September 2008, Paris – Lycra brand owner Invista presented presented
Bahar Korçan’s new Capsule Collection at Première Vision in Paris last week to
celebrate its relationship with mills in Turkey. Bahar is a renowned Turkish fashion designer
who uses Lycra fibre innovations from leading mills to create beautiful
garments. Invista says that Bahar’s new collection is perfect to showcase the
benefits of the Lycra fibre brand.
An award winning designer, Bahar Korçan is well-known for
her international collections and has her own fashion brand in Turkey. She is the first and only fashion stylist to
be a member of the executive board of Turkish Clothing Manufacturers’
Association and is the chairman of the Fashion Design Association.
Bahar is passionate about nature and the cycle of life which
inspires her collections. Her vision is
to design garments that interpret the changes the world goes through and
highlight the impact of humans. Her
collection is full of colours with hidden meanings, such as greens which
symbolise hope and deep blacks that show pessimism in the world. Geometric accessories and frock coats are
used for decoration transforming the garments into a fun and retro look.
The fashion world is ever changing, with new trends and
fabrics giving consumers more choice. Bahar’s designs are fashion forward and
bring to life the benefits of the Lycra fibre portfolio which include comfort,
style and fit throughout her collection.
One of the Invista innovations Bahar uses in her collections
is Lycra Black fibre, which gives the garments long-lasting and darker colour
that resists fading after washing. Invista
says that consumers can wear their favourite item of clothing longer and
because Lycra fibre has stretch and recovery benefits, it will retain its shape
too. Bahar also uses T400 fibre for its
cool comfort and relaxed stretch benefits as well as Lycra Xtra Fine Collection
fibre which creates lightweight garments that are well fitted.
Bahar creates garments that can be worn across all seasons,
designed to represent the wearers’ decision to be environmentally
friendly. According to Invista, the
added Lycra fibre in the designs means that the garment will stay looking new
for longer so the wearer can resist the urge to buy new, similar wardrobe
essentials.
Scott Blackadar, Global Segment Director for Ready-to-Wear
at Invista said, “We are thrilled to be working with such a popular Turkish
designer and we are excited to showcase the Lycra brand through her
collection. Bahar uses local mills that
produce Lycra fibre and creates garments that are sustainable which is fully
supported by Invista.”
