| Lycra ® |
For the third consecutive year, the
LYCRA® brand is proud to be a part of
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami
Swim, where the brand will celebrate
the continued success of its latest
revolution in swim: Xtra Life LYCRA®
fabric. Adopted by top designers
and recognized as added value
by consumers, Xtra Life LYCRA® has
changed the way women feel about
themselves in swimwear. This season,
the brand will use the Miami event
to speak directly to the consumer by
putting fabulous fitting swimwear into
the hands of real women.
A well-known fashion expert from reality television will join the LYCRA® brand in creating a twoday interactive fashion experience focused on fit, which consumer research has identified as the most important consideration of women purchasing new swimsuits. The revolutionary Xtra Life LYCRA® fabric addresses this issue, offering unsurpassed fit and shape retention that resists bagging and sagging. On July 10th LYCRA® will take this message to the consumer, combing Miami Beach and targeting women in need of a swim makeover for a better fitting suit. “Xtra Life LYCRA® Fits the Beach” will be a guerilla style fit clinic – bringing real solutions to real women and showcasing the 2007 collections from key swim brands such as Becca, Betsey Johnson, Red Carter and Shan, all of whom use the Xtra Life LYCRA® fabric to give their swimsuits a superb fit. The LYCRA® brand also will stage the event’s only group showing on July 11th at 9pm. This “Runway Reality” fashion show will feature 2008 swimwear collections from top designers using Xtra Life LYCRA® fabric in their designs. And, for the first time ever, the show will feature real women, as makeover winners from the previous day’s fit event will join the models strutting their stuff on the catwalk. To learn more about Xtra Life LYCRA® and the 2008 retail plans, please contact Ninabeth Sowell at ninabeth.g.sowell@invista.com or visit www.lycra.com. |

Peroni Nastro
Azzurro. Since the early sixties, style has been synonymous with Italian culture. Those who’ve managed to maintain a pulse on the world’s ever-changing fashion scene have witnessed the rise of some of the biggest names in the design community. These respectable, designer brands have helped define a country now famous for its fashion sensibility. And it’s beer – Peroni Nastro Azzurro. Crafted in 1963, during the height of Italy’s great fashion movement, Peroni Nastro Azzurro has come to embody the very essence of Italian style – La Dolce Vita. Its delicate aroma and sparkling taste are both, at once, fruity hoppy and malty in a balance that defines Italian elegance. Its flavor is crisp, clean and balanced, with a finish that is to be appreciated – subtly strong, yet quick and finite. Peroni Nastro Azzurro is Italy’s No. 1 premium beer. |
