Sensitive® Fabrics anticipate Summer 2022 with a collection designed to express a glamorous and comfortable femininity whatever the context. Ideal for the production of swimwear thanks to their second-skin effect, Sensitive® Fabrics are highly performing and able to guarantee a 50+ sun protection factor, breathability and an elevated resistance – ten times higher than that of other fabrics – to the detrimental effects of chlorinated water, sun creams and heat. Warp-knitted and endowed with three-dimensional stretch, quick-drying and tested for shape and colour retention, Sensitive® Fabrics are fruit of an innovative technology for manufacturing protective and versatile swimwear.
The five trends presented stem from the versatility of Sensitive® Fabrics: Botanical, Artistic Abstract, Wild Tropical, Incised Opulence and Softly Retro. Themes play with the charm of the past and a desire for the future, poised between art and nature, enwrapped in an elegance of romantic glamour or sophisticated refinement.
BOTANICAL TREND
Floral patterns spark new emotions and generate a new-found sensation of rebirth. A timeless charm evokes a new season in a contemporary vision. Refined and graceful motifs challenge the desire for beauty in an intermingling of sophisticated hues borrowed from a botanical palette. The charm of lilac and lavender are offset by the timeless touch of violet orchid nuances, olive green and sizzling orangey pink. A series of refined pictorial shades come to rest on Sensitive® Fabrics, to create romantic and versatile looks for exhibiting in an infinite number of summer stylings, swimsuits or elegant beach robes.
ARTISTIC ABSTRACT TREND
Abstract geometric motifs in timeless colour combinations: Atlantic blue, deep yellow and bright red break away from traditional palette restrictions and meet up in complex chromatic balancing acts with black and white, resulting in a “colour block” effect. Colour combinations characterised by strong nuances and a nautical twist take centre stage to make a strong and energy-packed fashion statement.
WILD TROPICAL TREND
Prints that are increasingly cool, impacting and persuasive set out to conquer beaches and coastal haunts, in colour interpretations borrowed from nature. Revisited in the brightest hues with patterns intentionally enlarged and inspired by a jungle vibe. Artistic animalier references break the monotony of a classical style and flaunt their charms in dynamic decorative motifs based on a palette of aloe green, guava pink and pomegranate pink. A bold and energizing theme experimented on Sensitive® Fabrics for ‘resort wear’ outfits in an exotic transgression of pronounced femininity.
INCISED OPULENCE TREND
A return to the roots which puts the focus on the shape, colour and neutral yet visually impacting use of ancient materials associated with legend and African motifs. Tribal prints are enhanced by geometric patterns and shades of brown, teamed up with the graphic art and artisanal techniques using rattan and macramé weaves. A soft, natural and extremely trendy palette explores the range of earthy tones, while playing with shades of nude and beige to intensify deep browns.
SOFTLY RETRO TREND
This is the theme that casts a nostalgic glance back to the fabulous atmospheres of Capri and Saint-Tropez, a journey through time and the history of swimwear, leading up to the costumes of Baywatch. A “gentle-retro” trend pursues a subtle and pared-down aesthetic in faded pastel colours such as clay pink, pale lilac and iridescent mother-of-pearl. Lightly drawn lines interpret a subtle design of delicate graphic motifs and refined geometric patterns, the ideal solution for costumes with a more sporty and performing design.
