Decathlon Capsule CollectionWhere Heat Meets Style in Every Thread.
Introduction
What if?
What if clothing materials could adapt to changing temperatures and humidity levels throughout the day, providing optimal comfort and breathability in Madrid's extreme heat?
How might fashion designers develop clothing lines specifically designed for outdoor workers, athletes, and other professionals who spend extended periods in extreme heat, prioritizing comfort, functionality, and safety?
Weak signals
Breathable and Lightweight Fabrics
People will increasingly opt for breathable, lightweight fabrics. These materials feel soft against the skin and allow air circulation, helping keep the body cool by facilitating sweat evaporation.
Functional Features
Clothing designed with moisture-wicking technology will help keep the skin dry and comfortable in humid conditions, catering to the needs of more active individuals during hot weather.
Sustainable Practices
As climate change awareness grows, consumers increasingly seek sustainable fashion options. Brands may use organic cotton, recycled materials, and other eco-friendly fabrics, requiring less water and energy.
Prototype
We developed a Decatlhon heated fashion capsule that:
- • Makes sure that people in hot climates can stay cool, comfortable and stylish.
- • Are ideal for use in extreme heat outdoors, as they meet the needs of people in hot climates.
- • Explores the use of reflective fabrics, which can help keep wearers cooler by deflecting sunlight.
Collection's highlight: a breathable, long-sleeved top made from the latest moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating fabrics.
Sustainable, breathable sneakers with moisture-wicking insoles and built-in cooling systems kept feet cool and dry.
