At Milano Unica, hosted at Fiera Milano Rho from January 20 to 22, nine European partners present collections developed with ROICA, the premium stretch fiber by Asahi Kasei. Rather than standing independently, ROICA is seamlessly integrated into each textile, selected by manufacturers focused on refinement and substance in modern materials. Through these collaborations, ROICA supports the apparel sector with advanced stretch, comfort, and environmental consideration, serving brands that prioritize craftsmanship and meaningful innovation.
Brugnoli
Brugnoli introduces high-performance comfort solutions for ready-to-wear and sportswear. A key highlight is Explosive Cotton Plus, produced using ultra-smooth American Pima cotton and the brand’s Explosive Technology. Originally designed for technical textiles, this method now brings muscle support, elasticity, and comfort to cotton garments suited for active use. Explosive Micromodal combines the same technology with TENCEL Modal, offering softness and effective moisture management. Fabrics incorporate the ROICA Colour Perfect Family for rich color and reliable stretch. Brugnoli emphasizes environmental responsibility with bio-based materials, recycled polyamide options, enhanced biodegradability, and certifications including GRS, GOTS, RCS, and OEKO-TEX. New developments feature TENCEL Modal with ROICA V550, a degradable stretch fiber designed for a defined end of life. All fabrics are produced in Italy.
Eusebio
Debuting as a ROICA partner, Eusebio highlights its expertise in circular knitting through a beachwear-focused collection. Offerings include stretch nylon jerseys, jacquard structures, and terry fabrics designed for swim and resortwear. ROICA integration ensures elasticity, fit, and color durability. LUREX-enhanced jacquards introduce visual richness. Production is carried out in Italy using sustainable energy, and all fabrics hold OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification.
Iluna Group
Iluna presents stretch laces for lingerie, beachwear, and fashion, combining aesthetic refinement with responsible innovation. Designs range from geometric motifs with metallic accents to floral and architectural patterns. ROICA EF recycled stretch fiber is central to the collection, alongside GRS-certified LUREX mesh and recycled polyamides such as Q-NOVA and Renycle. The Green Label range, traceability systems, and Higg Index monitoring reflect Iluna’s environmental commitment.
Innova Fabrics
Innova Fabrics focuses on performance textiles with environmental awareness, highlighted by its Residual Free line developed with Sensil Biocare and ROICA V550. These fabrics aim to reduce environmental impact while ensuring elasticity and durability. Applications span activewear, beachwear, and fashion. Production takes place in Italy under international certifications.
Inter Jersey Milano
The Spring Summer 2027 SENSUAL TECH collection explores soft-touch performance fabrics using the ROICA Resistance Family.

ROICA fibers provide gentle compression and consistent elasticity.
