Positive Vibes: Composed and Curated Rebellion. A wild mix of patterns, prints and dyes come together to deliver a perfect symphony of style, promoting diversity, inclusivity and creative expression. Personalisation makes fashion “for me” and empowers by offering choice. Lycra Adaptiv fibre personalises fit. It provides shaping and compression as needed and makes garments easier to put on and take off – perfect for modern, busy lifestyles. © The Lycra Company

Fitness first: Wellness is the new status symbol! Athleisure has moved far beyond the basic black legging, as design meets functionality. Social media is buzzing with an increasing number of people showcasing their healthy lifestyles and posting photos of themselves wearing stylish athleisure apparel across a range of activities and occasions. Coolmax EcoMade All Season technology helps expand the comfort zone of the wearer, no matter what they demand of their apparel. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled resources, it ticks the social responsibility box for this growing tribe who incorporate wellness into everything they do. © The Lycra Company

Fitness First: Blurring lines and cross-sector convergence. As the lines between work, home and pleasure blur, so do the lines between activewear and daywear. Trickling through from streetwear to luxury, the influence of athleisure has profoundly changed the way we dress. On-the-go lifestyles, work-from-home and a growing awareness of health and fitness has driven a desire for apparel that can “do it all”. New Coolmax EcoMade technology made from 100% textile waste offers moisture management and dries quickly, whilst Lycra Energize fibre adds compression to help optimise performance. © The Lycra Company

Luxe Essential: Romantic Glamour! Gender neutral and unashamedly nostalgic, this look takes inspiration from the glamour era of the silver screen. Deco-esque geometric shapes, presented in a subtle and very personal way. Lycra Shaping technology enhances the silhouette, offering comfort with smooth, yet firm, support across a wide range of body types. © The Lycra Company

Luxe Essential: Luxurious Marble! Revered by ancient cultures for its beauty and strength, marble has represented luxury and glamour throughout the history of civilization. In AW22/23 we will see marble appearing in everything from fashion to interior design. Thermolite Far Infrared (FIR) technology uses the body’s infrared energy to generate gentle warmth, whilst Lycra Energize fibre adds energizing compression. © The Lycra Company

Bio Rhythms: Artificial Nature! Designs explore a simulated view of the natural world, straddling the divide between nature and technology. Lycra Super Summer Sheer technology delivers incredibly sheer hosiery with a better than bare appearance and greater durability. © The Lycra Company

Bio Rhythms: Growing and Evolving Form. Dynamic patterns that look as if they are still growing and moving. Diffused, dispersed and spread, embracing uncontrollable and dynamic colouring as if captured during a process of evolution. Coolmax toughFX technology transports moisture away from feet and offers improved durability. © The Lycra Company
