interest, texture and creating
different looks." 

With texture trending
in fabrics, Elbowgrease
Athletic's dobby poly
fabric features a unique,
microbead-like feel.
