A high-performing capsule collection is described as having a strong focus on fitness, with a sophisticated and metropolitan approach for a high-comfortable total look suggested by dresses, pants, body-suits, tops, skirts and jackets.

Athleisure trend

“It is a very ambitious project, which has required strong and mindful development. We are very proud of Parah’s collaboration and honoured that such a ‘brand of excellence’ has opted for Nilit in setting-up this new project and we are confident that results will come quickly,” commented Pierluigi Berardi, Director of Global Marketing at Nilit Fibers.

“Today athleisure is a quite new but already crowded area which in the long run will leave no room to improvisation. Those, like us, who seriously and systematically make research and development and strive for innovation, are entitled to become a highly qualified reference partner.”

Nilit Innergy microfibre

The material chosen for this collection is the cutting-edge fabric that contains Nilit Innergy, a body-toning fibre, which is designed to offer nice feeling of well-being, due to a cutting-edge tested and patented formula, the company reports.

Nilit Innergy is a 6.6 polyamide microfibre (PA) with integrated FIR (Far Infrared) properties. The mineral additive of the fibre is said to convert the thermal energy of the human body into FIR and reflect it into the skin tissues by generating deep and gentle heat. The fibre-emitted mild heat tones up, strengthens and gives energy to the body, the company reports.

Since it is a microfibre, Nilit Innergy has a soft touch and it is high-resisting. According to the manufacturer, tests by independent external laboratories have supported the “FIR” fibre-emitting power. Repeated washing is said to not weaken the technology performance.

Collection

Garments have been designed to be extremely versatile, functional and comfortable. The sporty cut has been enriched by strategic tulle inserts in the spirit of “now you see it, now you don’t” to enhance femininity with a discreet and gentle sensuality, according to manufacturers.

Several kinds of garment are available in the collection: from running pants to be worn at work, to oversize sweatshirts to be used as mini-dresses. The range also features leggings, t-shirts, trousers, hooded blazers, as well as very sensual, super tight-fitting tracksuits for high-fashion nights.
