One base. Different surfaces.
Six white 75D stretch samples with light-and-shadow textures. Compare gloss and texture, distinguishing surface finishing from woven jacquard.
MATERIAL STUDIES / CANTON FAIR EDIT
Start with material.
Make room for design.
The same fibre. Different structures. Different behaviours. A sample edit for the Canton Fair, inviting a closer look through light, touch and drape.
Exhibition preview · A material selection and guide to observation. Evaluate material behaviour with the physical samples.
01 / STRUCTURE
One weight.
Different structures.
Compare 8m/m organza, georgette, habotai and chiffon through transmitted light, surface and body.

Chiffon
Chiffon- 14m/m
- Crêpe de chine ↔ Twill
- 16m/m
- Crêpe de chine ↔ Crêpe satin
- 23m/m
- Crêpe de chine ↔ Gui crêpe
LOOK CLOSER / Compare transmission and surface under the same light, then feel the body.
02 / WEIGHT
From lightness to weight.
Follow a sequence of crêpe weights and observe folds, silhouette and natural drape.
CRÊPE / WEIGHT CONTINUUM
- Heavy satin
- 30m/m ↔ 60m/m
LOOK CLOSER / Compare folds and fall through large hanging samples. The 60m/m heavy crêpe also has its own Hero Material presentation.
03 / LIGHT
We play with light.
Surface, weave, thread and openness. Different materials respond to light in different ways.
WE PLAY
WITH LIGHT.
Pattern through weave
16m/m Sangbo satin, 25m/m animal jacquard satin, 27m/m Su brocade and polyester jacquard.
Catching light. Letting it through.
Coloured and silver threads, metallic jacquard and open leno constructions. Compare front light and backlight to read the spaces between yarns.
Relief in raking light
22m/m Guanle crêpe. Observe its dimensional surface under low-angle light.
One colour. Different light.
30m/m black crêpe satin, 32m/m twill Xiangyunsha and 30m/m black-finish Xiangyunsha. Compare lustre, construction and surface under the same light.
04 / BLENDS & COLOUR
Silk, in other company.
Silk with wool and cotton. Compare fibre combinations, then study colour within the same construction.
SILK ×WOOL
SILK ×COTTON
- Silk × Wool
- 40m/m satin, 35m/m twill, 28m/m botanical jacquard and 23m/m fan jacquard.
- Same construction · Different colour
- Coin motif: undyed ↔ tea red. Fish-belly motif: undyed ↔ grey. Silk–wool satin: undyed ↔ bronze green.
LOOK CLOSER / Compare fibre combinations, then colour within one construction. Each group asks one clear question.
