Goodbye to the tie for one day

October 21st saw the birth of the first ”tie-less” day.
Men wearing ties on the main square of Graz were put into cages while passers-by’s were handed ‘tie-free’ buttons. The goal was to make the statement that ties are no longer in fashion; and simotaniously to promote the use of natural, functional fibers. “Dresscode 21” was presented as an alternative. Its three female designers made the most of the opportunity by creating a very special TENCEL® shirt. No ties were needed, and the result was something very different!

Lenzing Modal® - first-ever spun-dyed rotor yarn for socks

For ladies and gents the spotlight is on black socks like never before.
Lenzing Modal® spun-dyed socks are both economical and ecological. The dye pigment is previously integrated in the spinning mass and guarantees high color brilliance, fastness to light and perspiration values. For the first time ever a rotor yarn has been processed by Avelgemse. It is similar to a ring-spun cotton yarn in terms of the hand, but much better when it comes to ”wash & wear“ properties.
