Cifra, a leading company in the production of Warp Knit Seamless (WKS™), will present their new concept garments at the Functional Fabric Fair in Portland (October 22nd and 23rd) and at Performance Days in Munich (November 13th and 14th). These outdoor, hybrid, activewear and athleisure prototypes have been created with an exclusive, internationally patented technology.
“We want to export our know-how to the most important sport-oriented areas of the world, namely the United States and Germany, today undisputed outposts in our sector,” said Cesare Citterio, CEO of Cifra. “Our across-the-board technology is what makes us appealing to all brands, from international fashion houses to trend niche brands. Among the new proposals that we’ll be presenting at the upcoming trade fairs, I’d like to highlight the innovative developments that have occurred in hybrid jackets, which are already proving to be the main theme in clothing for the near future.”
Cifra is today considered an absolute point of reference in responsible production with its Zero Waste commitment (with seamless warp all the yarn is transformed into a product, whereas with traditional fabric, the packaging waste is about 15-30%), as well as the Green Attitude project which has to do with the introduction of eco-sustainable and regenerated yarns such as Econyl® by Aquafil, QNova® by Fulgar, Starlight® by Radici, Amni Soul Eco® by Fulgar, Eco Smart® by Roica, and Sensil® Ecocare by Nilit Fibers.
Among the most recent in textile innovations, Warp Knit Seamless® ranks among the most significant and far-reaching. It has to do with a new way of imagining seamless, both in terms of manufacturing technology and in terms of the final product, compared to traditional garments which are made on circular or rectilinear machines. For sportswear this innovative technology plays a fundamental role in the creation of unique, high-performance, functional garments with a contemporary style that guarantees comfort and durability.
