VISIONARY SOLUTIONS TO HELP YOUR CONSUMERS FALL IN LOVE WITH DENIM ALL OVER AGAIN
Start with jeans that are not only kinder to their bodies but also to our planet. Our bio-derived LYCRA® fiber (coming in 2025) provides the same comfort and performance while reducing your carbon footprint. And with LYCRA FitSense® denim technology, your consumers will discover their newest pair of favorite jeans offering discreet, targeted support in key areas like the tummy, thighs, and waist, giving them a perfect fit without the need for shapewear.
BIO-DERIVED LYCRA® FIBER
Coming soon! Bio-derived LYCRA® fiber made with QIRA® uses field corn instead of a fossil-based input to reduce the carbon footprint of LYCRA® fiber by up to 44 percent*. This sustainable product will help reduce the environmental impact of products while offering the equivalent performance as original LYCRA® fiber, eliminating the need for significant production changes or re-engineering of fabrics or patterns.

LYCRA FITSENSE® DENIM TECHNOLOGY
This consumer-driven solution for denim lovers offers a customizable fit, providing discreet, invisible, targeted shaping in areas like the tummy, thighs, legs, rear, and waist. This breakthrough innovation directly integrates turnable and targeted stretch into the garment, eliminating the need for additional support like shapewear while ensuring maximum comfort and a natural denim look and feel.
LYCRA® XFIT FABRIC
Transform denim with a patented innovation offering new design opportunities in bi-stretch denim. Fabrics developed with LYCRA® XFIT fabric give an authentic vintage look with 360-degree stretch and a soft feel, avoiding the unwanted gummy touch of traditional bi-stretch fabrics. This technology supports a stable fabric stretch with easy control for better size consistency, allows for creating two layers of denim for warmth, and reduces bag and sag, providing a better fit and ensuring a prolonged wearing experience.
THE BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF COMMERCIALIZATION
Welcome to the era of material innovation, where the future revolves around low-impact and circular fibers! Meet the pioneers transforming natural resources and waste into cutting-edge materials. What does it take to bring these revolutionary innovations to market? Join us as we explore the benefits and challenges of commercialization, and discover how creativity, technology, and sustainability are reshaping denim—driven by the planet, for the people.
