THE MOOD
Shaping and sculpting continues on the hosiery
front, perfecting the female form. The importance

THE MOOD
A decorative approach to legwear features with a
renewed energy and pizazz. Prints push through
in abstract and geometric relief in creating lively
surface effects in multi colored, bi colored on toneon-tone. For Spring/Summer introduce a cotton
touch, through the inclusion of either cotton in
blends or from textured synthetic yarns that create
a cotton-like feel and for Fall/Winter look to thermal
applications.
DECORATIVE
ABSTRACT
The denier ranges from 50 - 80 in matte and
opaque on the footless front as hosiery continues
to adopt a leggings look. Prints are all part of this
direction, offering added detail and a perfect option
for consumers to update existing ready-to-wear.
For fancier fashion tights with a fishnet feel look to
incorporating the relief inspiration into the structure
or through jacquard effects.

VIBRANT
THE MOOD
Color is key in basics through to high level fashion
hosiery, as a lively focus shines through. Focus
on intense and vibrant tones with streamlined fit
from the inclusion of creora® spandex/elastane
from comfort fit to high level leg contouring. Matte
finishes work perfectly with the depth of color
but also look to elevating the hue through bright
synthetics for a shimmering finish.
It is not just hosiery that takes up this trend but
socks too. creora® eco-soft teamed with cotton,
silk, wool or cashmere is a perfect combination in
delivering bright basics through to a luxury level.
Solid or multi-colored in construction, EPIC ensures
that consumers are going to have a great day and
feel good. The appeal of the colors can also be
applied to the shaping hosiery market.
