The Graphic Body: • Think 1960 vs 2010 - sculptural silhouettes are now a common sight in many designer collections with strong shouldered tailoring teaming up with short dresses, short skirts or cropped skinny trousers where the focus is on the leg • Colour blocking, often in combination with skin tones or classic black and white, is combined with graphic lines and a play of opaque and sheer • A new key look is the biker trouser silhouette either integrated into a pair of tights made with LYCRA fibre or on its own • Plus, the heelless and toeless fine gauge short sock where the asymmetric graphic lines stay perfectly in place thanks to the LYCRA fibre
Slashed & Perforated: • Bold openwork, lace and other transparencies are as key to ready-to-wear as they are to legwear • Opaque, no shine leggings and hosiery have graphic perforations and slashed cut-outs LYCRA fibre brings comfort to all-in-ones and leggings • With this trend, strong, abstract slashed and perforated cut-outs are specifically layered over skinny denim leggings showing the highly fashionable look • The colours that complement this trend are black, white and denim blue however bright colours or those in contrasting skin tones work well with this style too
The LYCRA fibre brand continues to plays an integral role in legwear providing wearers with the added benefits of comfort, fit and shape. Committed to innovation, the LYCRA fibre brand demonstrates new thinking for 2010.
