Clothing has moved beyond the scope of simple   garments… It is the ultimate refuge for innovations which  allow us to live better, differently and more intensely.

Well-being goes far beyond the simple idea   of feeling "well".   “In europe, it has become a veritable lifestyle,   a conscious approach to our individual   existence, based on the idea that good health   and quality of life have a positive impact   on our metabolism, stress levels and daily   tensions”.

In  asia, this quest for harmony and well-being is ancestrally rooted in different cultures, through the precepts of Taoism and currents of thought such as Confucianism and Buddhism.

The market for products that improve well-being and health is flourishing, and offers numerous opportunities for innovative and functional textiles. They occupy a growing place in collections, be it ready-to-wear, lingerie or swimwear.

Within this context, cosmetic textiles and bioceramic textiles, which were still considered to be gadgets in the noughties, are now experiencing strong growth as these anti-aging and beauty products meet consumer demand: slimming leggings, firming tights, moisturising bodies...

Developing the effects of these different innovative technologies is now an essential research axis in order to develop this still emerging market.
