The contemporary woman wants to accentuate her natural curves, be in the best body shape and comfortably march ahead with style, panache and confidence. This is the reason why shapewear is a fast growing category in India.

INVISTA conducted a global consumer study# that confirms that nearly all women (93%) show interest in the shaping attribute when purchasing intimate apparel. Whatever their age or body shape, women want truly performing garments without compromising comfort, that they can wear on special occasions or every day, year-in, year-out.

INVISTA introduced LYCRA beauty fabrics to meet consumer demand of comfort and shaping, these fabrics are engineered to meet extremely demanding standards that can create new solutions for shapewear that satisfies the expectations of consumers. Building on Indian consumer’s demand of cotton based intimate garments, INVISTA introduced LYCRA BEAUTY fabric in cotton in 2013 and these fabrics will be showcased at Galleria Intima.

Indian men have complained of Ride Up issues in their favorite cotton boxer briefs for ages. To improve comfort of cotton underwear users INVISTA introduced LYCRA FREEF!T fabric, following a global cross gender consumer study led by Strategic Insights and analysis of 300 commercial garments around the world. Underwear made with LYCRA FREEF!T fabrics offers improved comfort, breathability, no ride-up benefits to consumer.

Demand of Thermals is increasing at a rapid pace in India, however using thermal means that consumers need to buy garments atleast one size bigger, to comfortably fit in their other garments. Popular thermal wear available in Indian market tend to be bulky and thick to provide appropriate level of warmth. This is where THERMOLITE fabric from INVISTA promises to provide lightweight warmth.
