SALT LAKE CITY

Bemis Associates (Booth #155-513), the design and development partner for the world’s great technical, performance, lifestyle and luxury brands, announced a partnership with INVISTA’s CORDURA® Brand at Summer Outdoor Retailer 2015 taking place in Salt Lake City, UT Aug. 5-8. The two companies collaborated on an innovative new women’s performancewear collection composed of an outdoor anorak jacket, top and pants designed by Struktur Studio’s Michelle Rose for the latest addition to Cordura brand designer partnership.

“Our latest designer collaboration with Struktur Studios was a great opportunity to team up with Bemis,” said global CORDURA® brand director Cindy McNaull. “Their Sewfree solutions complement our new soft touch CORDURA® fabrics and allowed Michelle to merge technology components into stylishly beautiful performance active wear for today’s modern woman.”

Bemis’ bonding solutions and seam tapes give Rose’s designs graphic features, smooth edges, sleek lines and enhanced stretch and recovery. Combined with innovative textiles including CORDURA® Naturalle, CORDURA® UltraLite, and CORDURA® Canvas, the garments blend the best of technical construction and a modern aesthetic without sacrificing comfort or hand feel.

“We love working collaboratively with companies that have a similar commitment to design like CORDURA® brand,” said Steve Howard, Chief Executive Officer of Bemis Worldwide. “Michelle Rose’s inspired collection is representative of the trends we see in the marketplace today. It makes sense that designers creating garments for an active adventurer look beyond basic construction methods to our Sewfree solutions. They enable designers to elevate the functionality and durability of their garments without sacrificing style.”
