It staged a variety of spaces at the fair in demonstration of its strong commitment to social and environmental sustainability expressed in four key drivers of growth: technology, inspiration, innovation, and design.
“Raise your energy” is our slogan for living an inspired year 2022. So the staging for ‘Inspiration: 80 years of Innovation,’ called “Forever New,” gave attendees an experience with the essence of inspiration that transforms. The space was filled with the rich feel of digital printing on garments, furniture, curtains, uniforms, and athletic wear.

Elsewhere, Lafayette Sports presented its latest collection of sustainable textiles made from biodegradable base fabrics for different applications, including t-shirts, leggings, and jackets. In less than 2 years, these base fabrics biodegrade 75% in a marine environment and 91% in a landfill.
