This summer’s Functional Fabric Fair is focused on sportswear, workwear, sportive fashion and athleisure apparel and will highlight a variety of topics such as:
These topics align with many themes that CELLIANT stands behind, and we are very excited to showcase this to future brand partners. Let’s take a deeper dive into each topic.
As we continuously move in the direction of innovation, we are thrilled to officially introduce CELLIANT Print to the Functional Fabric Fair audience. Traditionally, CELLIANT has been embedded directly into fibers and yarns. CELLIANT Print allows for the bioceramic minerals to be applied directly onto the surface of many different fabric types, including your existing preferred fabrics. Additionally, CELLIANT Print allows for the highest potency of CELLIANT to be added to the end product. From small-scale applications like athletic tape to large-scale applications like bedding, CELLIANT can accommodate a range of print projects and will last the useful life of the garment, or about 50+ washes. This latest innovation expands the uses of the CELLIANT technology, ultimately increasing the number of prospective partners at the forefront of innovation.
Functional fabrics are defined as a fabric or textile product that provides some function above and beyond the basic function it’s primarily designed for. Functional fabrics and technical textiles have been around for some time, but the idea of clothing that can convert your own body heat into infrared energy and automatically deliver the benefits back to the wearer offers a fresh perspective on what makes fashion functional. CELLIANT itself is not actually a fabric, rather, it is a blend of bioceramic minerals that are ground to an extremely fine powder which can then embedded into fabrics. This creates bio-responsive fabrics with performance benefits, such as increasing local circulation and improving cellular oxygenation, which support performance, recovery and restful sleep. Brands like Under Armour and Levi’s have successfully partnered with CELLIANT in apparel and athleisure lines, giving the term ‘function meets fashion’ a whole new meaning.
In April of 2022, PERFORMANCE DAYS began their journey to carbon neutrality and began showcase CO2 reducing innovations at their fairs, including Functional Fabric. As of November 2022, PERFORMANCE DAYS has officially been able to indicate the CO2 emissions for each product within their Focus Topic Category, called “The Journey to Carbon Neutrality”, marking a huge step forward for the fashion industry at large. Many fashion brands are switching to these types of sustainability monitoring efforts. CELLIANT is excited to be front and center for these conversations at the Functional Fabric Fair New York.
