Slow Fashion and Natural Stretch.

In some fabrics commercially defined as “ Natural Stretch ” an attempt is made to exacerbate some characteristics of the fabric in order to obtain a relatively elastic fabric without using elastomers such as Lycra, Dorlastan or Spandex.

 

The garments made with this technique offer a superior fit, so as to adapt to the movements of the human body, and at the same time maintain the breathability that distinguishes natural fibers. To produce the capsule  Super 150's Merino Extra Fun has developed a finishing procedure, called Permafinishing, which made it possible to obtain an elasticity both in the warp and weft direction of approximately 6% higher than a fabric in the reference benchmark.

 

All this fits perfectly into our Slow fashion friendly project placed in opposition to fast fashion, that is to that production and cultural system that was born from the crisis of prêt-à-porter and from the processes of globalization of fashion. In both meanings, "slow fashion" refers to practices of designing, producing and consuming fashion that are an alternative to the dominant systems.
