At the upcoming 41st edition of Milano Unica, from 8–10 July in Milan, premium stretch fibre Roica by Asahi Kasei will power a new wave of high-performance textiles for Autumn-Winter 2026/27. Roica’s presence underscores its commitment to innovation, sustainability and close collaboration with leading Italian mills.

With a strategy built on societal responsibility, co-creation and open communication, Roica continues to set the bar for intelligent stretch solutions that balance advanced functionality with refined aesthetics. Engineered to deliver much more than just elasticity, Roica brings performance features like degradability, recycled content and enhanced comfort, giving textile manufacturers the tools to exceed market expectations.

Ten leading Italian textile partners will showcase their latest collections featuring Roica’s cutting-edge fibre. From Brugnoli’s Explosive Technology that blends natural fibres with muscle support, to Iluna Group’s premium stretch lace crafted with recycled content, each partner demonstrates how Roica acts as a creative enabler, supporting sustainable performance without compromising design.

Highlights include Innova Fabrics’ Residual Free line, Inter Jersey Milano’s sartorial fabrics with Roica V550, Maglificio Maggia’s cashmere blends, and Reda’s anniversary fabric integrating degradable stretch for refined menswear. Maglificio Ripa, Penn Solutions, Sitip Group and Tessitura Colombo Antonio will also unveil diverse applications from activewear to luxury lace, proving Roica’s versatility across fashion, sportswear, lingerie and technical textiles.

Roica’s collaborative approach delivers tailored technical support, co-development opportunities and proprietary innovations that elevate fabric performance and sustainability. The result is a new generation of textiles ready to meet evolving consumer expectations for responsible, high-quality materials.
