Nov 27, 2015 16:30 CET Craft Sportswear launches powerful US Ski Team racing suit The collaboration between Swedish sportswear brand Craft and the U.S. Ski Team has resulted in stylish and powerful racing garments that will be worn by Jessie Diggins, Andy Newell, Bryan and Taylor Fletcher and all the other stars on the American team during the 2015/2016 season. "It's fantastic to work together with the U.S. Cross Country and Nordic Combined Ski Teams," says Craft's designer Lena Karlsson. "USA has a tradition of strong expressions and a mentality to always go all in, which we have built on in the design of the new competition items. Using stars, stripes and dots in various sizes and placed them in lines that follow the moving body, we have created a suit that emanates speed and power. In this case, more is definitely more." The new U.S. Ski Team competition garments are based on Craft's revolutionary Podium Suit, which is made of very thin and lightweight Italian polyester that offers superior body-temperature management. Compression fabrics in the legs keep the muscles focused while ultrasonic taped seams create a smooth surface for optimal aerodynamics. The suit is packed with innovative features including Moving Wing Technology ™, which is a wing-like construction piece at the upper back that ensures total freedom of movement and allows the skiers to transmit all their power into each pole stroke. In addition, three-dimensional ergonomic design provides perfect fit and optimal comfort. The suit is also for teams and clubs to design and purchase through CRAFT’s custom program. The partnership between Craft and the US Ski Team started in 2015 and will continue through the 2018 Olympic season. Craft is a Swedish brand specializing in clothing for endurance sports where performance and comfort are crucial for a good result. Working closely with elite athletes and constantly developing new materials and technical solutions, Craft offers cutting-edge training and competition apparel. www.craftsports.us www.craftsportswear.com Contacts Daniel Högling Press Contact Product & Marketing Director [email protected] +46 (0) 33 722 33 85 +46 (0) 701 67 33 85.

The new competition wear will be worn by Kaisa Mäkäräinen and her colleagues on the Finnish team during the 2015/2016 season. "We looked for something that would really set the suit apart from the competition," says Craft's designer Lena Karlsson. "Soon we came up with the 'hannunvaakuna', the looped square that is a common symbol in Finland and that conveys strength and good luck. Placing the patterns in lines that follow the moving body, we have created a suit that truly radiates speed and power." The new Finland Biathlon competition garments are based on Craft's revolutionary Podium Suit, which has been equipped with biathlon-specific details such as smooth rubber patches in certain areas to ensure steady and precise shooting. Made of very thin and lightweight Italian polyester, the suit offers superior moisture transport and body-temperature management.

Exploring Generation Y Consumers' Fitness Clothing Consumption: A
Volume 10, Issue 3, 2018 Exploring Generation Y Consumers’ Fitness Clothing Consumption: A Means-end Chain Approach Katelyn Patrick Business Development Specialist, Glen Raven, MS & BS, College of Textiles, North Carolina State University Yingjiao Xu, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Textile and Apparel, Technology and Management, College of Textiles, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC ABSTRACT Thanks to the growing health awareness and the trend of athleisure, the fitness clothing market has been substantially growing. Generation Y consumers are one of the major segments for the sportswear industry in the U.S. The purpose of this study is to identify preferred product attributes, perceived benefits/consequences and driving values related to Generation Y consumers’ fitness clothing consumption. The means-end chain (MEC) model was adopted to identify the underlying values related to Generation Y consumers’ fitness clothing consumption. Data were collected from 35 subjects via laddering interviews. A hierarchical value matrix (HVM) was structured following the means-end chain analysis. Results highlighted Gen Y consumers’ self-esteem, social recognition, and financial needs in their consumption of fitness clothing. Aesthetics and price seemed to be the most salient attributes identified by the subjects for fitness clothing, followed by durability, performance, fit, breathability and wick-ability. Connecting product attributes to consumer values, perceived consequences included economic value, comfort, image, efficiency, and avoiding embarrassment. This study revealed the major values underlying Generation Y consumers’ consumption of fitness clothing as well as preferred product attributes and perceived benefits/consequences. These findings could provide great implications to the fitness clothing companies in their product development and marketing communication.

Jewish Wigs and Islamic Sportswear: Negotiating Regulations of Religion and Fashion Emma Tarlo Goldsmiths, University of London
1 Jewish wigs and Islamic sportswear: Negotiating regulations of religion and fashion Emma Tarlo Goldsmiths, University of London Abstract This article explores the dynamics of freedom and conformity in religious dress prescriptions and fashion, arguing that although fashion is popularly perceived as liberating and religion as constraining when it comes to dress, in reality both demand conformity to normative expectations while allowing some freedom of interpretation. The article goes on to trace the emergence of new forms of fashionable religious dress such as the human-hair wigs worn by some orthodox Jewish women and the new forms of Islamic sportswear adopted by some Muslim women. It shows how these fashions have emerged through the efforts of religiously observant women to subscribe simultaneously to the expectations of fashion and religious prescription, which are seen to operate in a relationship of creative friction. In doing so, they invent new ways of dressing that push the boundaries of religious and fashion norms even as they seek to conform to them. Keywords Jewish wigs Islamic sportswear fashion religion burqini sheitel This article explores the dynamics of the relationship between religious clothing regulation and fashion by tracking the evolution of new sartorial inventions that have emerged through religious women’s dual concerns with fashion and faith. It proposes that although religious regulations relating to dress play an obvious role in limiting sartorial possibilities, they also provide a stimulus for creative responses that result in stylistic innovation. Viewed in this light, new forms of fashionable religious dress should be seen not so much as attempts to dilute or circumvent religious prescriptions and regulations, but rather as aspiring to obey the rules of fashion and the rules of religion simultaneously.
