Did you know, Nylon was the first synthetic fabric ever made? A byproduct of petroleum, manufactured for military products in World War II, nylon is now used in all types of clothing with particular use in activewear and swimwear. Unfortunately the production of nylon does come with environmental impacts. Being made from a non-renewable resource and requiring a large amount of resources to produce.
We support any company that is reducing their fabric manufacturing waste and particularly companies using innovative fabric technology to achieve their apparel needs. Recycled nylon is slowly becoming a viable alternative to newly produced nylon however this technology has been slow to be adopted.
Those companies and brands that are choosing to utilise this textile option, struggle to maintain the balance between being sustainable, fashionable and comfortable. But one Australian women’s fashion brand, LaSculpte swimwear is doing just that.
Who is LaSculpte?
LaSculpte is a women’s gymwear, shapewear and swimwear brand with a focus on fitness clothing that flatters your body type. Created to provide clothing to make all women feel comfortable, the brand is also making waves with their high quality fabrics used in their manufacture of shapewear, activewear and swimwear. Designing fashion for women who live busy lifestyles involves creating clothing that is not only practical but is fashionable, comfortable and makes you feel good.
How are LaScultpe’s clothes sustainable?
LaSculpte uses sustainable materials including an innovative fibre blend named Econyl. Econyl is one of the best-known regenerated nylon products and is infinitely recyclable. Econyl is a 100% recycled nylon blend made from abandoned fishing nets and nylon waste from landfills and oceans around the world.
LaSculpte also uses Repreve recycled nylon in their products. Another nylon fibre made of 100% recycled materials, this fabric helps produce less greenhouse gases and uses less water to manufacture.
Further Innovations in Apparel
Aside from their innovative use of recycled technology, LaSculpte’s clothing is built to last. Not conforming to the demands of fast fashion, LaSculpte makes sure their customers receive high quality products that are long-lasting. LaSculpte also has a focus and commitment to sustainable fashion through the production of clothing that is produced in an ethical way and made with care.
Creating activewear fashion should be an inclusive endeavour but with most companies, plus size fashion is commonly overlooked. LaSculpte designs fashionable clothing for regular and plus size individuals with shaping technology to help with comfort and mobility.
High quality fabrics and inclusive sizing aren’t the only differences the brand is making in the apparel world. The activewear is also designed to suit the customers’ needs. That is why activewear built from recycled materials also needs to be built for performance. LaSculpte’s activewear is designed with a high level of breathability, allowing for the skin to breathe during physical activity. The fabric and design is also moisture wicking and quick drying to keep the user comfortable and dry.
For example, LaSculpte’s chlorine resistant swimwear is made using special chlorine resistant fabric. This choice in fabric textile is a high quality fabric that is designed to keep its shape fitting form for longer as well as being fade resistant. LaSculpte also prides themselves on their beautiful range of stylish options for regular and plus size women.
