There’s an exciting trend emerging in fashion: bodywear. Categories such as swimwear, underwear, activewear, and shapewear are coming together to create versatile, high-performance apparel for active and everyday wear. It’s the future of functional fashion, and at Performance Days in Munich, we’ll join a group of other producers to highlight this trend as part of the Bodywear Collective.

Visit our booth to see, touch, and feel a collection of innovative garments that meet the bodywear moment. Made with high-quality fabrics from our European mill partners, these garments demonstrate how fashion and function can come together using LYCRA^® fibers.
