KnitWarm presents smart textiles at Fashion World Tokyo 2024

October 15, 2024 - Hong Kong

KnitWarm is presenting its cutting-edge smart textiles at the ongoing Fashion World Tokyo 2024, under Hong Kong pavilion (booth A21-47 & A22-47).

KnitWarm integrates advanced heat-conductive technology with sustainable materials like silver-coated yarn and recycled fibres, offering customisable, targeted warmth directly to the body. By reducing the need for traditional heating methods and disposable heat packs, KnitWarm’s products significantly lower energy consumption and environmental waste, providing a practical solution for personal comfort with sustainability at its core.

KnitWarm has recently teamed up with designer Lincoln Szeto, who draws inspiration from the colour ‘Benihi’ (Scarlet), symbolising vitality and warmth. Traditionally used in Japanese silk dyeing, ‘Benihi’ blends natural dyes like safflower and turmeric with scientific methods to achieve its distinct hue. This vibrant colour not only carries historical significance but also has physiological effects, stimulating the autonomic nervous system to enhance organ function, the company said in a press release.

The collection merges Szeto’s unique design aesthetic with KnitWarm’s technology, offering comfort and warmth in a style that reflects the designer’s relaxed yet sophisticated vision. His approach blends creativity, functionality, and technology, delivering garments that exude understated elegance while boosting the wearer’s confidence.

KnitWarm is also showcasing other groundbreaking projects at the fair, offering attendees a chance to experience its innovative solutions for sustainable and stylish applications.
