WHAT AND WHO
-ISPO R&D co creation-
Creative development x Product testing x Market launch
This is a community collaboration platform, where ISPO R&D and co creation closely connect designers with functional materials, selecting materials with environmental protection, innovation, functionality, and market potential for product development. Together with brands and designers, we explore the application boundaries and commercial transformation of different materials.
ISPO | HI-NEW-TEX ®| EVent ® | Dyneema ® The "R&D Co creation Activity" invites two founders of the LITAN brand to brainstorm and have fun together!
-Designer Introduction-
LITAN is a domestic designer skiing outdoor brand jointly founded by two young skiing enthusiasts out of their love for skiing and their keen sense of fashion and professionalism. The name LITAN comes from the nickname of the powerful sea monster Leviathan in mythology. In different systems, it also represents the winding snake, meaning the powerful skater, and symbolizes the continuous challenge of one's own spirit and reverence for nature on the winding snowpath.
LITAN wants to create a friendly and original design brand, committed to providing young skiing enthusiasts with more and better choices. The brand has a production and export supply chain of outdoor skiing equipment in Europe and America for over 25 years. While maintaining the technical level and quality of professional skiing suits required for different scenarios, it adds more unique design and functional elements, highlights individuality, and maximizes details, striving to promote the footsteps of Chinese manufacturing in the field of skiing and outdoor.
When I first received this project, my first reaction was that I could do some fun and experimental things without considering commercialization, starting from eVent ® Dyneema ® Think about the color, texture, and importantly, unparalleled lightweight of this material itself.
As soon as we get the fabric, we associate it with the element we already love, "glacier". Glaciers would emit blue light in the gaps under the penetration of sunlight. At first, I thought it would be boring to make clothes with pure white pleats, so I wanted to use the texture and semi transparent properties of the fabric itself to simulate the texture of glaciers.
Cooperate with eVent ® Dyneema ® The inherent texture, using stacking and manual positioning for three-dimensional cutting, magnifies the pleats of the fabric itself and makes the clothes more three-dimensional.
At the same time, as a very second tier brand, the glowing characteristics combine with the mythical attribute of "Leviathan" as a sea monster. One of the glowing segments of Godzilla in the movie was the first idea to emerge, so it set the concept tone of "giving the wearer a mysterious power like a shadow"
Due to limitations in technology and time, the breathing light was ultimately not loaded and instead used a highly saturated interior. In strong outdoor light, the folds would reflect a faint blue light due to light penetration.
