Material trends SS2017
Spring Summer 2017

Lightness, shine, texture
- Cotton GAZES and especially double gauze are the materials of the season: fluid, light, with their open weave and requiring little maintenance.
- The SAILS (cotton or other) ensure transparency and lightness.
- LAMÉS in stripes or checks.
- " Metallic leathers ": from leather to faux leather in a metal version.
- Cotton jerseys are found in various forms; from the most rustic with slub cottons to the most precious with mercerized aspects that give a satiny and lustrous effect.
- ENGLISH EMBROIDERY and lace remain strong this summer again
- Les Façonnés (plumetis, cotton fabric with small drawn shapes).
- Crepon or "seer-sucker" type embossed effects confirm their presence.
& Comfort
- JERSEY BOUCLETTE KNITS are developed with mixtures of yarns, more rustic slub effects to make comfortable sweatshirts, pants, shorts or dresses.
- TENCEL® : the new fashionable natural fiber
It comes from eucalyptus cellulose; the pulp of the tree is dissolved in a natural, non-toxic solvent. Tencel is particularly eco-friendly because it is a 100% natural fiber, but also biodegradable. Very soft to the touch, Tencel is between cotton and silk, with the advantage of being a wrinkle-resistant material. The material is like a second skin very popular in fashion and more and more in children. It is also found in the form of dresses, shorts, t-shirts. - DENIMS are still very present, often very faded.
