In 2025, Bodywear Lab will be at the forefront of fabric innovation, revolutionising the bodywear industry by integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices. As the landscape of performance textiles evolves, we are pioneering new solutions that redefine what bodywear can achieve—blending technical precision with eco-conscious design. Our expertise spans from 3D prototyping and AI-driven personalisation to groundbreaking wellness fabrics and alternative zero-waste constructions, ensuring that every material we work with meets the highest standards of innovation and sustainability.
Our commitment to excellence is evident in our adoption of cutting-edge materials and design methodologies that prioritise both comfort and functionality. Whether through the development of smart textiles that enhance the wearer’s well-being, seamless bonding techniques that improve fit and durability, or the use of bio-based fibres that reduce environmental impact, Bodywear Lab is shaping the future of bodywear. By collaborating with leading textile innovators and forward-thinking brands, we are creating fabrics that not only elevate performance but also support a more responsible and circular industry.
As consumers become more conscious of wellness and self-care, bodywear is evolving to meet these demands. One of the most exciting developments is the incorporation of added vitamin C into fabrics. This technology involves infusing textiles with microencapsulated vitamin C, which is gradually released upon contact with the skin. The result is a garment that offers skin-rejuvenating properties, helping to combat the effects of aging and pollution.
Several companies are incorporating wellness fabric technology into bodywear, offering garments that support skin health and provide additional benefits like improved circulation.Â
TexDel, for example, uses Nufabrx® technology to infuse fabrics with active ingredients, including vitamin C. This innovation allows the vitamins to be gradually released through the fabric, offering a rejuvenating effect on the skin, even after multiple washes. Similarly, Cilander, a Swiss textile company, creates fabrics that integrate vitamins, including vitamin C, directly into the yarns. These garments are designed to provide wellness benefits through sustained contact with the skin, helping to combat the effects of aging and environmental pollution. Another platform, Biosensory Fabrics, integrates wellness technologies such as anti-microbial agents, moisture-wicking properties, and UV protection into their fabrics. These innovative materials are ideal for activewear and bodywear designed to be worn throughout the day, offering not just style and comfort, but added health benefits.

At Bodywear Lab, we have embraced digital transformation by integrating 3D design technology into our development process. Collaborating with pioneers like Style3D and ASSYST, our design team utilises state-of-the-art tools to visualise and prototype bodywear concepts with precision. This digital approach allows us to:
This seamless connection between design and production is a testament to how technology fuels innovation, empowering us to deliver bodywear that meets the highest standards of style and performance.
Traditional stitching can sometimes lead to irritation, especially in intimate apparel, but the emergence of glue bonding and seamless construction techniques is solving this problem. Glue bonding leverages advanced adhesives like Bemis’s EverFit technology to seamlessly join fabrics, eliminating the need for visible seams or stitches. This method not only enhances comfort by reducing friction against the skin but also provides a sleek, modern aesthetic. Additionally, seamless construction techniques improve the durability and flexibility of bodywear, ensuring that garments maintain their shape and performance over time. By adopting these innovative construction methods, Bodywear Lab is setting new standards in comfort and design for the bodywear industry.
