Hollister Performance Denim with COOLMAX
Hollister recently introduced a new line of performance jeans for guys and girls that incorporates INVISTA’s COOLMAX® ALL SEASON technology and LYCRA® fiber for year-round comfort and lasting fit.
One of the most relevant trends in the denim category today is to integrate performance fibers for added functionality. Hollister is taking a leading position in the performance arena with their Advanced Stretch Jeans with COOLMAX® ALL SEASON technology. The fabric moves moisture away to keep the body cool and dry on hot days, and has insulating fibers for added warmth when it is cool. These benefits come from the fiber structure, so they are permanent and don’t wash out.
“At Hollister, denim is a part of our DNA and we continue to find ways to enhance the assortment. Our goal with the innovative COOLMAX® ALL SEASON technology is to provide products that fit the needs of our customer’s on-the-go lifestyle,” said Kristin Scott, Brand President of Hollister Co.
“We believe pairing one of the hottest teen denim brands and with one of the coolest fabric technologies available on the market today will resonate with consumers,” remarked Dave Trerotola, President of INVISTA Apparel and Advanced Textiles. “Our research shows that among ingredient brands in the cooling space, the COOLMAX® brand is the most likely to positively influence purchase intent.” *
In conjunction with launch of the new product line, Hollister and INVISTA have created an exciting, new multi-channel social media campaign to showcase the benefits of the jeans. Digital illusionist and YouTube star, Zach King, appears in a video via this link https://coolmax.com/en/News-and-Blog/2017/01/Zach-King promoting the magic of jeans with COOLMAX® ALL SEASON technology. Teen influencers will be featured in shareable content, and others can join in the fun by using the hashtag #HollisterCOOLMAX.

Integrate Fashion Rules Into Protective Work Clothing
INVISTA's CORDURA® brand fabric, known for durability,
comfort and performance, has joined forces with students at ESMOD Paris to
bring a new perspective to workwear: How to integrate the rules of fashion into
protective work clothing.
Using inspiration from a range of CORDURA® fabrics, ESMOD students will develop a complete style portfolio consisting of several casual designs for both men and women. Designers will begin with traditional work clothing concepts and integrate modern world fashion styling concepts. The goal is to create versatile pieces showcasing style crossover between fashion, sport and work clothing. Selected student designs will be produced using appropriate CORDURA® brand fabrics.
Students will explore a family of CORDURA® fabric technologies, renowned for resistance to abrasion, tears and scuffs: CORDURA® NaturalleTM fabric with the look and feel of cotton; CORDURA® HP Hi-Vis fabric for high visibility solutions; CORDURA® NYCO fabric combining cotton with nylon 6,6 for clothing that is ultra-comfortable and durable; CORDURA® Denim fabric, offering abrasion resistant performance with a traditional denim style; and CORDURA® Combat WoolTM fabric combining the warmth and comfort of wool with durability of nylon. Additionally, students will learn techniques such as printing, dyeing and embroidery to integrate into their finished concepts.
Final designs will be presented on April 6, 2016 at ESMOD Paris. Representatives from the CORDURA® brand team will have the opportunity to select garments to feature in special CORDURA® brand young designer displays at international trade exhibitions including Expoprotection in France (November 2016) and Outdoor Retailer in the United States (August 2016). Young designers will also be able to choose technical textiles from the range of CORDURA® fabrics to support future design activities.
"Innovation is an integral component of our brand ethos. This collaboration is an opportunity for the CORDURA® brand team to share its know-how of performance fabrics, and raise awareness about technical textiles among young designers," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA® brand and marketing director. "The CORDURA® brand strives to empower designers to create the desirable and wearable solutions of today, and tomorrow." Through opportunities like this, young designers at ESMOD Paris can learn how to work creatively within the technical constraints of certain clothing industry sectors.
Christine Walter-Bonini, managing director of ESMOD, is enthusiastic about this collaborative project: "We are delighted to facilitate this meeting between the young people who are designing tomorrow's fashions and the CORDURA® brand, because this creates a new link between innovation and tradition, the key theme for ESMOD since 1841."

Soft-Comfort Performance Fabrics
CORDURA®
brand announces its collaboration with TENCEL® from Lenzing,
showcasing the softer side of durability with the next generation of
soft-comfort performance fabrics. First in the collaboration line-up are new
softened strength denims featured in the latest CORDURA®
Denim 'Infinity' Collection, with more innovations across the CORDURA®
fabric family forthcoming. The CORDURA® Denim 'Infinity' Collection, part of
the "Authentic
Alchemie" Collection portfolio, presents latest generation performance
denims crafted to integrate the "best of both worlds" - softness with strength,
fashion with function and durability with definition.
TENCEL® fibre brings enhanced soft comfort properties, moisture management and sustainability benefits to the durable CORDURA® fabric portfolio. A lyocell fibre of botanic origin, TENCEL® has a smooth surface which results in fabrics that are soft and gentle on the skin. TENCEL® fibre also absorbs moisture in a controlled and regular manner helping to create an optimal environment to transport moisture away from the body.
"Our latest fabrics incorporating TENCEL® fibre go beyond traditional denims, migrating to lightweight and comfortable denims that can travel effortlessly with you throughout the day - wherever you may go," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA® brand and marketing director. "By combining the best elements of both of our brands, we are continuing to transform our apparel fabric portfolio to elevate its softer side. This helps raise the bar to create lightweight, comfortable solutions that do not compromise on durability."
According to Tricia Carey, director of global business development at Lenzing Fibers Inc., "As denim takes on modern evolution, we’re able to use our denim fabrics in ways that address our lifestyle. CORDURA® brand brings the long-lasting durability and strength, and we help enhance it with comfort and softness."
"We are just scratching the surface of where we can go together with the TENCEL® x CORDURA® combination," said McNaull. "We're optimistic that this collaboration and its supporting supply chain - including strong and highly innovative authorized mills such as Artistic Milliners, Arvind, Advanced Denim, and Kipas - is just the beginning of great things to come for us, our partners and our joint consumers as we continue to push the boundaries of durable fabrics."
Products from the collaboration can be seen at MUNICH FABRIC START on the LENZING TENCEL® stand (H3 | C15), as well at the Artistic Milliners stand (H7 | B24) within BLUEZONE, an independent concept for the denim and sportswear community.

"Since commercialization of the fabric in 1967, the CORDURA® brand has worked hand-in-hand with its mill and supply chain partners to break molds and blaze new trails - with all signs, roads and paths leading to a next generation of durable solutions. And 2017 may be the best year yet."
The brand kicks-off its celebration in early January 2017 with:
The 50th Anniversary Roadshow kicks off at Winter Outdoor Retailer 2017 in Salt Lake City, then heads to SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Munich Fabric Starts Blue Zone, ISPO Munich in Germany, IDEX in Abu Dhabi, Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany and more.

And 2017 may be the best year yet."
The brand kicks-off its celebration in early January 2017 with:
- New Fiber Technologies. The CORDURA® brand has pushed its legacy T420 nylon 6,6 staple fiber to the next level of tenacity. The new state-of-the-art, patent-pending INVISTA T420HT fiber is the highest tenacity nylon 6,6 staple fiber INVISTA has ever produced. This military-grade fiber technology is super strong and exceptionally durable, offering a new dimension of lightweight comfort and protection for extreme environments. Already adopted for use in combat uniforms by a major international military, multiple wear trials with fabrics made with INVISTA T420HT are underway, including extensive testing by the US military. Dickies® is the first commercial customer to use fabrics made with this new innovation and will launch its Dickies PROTM with CORDURA® military-grade fiber technology collection in Fall 2017.
- New Fabric Technologies. Carefully crafted blends of natural fibers and nylon 6,6 in fabrics like CORDURA® Denims and CORDURA® Combat WoolTM, are driving soft-comfort performance materials of the future. Blends of cotton, TENCEL® and wool with CORDURA® Denim technology create durable, long-lasting and cross-functional fabrics with next generation technical benefits including moisture management, thermal regulation, and more. Collaborations with Cone Denim on a first of its kind CORDURA® Selvage Denim and with Artistic Milliners on new CORDURA® COMBAT WoolTM Denim blends usher in new technical denims of the future.
- New Collaborations. Special collaborations will reflect on the past and reinvent the future. In the early 1990s, INVISTA's CORDURA® brand and Woolrich, America's Original Outdoor Clothing Company®, collaborated to create Wool-DuraTM, a specialty blend of iconic Woolrich wool and nylon 6,6 CORDURA® fabric used in hunting apparel. Now, the two are back together for the 50th anniversary of the CORDURA® brand with a newly reimagined Wool-DuraTM collection of fabric and garments that take inspiration from its hunting-centric predecessor while adding a modern, cross-functional twist for today's urban consumer. Spun and woven in Woolrich's 187 year old mill, the Wool-DuraTM collection mixes the legendary durability of CORDURA® fiber with the natural Woolrich wool qualities of warmth, comfort and softness to create a new contemporary classic.
The 50th Anniversary Roadshow kicks off at Winter Outdoor Retailer 2017 in Salt Lake City, then heads to SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Munich Fabric Starts Blue Zone, ISPO Munich in Germany, IDEX in Abu Dhabi, Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany and more. Follow along on social media with hashtag #CORDURA50.

And 2017 may be the best year yet."
The brand kicks-off its celebration in early January 2017 with:
- New Fiber Technologies. The CORDURA® brand has pushed its legacy T420 nylon 6,6 staple fiber to the next level of tenacity. The new state-of-the-art, patent-pending INVISTA T420HT fiber is the highest tenacity nylon 6,6 staple fiber INVISTA has ever produced. This military-grade fiber technology is super strong and exceptionally durable, offering a new dimension of lightweight comfort and protection for extreme environments. Already adopted for use in combat uniforms by a major international military, multiple wear trials with fabrics made with INVISTA T420HT are underway, including extensive testing by the US military. Dickies® is the first commercial customer to use fabrics made with this new innovation and will launch its Dickies PROTM with CORDURA® military-grade fiber technology collection in Fall 2017.
- New Fabric Technologies. Carefully crafted blends of natural fibers and nylon 6,6 in fabrics like CORDURA® Denims and CORDURA® Combat WoolTM, are driving soft-comfort performance materials of the future. Blends of cotton, TENCEL® and wool with CORDURA® Denim technology create durable, long-lasting and cross-functional fabrics with next generation technical benefits including moisture management, thermal regulation, and more. Collaborations with Cone Denim on a first of its kind CORDURA® Selvage Denim and with Artistic Milliners on new CORDURA® COMBAT WoolTM Denim blends usher in new technical denims of the future.
- New Collaborations. Special collaborations will reflect on the past and reinvent the future. In the early 1990s, INVISTA's CORDURA® brand and Woolrich, America's Original Outdoor Clothing Company®, collaborated to create Wool-DuraTM, a specialty blend of iconic Woolrich wool and nylon 6,6 CORDURA® fabric used in hunting apparel. Now, the two are back together for the 50th anniversary of the CORDURA® brand with a newly reimagined Wool-DuraTM collection of fabric and garments that take inspiration from its hunting-centric predecessor while adding a modern, cross-functional twist for today's urban consumer. Spun and woven in Woolrich's 187 year old mill, the Wool-DuraTM collection mixes the legendary durability of CORDURA® fiber with the natural Woolrich wool qualities of warmth, comfort and softness to create a new contemporary classic.
The 50th Anniversary Roadshow kicks off at Winter Outdoor Retailer 2017 in Salt Lake City, then heads to SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Munich Fabric Starts Blue Zone, ISPO Munich in Germany, IDEX in Abu Dhabi, Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany and more.
