WHAT IS THE MAXXAM CRINKLE FABRIC?
Rosemary Moore was graduate of the Royal College of Art. She created a nylon and elastane fabric composition that's so adaptable that if made into a swimsuit can fit 7 sizes in one hence the one size fits most this also made it more sustainable as no sizing is needed which means less off cuts from the fabric.
.
In the late 80s, this MAXXAM crinkle fabric took the fashion world by storm as it was the era of body-conscious clothing. It's a multipurpose fabric that can be used for swimwear, dailywear and activewear, made in a variety of fibre compositions. It's finished tubular to produce a seamless fabric that supports the body with maximum comfort and it is super soft to feel and wear.

In 2014 MAXXAM made a come back into the limelight, however it has been in production for nearly 40 years. It’s now worn by the new generation or children of the mothers who wore it in the 80s....
